We were up at 0500 and off to our departure point. To break up the routine of our team riding the whole distance, we decided to make the last 95kms into a time trial. It was just luck of the draw who got climbs on their 13km leg (full speed). Just my luck I got 3 climbs which slowed me down but still had an average of 36kms/
km. Everyone had fun with this as broke the daily routine of riding our leg with the entire team and we finished way faster than with a group. We arrived at a Church just out of Austin to a very nice reception. After all the teams arrived we departed for where the Lance Armstrong event will be held over the weekend in a full group ride of about 40 riders, escourted by police. I am tired and now looking forward to getting home. I had an incredible experience and met so many people who just came to our van with the lettering and gave their story or how cancer has affected their lives. I will check out Austin over the weekend as my flight home is not until 1430 Monday.
