Just got back from the Texas Gulf Coast, Galveston to Corpus Christi. Was my first credit card tour. Did it with a buddy. Scenery from white sand beaches to miles of flat, black, Texas farm land. Lots of @#$@ chip seal, couple days significant head wind, several 'challenging' bridges, one crash, one ejection from a freeway. Warm weather of course, with just enough rain to make it more interesting. Being wimps, we waited out the rain in a plush motel.

All tours are fun and memorable. So was this one. Won't be any more credit card tours. Way too expensive.(Bags full just in case we ran out of motels.)

I did learn something new. I can pedal my Tour Easy bent much faster than I could pedal my DF, plus it is more aerodynamic. Could tease my riding buddy on his DF by dropping back and than speeding ahead of him. Couldn't do that before the TE.
