Day 16 from Plateau to Fort Davis
We ended our journey at Fort Davis because of the steep elevation climbs; we were exhausted when we rolled into town. I will have more thoughts on this later.
We rode 71 miles and 4283 feet in bicycle elevation climb.
Today, we struggled with carrying enough water. We did see some beautiful sights, we were up to 6000 plus feet in elevation; this is the second time where I think the elevation affected my getting out of breath on the climbs. There was a lot of green in this part of Texas. Most of this ride was through the Davis Mountains Park; we went by the McDonald Observatory; we ate at the Fort Davis Drugstore for dinner- all you can eat buffet of hamburgers and chicken burgers; then we topped it off with ice cream.
Plan for day 17 is to ride Sanderson TX.
