The Ride - May 4

Today was a rest day.  HOORAY for Rest Days!

Mona cooked breakfast at about 9am and most of us slept in.  I got caught up on my Blogs.  Most were written I just didn't have a good connection in order to upload them. 

We are staying at the Prude Ranch just outside of Fort Davis, TX.  Prude Ranch has been operated by the Prude family for over 100 years.

We have seen deer and wild turkey run free through the ranch today.

Bill drove about 400 miles round trip to El Paso today to pick up Ed.  Ed will take over as SAG driver when Bill heads home in a couple of days.  Thanks Bill for gettin up "early" and driving to get Ed.  Also, thanks for the three weeks you have spent providing us SAG - filling our water bottles, making our PB sandwiches, offering encouragement and direction.  We could not have gotten this far without your help.  I'm sure you were bored at times waiting on us but thanks for not falling asleep and forgetting about us. :)

Once Bill and Ed got back to town we had pizza at Murphy's  They had a tree growing throw the dining room roof.

After lunch we came back and just vegged all day.  Niiiice.  Here is some of the Team vegging


Tomorrow we head to Kent, TX.  We are only scheduled to ride about 50 miles as there are about 20ish miles of challenging terrain.  We hope to be strong and be able to ride an additional 20ish miles or if we are feeling really well, ride an extra 36 miles into  VanHorn where we will spend the night.

Take care all.  We will be in Arizona in less than 7 days!
