On the way to Muenster and on the ride course there were remnants of tornado damage from a severe storm that went through the night before. Here are a couple pics of the damage.
Check out this uprooted tree...it must have been carried pretty far because I don't see the hole in the ground where it came from.
Canopies ripped off their frames at a car dealer.
This picture is not the best, but it is a barn and house with roofs partially torn off and debris spread over the property.
Today I feel good, although I can definitely tell I did a challenging 41 miles yesterday. Forty-one miles is not the farthest I've ridden this season either, but yesterday was by far the most challenging 41 miles I've ridden this season thanks to the hills and major wind. It was some great training.
Elizabeth (Epigirl) was supposed to do the rally yesterday too, but she got stuck in a major traffic jam on the way to Muenster from Fort Worth and was late so she just tooled around town with her friend on their bikes. I had forgotten my cell phone, so I went the whole rally wondering where in the heck she was. When I finished I found her at the local biergarden enjoying a fine brew!
All in all, it wasn't my favorite rally, but I'd do it again (in hopes the weather would be better). Maybe next year I'll be able to get the 100k in!
I'll try to post some group pics that were taken on a friend's camera once I receive them. That's all for now...
