March 16, 2017. Sanderson Texas to Langtry Texas 60 miles and 1276 miles from the Pacific. Camp happy was set up between a busy highway in a train tracks last night. Not very peaceful but I slept pretty good anyways. I am on my bike as the sunrises trying to beat the strong winds predicted for today. The plan works well in the morning, but the afternoon not so much. I had a pity party for myself most the afternoon trying to finish the last 15 miles uphill against the strong headwind on a choppy road. So this is west Texas. I rode with Jerry again today and he is my inspiration. At seventy one years old he finished the day ahead of me. The headwind from hell are predicted again tomorrow and the next day. So either I need to except it and move on or continue my pity party. Tonight I’m still in the feeling sorry for myself and can’t seem to find the word grateful in my head. I used every last ounce of energy to get here. And here is just a wide spot in the road in the middle of nowhere. Peaire from Norway is also staying here tonight. He is also in the 70s and started from San Diego. More inspiration for me. I hope you find someone to draw inspiration from today as well.
Cheers,
Freebird
