May the Course Be With You!

Pushing to get 80 miles back to back this past weekend I planned to ride 50 miles on Saturday and the same on Sunday.  On Saturday, the morning dawned cold and then turned into a beautiful day for the 13th annual Fort bend fundraiser for the school district sponsored by Schlumberger. The wind whipped after as it got to mid morning - The sky was a glorious blue as we rode through cattle farms with lots of wild flowers out along the roads. Almost didn't notice the severe wind :-)


Break Point 2 - May the Course Be With You!



It was largely a cool over cast day until about 10 am. Each of the break points were manned by school kids and they ha different themes with the opportunity to vote on the winning one at the end. Break Point 3 was perfect for Star Wars fans

You can see how strong the ind already was at 9 am. It was likely 10 plus mph gusting to 15.
Slow ride back against the wind for 15 miles..

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich for fuel.
