too bad kevin isn't riding through texas. years ago on the Adventure Cycling Southern Tier route, which used to pass through El Paso, BTW, maybe it still does, i enjoyed by trip through Texas. over to marathon, past McDonald observatory, to del rio and through the hill country, with a loooong downhill along the Guadalupe River. very nice.

east Texas? not so good, but it was mainly due to the poor roads. which suffered primarily by a too coarse aggregate in the the chip seal.
