Texas Rando Stampede 1200k (769.3 miles) in under 90 hours. Just a few thoughts about the Texas Stampede1200k. This was a great event, well run, well supported, loved having hotels for each of the overnights. I loved the route. It show cased the best of Texas. Wind , Rain , chipseal roads, hills lots of hills.More rain more wind( headwind both ways). I still loved the route, even though I have ridden some of the roads before. It was easier then I thought, and at the same time harder than I expected. For me the hardest part was not having Steve ridding with me.The easy part was riding.We rode a comfortable pace so I never taxed myself. The best part was riding with Daniel and SK. We rode almost ever mile toghther. Then all the nice people we met along the way. I only chicked one person. I was on my best behavior. I had another finisher tell me, she had never seen women recumbent riders before. That she was glad to see us out there with smiles on our faces . Riding strong finishing well. I'm sure SK will write a detailed report, but its all a blur for me of smiles and tears. Steve and I will be riding the High Country 1200k in July. Until thten more training miles.
