Trans America Cycling Day 19 - Fort Davis, TX to Marathon, TX
The link to today's route and statistics is found here . Scenery in west Texas is brilliant. Out of Fort Davis we rode past Mitre Peak that rises to an elevation of 6190 ft. The Peak bears a resemblance to a bishop’s hat, thus the name. Very appropriate to ride by on Good Friday. Mitre Peak and the lone bush Several cyclists went to Mass today, because on Easter we will not be in a good location to attend Mass. Cyclists met a group of teenagers from El Paso doing missionary work in Marathon during Holy Week. Kristine, Ray, John, and Roberto interacted during the Good Friday service at Regnum Christi Missionary Family Apostolate at St. Mary Catholic Church in Marathon.

The temperature at the start was 45 F, and the wind was generally a crosswind during the day, up to maybe 15 mph. Ther
