A cold but good start to L5. It was raining lightly in Houston when Beth and Brian picked me up at my hotel. Back home it was subfreezing for the umpteenth day in a row. In Houston, temps were around 40, down right balmy I’ld say.
All three of us put our bikes together without any issues. ‘Its a miracle’ or the last leg was recent enough that we could remember the little tricks needed to assemble the bikes. We left the hotel Beth and Brian stayed in last night in Navasota around noon under partly sunny skies. That’s what fooled us. The sun went away and it got colder and colder as we rode the 42 miles which was today’s distance. We didn’t stop for lunch. We just wanted to get to our hotel and take a warm shower. On the plus side, average speed was 16.3 mph and very smooth road surface.
Figuring out tomorrow’s route in Beth’s room with our usual post ride beer(s). Thanks Beth for always having a few cold brewskies at the end of each day’s ride.
