It's great to finally be in Texas! On our way out of New Mexico, we stopped in a small border town called Clovis. There, a local western wear shop offered our team a discount on hats and boots. Almost all of us bought hats and we look pretty funny wearing them around. Also, we received free rides on the mechanical bull! It was pretty funny; a few guys were bucked off in only a few seconds. About ten miles later, we crossed into familiar territory, Texas! Our ride was mainly agricultural, and about 5 times after the border my paceline found itself sprinting at about 30mph because farm dogs kept viciously chasing us. We had several narrow escapes. When we arrived in Muleshoe, we were greeted at our lodging, a church family center, by the Jenny Slippers, our sponsor. They are a local women's club that sponsored our lunch and dinner. Both were excellent, but dinner was amazing...steaks! I couldn't tell you the last time I ate a steak. It was wonderful. Here are a few photos of the mechanical bull, our new hats, and the border!
