Today we have a short, 57 mile ride to Marathon, TX. We will be rewarded with another rest day on Friday. We have the opportunity to visit Big Bend National Park.
The weather had turned much cooler today. We also are looking st some strong head winds. These conditions will make the ride a bit more challenging. We plan to leave a bit later today due to weather.
After two hours of fighting winds that reached 35 mph we made it to Alpine and the famous cinnamon rolls of the Bread and Breakfast Cafe. Many riders packed it in and sagged out. It was the most powerful head wind I'd ever ridden in.
This afternoon offers hope for some relief as we changed direction to head a bit more south. We will finish in Marathon near Big Bend National Park, a place I've never visited.
