Day 40 - Amarillo, TX

Well, we did not get to Amarillo by morning... today's 107 mile ride was super long and was not helped by the rainstorm in the middle (during which most of us were "bonking", or having a physical and mental breakdown during the ride). I can't wait for our rest day in Amarillo tomorrow!

We made it through the ride finally, in no small part with the idea of having a day off tomorrow and that we caught a tailwind on the final leg of the ride, after second lunch. Sometimes certain foods really satisfy while we are on the road and in this case it was choosing to buy DQ for second lunch instead of the usual PBNJ (Peanut Butter, Nutella, and Jam). In the final legs of the trip, we passed a knockoff of Cadillac Ranch with combine harvesters instead of Cadillacs sticking in the ground, as well as a huge canyon that hopefully we will go hiking in tomorrow!

We had previously planned on going out tonight, but we are all quite tired... I think that I'll soon fall into a food coma from the wonderful dinner at a B&B alum's parents' house. Thank you, Edie, for the delicious tacos!
