VERY excited to be cycling through Langtry, TX tomorrow, former judicial precinct of that great American peace officer and Justice, Judge Roy Bean. The "Law West of the Pecos", the honorable judge founded and ran the Jersey Lilly, both courthouse and saloon. My only " knowledge" of the story is from the movie staring Paul Newman. I saw it with Mike Viana in the 1970s, and we had a great time reenacting the scenes for many years. Mike will be with me in spirit tomorrow as I learn the rest of the story.
We had a nice 81 mile ride into camp today. The first 30 miles were a gift due to the cool air and high tail winds. Later, the wind shifted to a head wind and we encountered miles of rolling hills.
We had a nice visit in Langtry, TX as we visited the Jersey Lilly and the home of Judge Roy Bean.
See Facebook for photos.
