Day 16
Day 16: Carson, TX to Amarillo, TX - 31 miles, 492 feet elevation
I woke up in the middle of nowhere Texas to a meteorological forecast of severe flash flooding. With 30 miles left until Amarillo and specifically to a nice warm hotel, I was ready to pedal my heart out to get back to civilization.
The weather held, for the most part, until the hour. Then, intermittenly the sky opened up and dumped on me. The streets quickly flooded, but I was home free. I made it to the hotel, took a shower, ordered a pizza and bought an entire bottle of the most perfect pizza wine, COS Frapatto. It was a cozy night. I made an appointment to have my bike disassembled and boxed up to ship back to California and went to sleep dreaming of bear hugs and puppy kisses.
