7.15.2010Today we had a pretty awesome ride from Abilene, a total of about 110 miles. The temperatures and winds were kind in the morning, but the pavement was miserable. Fortunately a bunch of Pi Alphas were sponsoring lunch, and cooked us some brots with sauerkraut by the side of the road to lift our spirits. Towards the end of the ride we ran into a nice family who flagged us down and gave us some freshly picked peaches from their fields. The day had started looking up.
Then we got to the DOCTOR PEPPER FACTORY! I was like a kid in a Dr. Pepper store. The owner said that we could sample anything they had in their cooler. Everything was made with real cane sugar, and came in glass bottles. I went on to sample a Frosty Pepper, which essentially was a vanilla frosty that tasted like Dr. Pepper. It tasted like malted happiness. I purchased a choice Dr. Pepper hat to commemorate the occasion.We’re headed into Fort Worth tomorrow to catch our first day off in a week. Hopefully we’ll get to that boot shop.
