In Dallas

	Starting at the top: In the parts of Texas where we traveled it seemed most areas had Superior water systems. There were tasteful words describing those that were less than superior, but they've slipped my mind. Sons of Confederate Veterans - well, you can just bet I could run this one into the ground, but I'll just say that this stretch of highway was filthy! Unfortunately, after a couple days of riding we came to the realization that the shoulders of almost all Texas highways were filthy. We saw trash unlike any we've seen in any other state. Sorry, Texas! The orange warning signs behind me are for construction on the new President George Bush highway. Let's hope George and Barb will be out on its roadside doing a better job than the lame Sons of C.V. My equipment: on the rear of the bike is a Texas flag (also check here). On the seat post is a Terry Liberator men's saddle (don't waste your money, you'd rather have penile numbness than what this thing does to you). On the cranks are Wellgo SPD pedals. They're crappy, but are a red that matches the bike perfectly, so there! On the stem is the Moustache Handlebar available from Rivendell Bicycle Works.
