We rode 95 miles today, all along US 54. All things considered, this was likely our easiest ride of the trip so far as we were aided by a strong tail wind the entire trip. We completed the ride in about 5 1/2 hours of riding time.
We left the Hotel this morning at 8:30 am. The only food stop along the way was at the 30 mile mark, in Logan NM, which we did not utilize. We had enough food and water to make the entire trip, so it worked out okay.
We crossed into Texas at about the halfway point of our ride today. The town we are staying in tonight, Dalhart, has a population of 7000. All we saw coming into the town were cattle and stockyards. That pretty sums up this area.
Tomorrow we head toward Pampa Texas, although we might stop short of this destination depending on how we feel.

Wow, you guys are cranking. Keep it up! (But don’t forget to look around!) I also crossed into Texas today, well south (and west) of you. That tailwind was great! WAY better than the day before, fighting 50 mph winds and blowing clouds of dust! -Alex
You are now in God’s Country. Have a few Lone Star’s and a chicken fried steak before you all cross the Red River into Moblehoma.
