We got a very early start this morning and were making good time untill my tire decided to pick up some steel wire. After 20 minutes we were back on the road and soon after we were in Texas and being greeted by a yell from a guy in a ten gallon hat. By 1230 we were close to Beaumont and realized we needed to get on the interstate for a few miles to cross the river. The speed limit was 75 and luckily the shoulder was large but it was still quite a rush. We stopped at a bike shop and got some tubes (they didn't have good tires or a wheel). We then headed toward Don's and stopped halfway there at a deli where we killed time, ordered tires, and figured out tomorrow. When we got to Don's he was still at work so we did some work on our bikes. We are now in good shape and did 71 miles today. It has been nice catching up with Don tonight.
Tomorrow will be 90 ish miles to Jim and Sue's.
