Nourishment is important when you are cycling 4-7 hours a day! Peanut butter, honey and banana sandwiches daily, caffeine in some form, egg frittata, super hero muffin, nut/raisin mix, small orange or apple and/or whatever we buy at rest stops. Preferred cycling bottle beverage is 1/3 cranberry juice 2/3 water. I have yet to find an electrolyte supplement I like.

Today’s cycling included short lovely bike path, then short country road, then 70mph hwy with rumble-strip-loaded narrow shoulder. Thank goodness very little traffic on that hwy we were on for 30+miles. Then various mixed highways. Thousands of acres of pine plantations. And sheez another rear flat tire for me a few miles from the end! Thanks again Steven. I did change out my tire tonight. 67.2 miles and 1620’ elevation, and I’m tired.
Our great luck with little 2 star motels caught up with us here in Coldspring… motel owner’s personal and personnel problems made for a several hour wait for Jody’s room! But then out to a lovely Sam Houston National Forest (which Jody had scouted earlier in the day) for a lakeside dinner of taco salad.

but thankfully light traffic



changing the third flat! 😩

dinner at the campground
Dinner at the campground looks lovely. And shouldn’t everyone have a “Steven” around to take care of one’s biking needs!
