Flying colors of orange and yellow...

With a bright and shining sun rising above us, we set out on our 106ish mile bike ride from Guadalupe Mountains National Park to Kermit and our stopping place- First Baptist Church.  A number of us were proudly wearing our orange and yellow bike across Texas t shirts and jumped at the chance (at any stops we made) to tell people about our adventure.  Once again Bob and Joel set the vibe for the day with a ten mile stint in less than thirty minutes.  Dr. Patterson followed with the next few miles and Brandon, Josh, and JT rode consecutively after him.  Rebekah and I biked the last few rough hills before we came to more of a plateau.  All in all we whipped out the 100+ miles in about six hours and are all safe and already set up for the evening at the church.  Josh called the local newspaper and we did an interview with one of the journalists.  Then we all took much needed showers and ate some awesome fajitas that Rebekah and I made (that's not bragging...it's truth :) We will be wrapping up the night in the next few hours with Andrews and beyond as our destination for tomorrow.
