The ride was pretty nice. We rode on empty roads through farm land and a lot of horse country. We saw lots of pecan groves and really beautiful horses. We had been warned about El Paso traffic but because we were early on a Sunday morning we were pretty lucky.
Much to our disappointment there was no "Welcome to Texas" sign. Considering we are here for the next three weeks I thought there would be more. At San Jacinto Plaza we tried to take a photo of the Texas flag but as you can see the wind did not cooperate.
Today at dinner we will celebrate our new state line crossing. It is hard to believe that we now have ridden from the Pacific Ocean, across California, Arizona and now New Mexico. I have ridden a total of 861 miles.

I am very impressed! You are now in Texas. It is hard to believe that you have already gone through 3 states. It seems like not that long ago you were dipping you wheels in the ocean. I am proud of you!
Don't worry about seeing no sign for Welcome to Texas! There is a great one on the other end of the state in THREE weeks!! Watch for it as you cross the next state line! Our group all used that one!
WELCOME TO TEXAS!!!
See you soon, genie
Fourth state!! Pretty impressive. I look forward to your updates and will see about that package.

Congratulations on your fourth state and over 800 miles! Wow! Just think-you are almost half way there! Amazing.
Don't you just HATE to see flags whipping in the wind like that when you know you are going to be on a bike? Glad you got through it. Thanks for the update!
I am going to look for Greg on Sunday at the race....
Wow, fourth state already!! I am very impressed. Enjoy the lone star state today, tomorrow, next week, etc!
