Total: 1194 miles
Cyclist's Observation: Never sacrifice your bandanna for a menial cause.
After a nice ride from Cameron to Gatesville, Texas at 15 mph for 68 miles, it was time for a little relaxation. A comfortable tail wind pushed us along and we arrived early to our motel. We still need to ice our nagging leg injuries and keep our enthusiasm to a minimum. We have a long way to go.
I want to elaborate on yesterday's discussion of cycling dress clothes. Everyone knows of the importance of the little black dress as a dependable alternative for any occasion. Well, in cycling it is the bandanna.The bandanna can be used for any of the following: dew rag, neck wear, sweat band, bow tie, snot rag, grease rag, bandage, toilet paper in an extreme emergency (borrow your partner's), or if you have a severe injury on the road it can be used as a tourniquet. Please see Bill's demonstration picture with the tourniquet used in combination with the cycling pump.
Mick's picture provides a clear sense of how important the bandanna is for use as a headband.
That's all from the Old Land Cruisers, the cycling world's fashionistas.
I think the gas fumes have gotten to both of you or you don't have enough to do when you have a fairly easy day and you get to the motel early!! Your loving wife.
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for the gas fumes theory! We had a nice swim at your place yesterday - Lee told me you'd be jumping in and swimming down to the dam with us when you get back!
ReplyDeleteOr, you can just think about the 60 degree water temp when you're in the 90 degree Texas heat!
