Total miles: 856
Today we had a nice ride, but as luck would have it the convenience of a motel cut us a Iittle short. We traveled 68 miles at 14+ mph. A slight head wind slowed our progress for part of the day. The really good news was NO BRIDGES!
It now seems time to share something more personal about our ride. As you might expect Bill and I both have the necessary cycling attire. This includes padded shorts, a nice jersey, padded gloves, clip-in shoes, and a helmet. My shorts now have a hole about the size of a quarter and the hole gets bigger each day. My jersey sags and now has grease on the front from repairing my flat for the day. However, the true continuing humiliation can only be represented by the photo Bill took (see picture).
Bad hair day, hat head, or mohawk you pick the name.

Bad hair day, hat head, or mohawk you pick the name. It's not the name that counts, it's the funny looks you get when you go into the local diner for lunch with the construction workers. Remember my shorts have a hole, so Bill follows me everywhere. We're still trying to get to Texas. Yehawww!

Of course you could get a close haircut, save the clippings, and weave a patch for the shorts. That would solve multiple problems.
