Rockdale to Bryan, TX  (Mon 10/19) 53 miles  12.5 mph  8:30 to 1:30

Not on same schedule-all in bed by 9:00 pm & at bkft @ 6:00 am! Woke at 7:00, packed-ate Tx shaped waffle. I’m ready to leave-they are still packing. 52 & cool, 2 shirts & long pants.  Stop at Hearn @ McD for bathroom-they’re in sun, Kory is biking around (needs to keep moving). I sit in shade eating nuts & taking pictures of butterfly. Rd & shoulder are terrible. Kory, M.R. ahead, I follow Karen at slower pace-suites me fine. I want to stop-Karen shows no signs of slowing. Traffic, trucks, bumper strip, narrow, gravel strip to bike on. Finally get to Bryan & fancy Best Western. Sit in hot tub, eat at IHOP-have 4 glasses of sweet tea-they drink water. Going to have more rest stops tomorrow.
