Our fastest and cleanest day with a fair bit of rain.
The ride from the border to Pecos was aweful. Lots of construction. Lots of trucks. Enough rain to be annoying. This north Texas oil fields area is not pretty or enjoyable in any way. Just something to get through and be done with. This area made me hate Texas.
But finally we finished.
Fast day with a moving average of 47.7 mph.
