Day 7: Riding to the light of the full Texas moon

Our last long ride was today from 6pm to midnight. The weather was perfect for cycling with no problems with rain, wind, or cold temperatures. We were able to bike in our shorts and jerseys for the whole time. We saw the sun set as we started the ride and the full moon lit up the roads for us the rest of the evening.

Along the way - we had to watch out for the many deer on the side of the road. We also met up with Maurice who allowed us to use his driveway for a rest stop. We chatted about what we were doing and he also joined us for a drink.

We completed 124k and handed off the baton to Team 4 before heading I to Bee Cave Texas by 3am. This is the location where all the team converge so that we can ride in together as a complete group on Friday morning.

We really can't ask for any better for our last long ride. It was dedicated to all those who use and benefit from the services offered by Wellspring.

Notice the unique art on the fence of our motel:



We found a great authentic Mexican restaurant in a small town along the way:






As each day progresses...so do the games, pranks, and dares between the teams. A great way to share the fun and keep the spirits up through the long time spent in the saddle and sleep deprivation:



And yes....the games included modification of cycling attire...
