Day 24: Monday, 3/30/15, Comstock, TX (65º at 6:30 am) to Brackettville, TX (78º at 3:30 pm) 74 miles, elevation changes: +1726/-1990.

Another day bouncing on the chip & seal on TX state route 90. Today we had a headwind of 5 – 10 mph all day. I left at 8:00am from Seminole Canyon State Park and arrived in Brackettville at Fort Clark Springs at 3:30 pm. It was hard work riding into the wind, but my legs and body are holding up well. The landscape continues to change from desert to a greener, tree covered landscape. We crossed over the Amistad Lake/Reservoir, a huge body of water. It is a dammed up body of water.

Highlights:

• Finishing up another challenging day riding against a headwind and on chip and seal bouncing along for many miles. I finished up excellently.
• Leading our Coast-to-Coast group over the half-mile bridge over the Amistad Reservoir/Lake. The local sheriff followed our procession to keep us safe.
• It was cloudy until about 2 pm keeping the temperature down in the low 70s, excellent riding temperature.

Here is the first sighting of a large body of water (excluding the Rio Grande River) since the Pacific Ocean on day one, the Amistad Reservoir/Lake.

Leading the C2C group over the bridge crossing the Amistad Reservoir/Lake. Taken through my fairing as we crossed.

Make it a great day!
