Biking for Babies Across America

By Gerry Fornes | www.crazyguyonabike.com

Day 17: Sanderson to Comstock, TX Monday September 16, 2024, 90 miles (145 km) – Total so far: 911 miles (1,466 km) Gerry – rest day

Vinny -I rode 90 miles without any services or shade. Got on the road at 5am. Very little wind for the first 3 hours of which I covered half the route. Unfortunately the next 5 hours were not as pleasant as the winds and temperatures rose. At least I didn’t experience any flats today.
