Day 30. We decided to crank out some miles today as tomorrow there is supposed to be rain and thunderstorms. The mileage was 104.8 with 4,779 feet of climbing. A tiring day, but overall a nice ride.
In the morning we started out of the park, and while the hills were steep - very steep. Still, there were some great views.
Overall, the hills were pretty much gone now. The rides on the back roads were still a bit busy, but nice rides.
We did see the first oil well though.
And, we saw several places they were creating places where they were mining fracking.
We had lunch in Gay Hills, and there were at least 10+ places where "antiques" were sold. Very "interesting".
We did stop at a Baptist Church to take a break and get some water. There was really no place to sit, and the water was "funny". So, we just took a rest and headed out.
At the end of the ride, we were casting some shadows ahead, and we got to where we stayed just before the sun set. A long but satisfying day to ride!
Tomorrow we plan to start early as there are thunderstorms predicted for the afternoon.
On we go earlier!
