On the way from the Shepherd Sanctuary to Silsbee, TX, I surpassed the 2000 mile mark for miles traveled on my bike. Incredible! I’m about 2/3rds done with this trip and have about 3 weeks to go. Looking forward to what is still to come.

About 20 miles into the ride, I saw some of our bikers at the Doughnut Express. I joined them and had a kolache. It seems there are so many different ways to make a kolache. This one had a small link sausage inside and the pastry tasted like a super soft croissant. Pretty tasty after riding 20 miles.

After that stop, I was on a mission to get to a sports bar to see the Packers. So I rode hard and didn’t take pictures along the way. As advertised, the ride was very flat and generally lined with large trees. There wasn’t much that attracted my attention today.

At noon, I was able to listen to the Packers on Sirius radio through my phone. At the start of the second half I arrived at Phil’s sports bar. It was not my vision of a sports bar. They did have two TVs and they were both playing the Houston Texans game. I couldn’t get the Packers on YouTube through my phone, so I just followed the game on my app. Well the game didn’t turn out good, but I enjoyed my time at Phil’s with Chris, Dana, and Felix. We had a few beers and microwave popcorn (3 bags), because that was the best food they had!

After the game, we rode the last 5 miles to camp and enjoyed a Caesar Salad with blackened salmon made by Mark and Togan, much better than Phil’s bar!!!
