Huge headwind day with 10–20 mph winds coming at me for 65 plus miles and I was on my own pretty much all day. I had a cleat fall at the first SAG and fell on my left side. Only first 60 miles were very remote. A very cool roll out all day with high near El Paso of 65 or so. Crossed the Rio Grande and passed the State Line BBQ. This was another hard day. Shorter day tomorrow.

Hello.

I'm Tres Smith, and this is my journal of my bike ride across America in the spring of 2016. I'm blogging the adventure using only a cell phone, so please excuse typos, grammar, etc. You can read more about this project, and the people who helped me here:
