-I90 all the way, baby
-flat flat flat, smooth smooth smooth
-since we’re heading southwest, alot less headwind
-I got stopped by 2/undercover 5-0 + 1/marked car in Hondo, Texas. Apparently they were following me for about a mile around 7am this morning and watched/observed me BLOW 4 consecutive redlights in town. When the first car tried to pull me over, I wouldn’t acknowledge cuz I never saw a car with lights or decals, and kept going. By the time he hit the lights/siren, his partner had pulled up on the other side if me in an unmarked truck. They both hit the sirens and by the time I pulled over into a parking lot, there was a 3rd patrol car (this one actually looked like a cop car, haha). So the 1st guy gets out of his Chevy Lumina, and I thought that I was in an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger… black tight Levis, black cowboy hat, sheriff star badge, denim shirt, but he was like a fatter, balder Chuck Norris. He says “boy! What gives you the right to blow every single redlight in my town???”. I answered “sir, I didn’t see any redlights, it is too early, too dark, and I am too sleepy to notice anything!”. They looked at each other like I was a weirdo & alien. They took my ID, went back to the car & ran it, then came back with a lecture & warning. “these people/drivers around here aren’t expecting to see the likes of you on a bike, especially in the dark, on an interstate, do yourself a favor and either yield to the traffic laws like any other vehicle, or find another route to get to California, we don’t want to see that kind of recklessness around Hondo.” I stood there with puppydog eyes & remorse, awaiting my fate. “have a safe and lawful trip, and by the way we clocked you doing 30 through 4 consecutive intersections and noticed that you made absolutely NO attempt to stop let alone slow down, next time, don’t do that.”
-and with that, the 3/confused officers let me go
-I think that I ran another redlight about a mile later while leaving Hondo
-good day! Finished the 85mile ride in less than 4hrs, avg mph was around 22-25
-only 2/stops necessary = 1 for Monster, Marlboro, banana, bathroom, the other was to say hi to Texas cops!
-we actually arrived early enough to make breakfast at Holiday Inn! I had: 3/raisin bagels, 3/cinnamon rolls, 3/waffles, 3/bananas, 3/cigarettes… dunno why I chose 3, must’ve been a tribute to the 3/cops in Hondo?”

benitosan:Clocked in 90miles today en route to Raleigh, North Carolina… HORRIBLE routing by the management team, they lead us on a crazy, alleycat-style route while all we wanted to do was to get to our destination hotel & out of the heat. BAD day, I feel like shit right now, and there are still slot of other riders out there lost, hungry, and most importantly, hot & tired. I will definitely be yelling at whoever routed us today into the middle of nowhere, I only got lucky to find the end cuz I treat every stage like an alleycat/treasure hunt & I know how to navigate & I luckily have an iPhone… without one, people are going to be vulnerable & frustrated. DISAPPOINTED at our staff today. To top it all off, I am getting saddlesore, OH JOY
