STAGE 9 CEDAR PARK TO THE CAPITAL OF TX
Theresa and Emily shuttled me to Cedar Park to start the final stage.
Before I speak of my ride, I must tell you about last night. Theresa found the promoter of the concert and spoke to Big Joe about my ride. Just prior to Rik Trevino coming on stage, Big Joe thanked all the sponsors for the concert and then preceded to tell everyone that they had another special guest here from Red River. He spoke of the ride and I got a very nice applause as I took off my hat and waved to the crowd. What a nice reception.
Due to not taking yesterday off, my ride today was only 38 miles and 1 hour 30 minutes.
I rode down highway 183 to Mopac then took Mopac to Caesar Chavez. The ride was a little uncomfortable due to heavy and fast traffic but it is exactly what I expected. The fast and the furious. I took a left on Congress and I saw the Capital towering at the end of the street. I stopped about 5 blocks before and reflected on the ride and my accomplishment before riding to the finish. I was excited yet sad that it has come to an end. It was an awesome trip and if you are reading this, I want to thank you for taking the time to keep up with me and the interesting happenings that occurred along the way. I rode up to the steps of the Capital and Theresa and Emily took photos as a last hurrah. Tonight is the first night I feel tired, I guess because I have nothing left to do tomorrow but rest. I will go for a ride tomorrow but I know it will be different in many ways. The state police referred me to some phone numbers to call first thing in the morning the get in touch with Governor Rick Perry. I will keep you updated. Tonight and for the next week, we will be staying with my stepdaughter and son in law and my two beautiful grand sons. Emily is leaving tomorrow to head back to Red River as Theresa and I wait for the Ride for the Roses next weekend. I will keep you posted on any updates this week.
Live Strong, Ride On, and Goodnight.
