Trans America Cycling Day 24 - Camp Wood, TX to Ingram, TX
Today's ride was cancelled due to heavy rain, thunder and lightening, i.e. for safety purposes. Riding down the very steep descents would be very dangerous today in the heavy rain. In addition there is low lying ground in the ride past the climbing stages in which creeks and rivers flood the road and make travel impossible. Once there the only way to get to Ingram is to backtrack, which would be a very long journey. After the accident in Hatch, NM that took out one TAC truck and the TAC custom trailer and has left us with two remaining vehicles, the bicycle carrying capacity of the vehicles is a limiting factor in ferrying riders and their baggage and equipment. Rain at motel cancelled the ride today Sandbags by stores in Camp Wood !@#$%^&*()_+ Today's blog is from Tennessee Jim's personal blog from the 2017 TAC tour for the exact same route. You all would have enjoyed the ride very much and would have felt proud from mastering the steep climbs.
