Day 39 - Memphis, TX

Back to Texas! Keep in mind that this is Memphis, Texas and not Memphis, Tennessee. They are two very different towns, haha.

Our ride today took us on some very quiet roads through Oklahoma and back into Texas. Since I missed my picture at the state line into Oklahoma and wasn't feeling my best for the Texas one, i made up for it this time by getting both on opposite sides of the road!

Once again, I went mountain climbing during the ride day, this time up to a plateau with almost all of the guys in our group. While we had to brave some barbed wire (again), we were not ready for the crazy storm of bugs (flying fire ants?!?!) at the summit of the plateau. We didn't stay too long after they got riled up, haha.

For a change of scenery, we stayed in a town community center this night. While it may not have had showers, they did one better and took us to the town pool to swim and shower! I will never say no to a swim on a hot day! Following our showers, we had a delicious dinner provided by the host, then bicycle clinic and the Bike & Build host presentation. Before we all turned in after this long day, some of us including myself went for a tour in a historic Presbyterian Church across the street. The church is currently being renovated, but it is still quite gorgeous inside. When the pictures cone online, I'll let them speak for themselves.
