Day 12 of 17 Days of Texas. All I wanted to do was rest so I would be ready to ride the next segment and every mile after that to the Atlantic. When I signed up for the trip I just assumed it was everyone’s goal to ride across the country. It became quite clear to me over the last weeks that this was not an assumption made by many of my ride mates, they seemed to be quite happy to ride whenever it was convenient. I think the less they rode, the more determined I became to ride “every freakin’ inch” (EFI as it was known among the few who were riding every day.)
I got my laundry done and met Bob and Sig for lunch, I wanted cow and Bob had already checked into what was available, so it made picking easier. It was wonderful! Tasted soooo good, I would have eaten more if I could have finished what they gave me. Bob, Sig and I then walked some more of the Riverwalk and ended up at the Alamo. I was surprised it was right in town, I guess I just thought it was out in the open somewhere. After the very interesting tour I went back to the motel and tried to nap, mostly just laid there until it was time for my hour and half massage I had arranged with the help of the hotel staff. The massage place was in a big mall and I was early, so I had time to wander around before submerging myself into total relaxation.
Dinner was at another Riverwalk restaurant and like the night before, we had a view of the passing parade of people and a wonderful meal. I walked around afterward with Sig and then it was back to the room for lots of sleep. Tomorrow we’re back on our bikes again for another 9 days of riding in a row.
