September 21, 2011 (Amarillo, Texas)

Photos from day 11, Clovis NM to Amarillo, TX. 111 miles with 1100 feet of climbing. Not a lot of climbing today, but oh, the wind! We had to ride in pace lines to get some relief from the brutal headwinds. Rode through a lot of cattle companies, and along the railroad for a good part of the distance.

Just crossing into Texas

 

Had to get a picture of this!! Welcome to Texas!

 

Rode by a few of these today!
