San Antonio

We had a pretty boring 84 mile ride from Uvalde to San Antonio. When I say it was boring what I mean was that there were not many interesting sights, different than what we have seen over the last few days.

What was great was the wind was in our face. What's great about the wind in your face is the fact that you always see it coming. It also help you from going too fast, which cuts down on any possible errors in directions etc. It also ensures that you are going slow enough to see every bit of all the sights, which again are the same as the last couple of days.

In San Antonio we meet up with my niece Casey and her boyfriend Wes. It was great seeing Casey and meeting Wes. I had not seen Casey since she graduated from high school which was 13 years ago. We had diner at the San Antonio river walk and it was a very nice evening to sit outside. Amazingly, Casey looks just the same as she did 13 years ago. Me, not so much.

Items to note:

I've been asked about my blog entry where I said we made a mistake and ended in a part of El Paso that 2 guys in tights should not be in. The question was "what was it about this part of town?". Lets be honest, we have all, one time or another, been in a place where we didn't feel quite comfortable. When you wear this goofy biking stuff, that happens fairly often. I mean really, unless you, a friend or a family member cycles, these clothes are freaky looking. Anyway, lets just leave it at that.

In my next blog I'll explain the clothes to those non biking folks out there, but believe me it is NOT a fashon statement. When we finish riding each day we get out of these clothes as quickly as possible. (Okay, maybe Jake like to wear it around. Ha) I hope he doesn't read this.

All for now. Hoping for more head winds. It really is keeping us hunble.
