Today's ride was noteworthy in that it was the second day in a row for a 90 mile ride. I was driving the SAG vehicle today, and missed the thrill of getting lots of taliwinds to help move me along the road. My seat was glad to get the break from the saddle.
The other noteworthy thing was that our van broke down in the hotel parking lot this morning, giving us all lots of opportunities to beocme very flexible and adjust. The problem was that the starter motor had to be replaced, and finding someone who could do that on a Sunday morning was a dilemma. Apparently, the mechanic who answered the call was in church when he found out he was needed. He came and got the van repaired. Meanwhile, an alternate plan had already been worked out of Arda's husband (who is on the road and was in Navasota) coming and pulling the trailer into our hotel for tonight so that our luggage would arrive, and we could get cleaned up after a day of biking.
What it meant for me was that I was the only one out on the road with all of our bikers. Fortunately, the day was fairly uneventful, and most riders made it in within good time. Tonight we are going out to eat at a nearby restaurant since our cook hasn't been able to prepare a meal in the trailer today. Tomorrow's another day, and hopefully it will be uneventful.
