Chapter 19

 Waring population of about 200, but they say this is the best burger joint in town:-)))
As we left this morning from Comfort, TX we had a slight drizzle coming down. Just enough to barely make things damp, and yes the wind was blowing out of the southeast again. still in some very hilly areas and pretty much due south of Austin TX.  We went by some very impressive ranches today. About 75% of them were for sale. They seemed to range in size from a mere 60 acres to 600 plus acres. Caught up with the kids from Australia- they were having spike problems on one of their bikes. They made some make-shift adjustments and should be able to get fixed up in Austin, TX shortly. With 18 straight days of riding and the challenging hills and winds the old legs are getting pretty sore. My knee joints ache pretty good tonight. May have to scale back the ride lenghts the next day or two if the winds don't become more favorable. It's nice to have new tires on the bike. Makes riding confidently a lot easier. I'm really starting to miss the gang at the Kalispell Costco. We sure have a great group of people employed there. I'm eating way to well on this trip, as my wife, Vargie, is spoiling me, but I have lost about 7-8 pound. Time to check the back of my eyelids for pinholes.

So long from Wimberley, TX

  3. Who would have thought Vargie would find a job on the road trip. I'll gladly pay a hundred dollars a day for Donna to take her seminars on how to treat your husband. She'll only need one, two, maybe three months of instruction. Oops, have to duck (literally) out.

  4. Mike take the time you need for your body to heal. I think you are doing an AMAZING thing no matter how fast or what route you take. You still need to think of yourself also. Costco misses you ALOT! Everytime I go in the building someone is looking at your map and commenting on your amazing adventure. Kris
