Day 12- Short and Sweet Report
September 21st, 2006We are now in Erick, Oklahoma with very difficult connections to the computer so I will make it short and sweet and let you enjoy lots of photos! The route was 117 miles and 2000 ft climbing with a whopping tailwind- hardly had to pedal the whole way from Amarillo to Erick! Ride was pretty boring until we got to Erick and then experienced the highlight of the trip with a visit to Annabelle and Harley in town at their ’shop’. They are amazing folks- they greeted our group with food and song and comedy- as they say it, they are America’s best redneck stop! Anyway, other people waiting to use this computer connection so I will leave you with photos… Sorry to be so short tonight- will try to explain more another night.

Crazy Harley and Annabelle at their shop in Erick, OK. They welcomed us warmly with food, song, and redneck humor. This visit was THE highlight of our trip!
