I had a nice ride from San Angelo to Brady Tx. While it was kind of chilly all day, the sun was out and I had a slight tail wind. The road seems to be improving as I get further east.
I also am almost out of West Texas! I talked to a lady at the Venison World in Some Small Town and she confirmed I am now in Central Texas. However, when I pulled into Brady, there was a bank called "West Central Texas Bank". So, I am kind of in west/central Texas limbo. I am shooting for a town called Spicewood tomorrow about 100 miles away. I have a friend who's mother lives there and has offered to let me stay the night. So, barring a strong headwind, I believe I can make it. (Entering hill country, and have heard that it is actually pretty difficult. We will see tomorrow.)
One of the highlights of today was when I came up on a Doe, a female deer, that was grazing on the side of the road. She was enjoying a ray of sun and didn't hear me, what I call myself, when I rolled up. I was able to get within about 15 feet of her--that really is not fa at all! I wanted to take a picture but my camera is in my handle bar bags and is secured by Velcro. Maybe I can sew a button on there or something---something that makes less noise when opened. I am sure it is not against the law. Anyways, I had some tea with my dinner at the BBQ joint across the street. I will say the food was only meh.
Finally, I want to thank my best buddy Adam Conn and his wife Alex for their donation to my cause. Thanks y'all!
