Kory, Karen, me, Mary Ruth Day 3

Group picture  in lobby w /hotel manager. Good rd to start. 25 m stop for ch milk & donuts. Kory leaves us again-not sure she likes breaks. Very good leader-drank 4 bottles of water-I never finish 1. Now narrow rd w/bumper strips again. Have some down hills. Stop for animal picture-cross rd-horse comes to fence to be petted & have picture taken. Now way behind. Mary Ruth’s next door neighbor sees her biking down rd. & lost her water bottle. Karen W was in lead for 1st time & terrified-not sure where to go. Just like me!  Good day-cool but not cold to start. At LaQuinta tonight-2 full size beds-Karen & I each have our little space. Good meal at Bandera. No tv tonight-all in room being very social.

Chocolate milk & donuts-my favorite energy food

My new friend-can’t believe he came to fence☺
