Day 19

Comstock to Del Rio was 32 miles, but took most of a day to navigate the strong winds and the narrow or rough shoulders; when we arrived in Del Rio at 2:30 we got a hotel to unwind and resort our provisions and equipment; we decided to take Day 20 as a rest day. Danny the manager at the Best Western was accommodating for our bicycles and pool. On our rest day I received a haircut and shave.

If you look carefully, you can see the nearly mile long bridge I just crossed over the Amistad Lake/reservoir – across the bridge there was only access to about six inches of shoulder.

This is a picture of the rough shoulder that we rode to on most of Route 90 to Del Rio

The plan for Day 21 is to ride to Camp Wood.
