Sanderson TX to some where near Langtry TX
May 5, 2015
52 miles
Lightning storms, some severe have been predicted for the next several days. We are fortunate to be doing a supported ride, having the car to bail us out if needed. Yesterday we decided to stay two nights in Sanderson, as the next Motel was 90 miles and with the weather we felt it could be difficult to make before bad weather hit again. Not wanting to waste the day, we decided to take a little bite out of the next day. I rode 52 miles, just short of the town of Langtry. I was happy to have the short ride as the wind was still strong. Additionally the road surface I had ridden on for the last 8 miles of the ride was very rough. It was a new surface that looks like tar with 3/4 inch rock thrown on top.
Langtry is not really much of a town, it might have a population of 50 people. It did have a really nice museum. It was the Judge Roy Bean Museum and it also had a cactus garden. It was really amazing to find such a nice museum in the middle of now where Texas. We got back to our room by 3 pm. Some how time really seems to fly. Once we get done preparing our bikes for the next day, repairing, cleaning and tinkering it is time to go to bed. I went to bed this night knowing I needed to make peace with my friends the wind and the bumpy road.
