2000

Well today we surpassed 2000 miles.  We hit the road at 7:15 and got moving slow with a strong side wind but were steady.  The trip was flat except for a canyon that is apparently the 2nd largest in the states.  It was a pretty good climb but we took it in stride.  Soon after we stopped at a gas station and met some other touring cyclist, they have been riding around Texas since January and have done about 2000 miles as well.  We stopped to get some lunch but neither of our cards worked, luckily we had some cash.  We called and found out there was a hold put on Texas this morning do to fraud, so it was easy taken care of.  We decided then to call it a day at 2 since its 100 out and hit the koa outside of Amerillo, where the couple we met earlier was checking in.  They got a cabin and we intend to go visit and get in the cool.  I may update this later.
