Live Blogging the 30th Annual Muenster Germanfest Bike Rally

10:20 - I got here way too early. I'm all suited up and ready to go but there's still 40 minutes until the start.

10:21- just noticed there's no 3G up here. So it really is like the days of the early German settlers when wireless broadband was in its infancy.

Beautiful day. Sunny a little windy and cool.

12:30- 19 miles in first rest stop. Good Christ it's windy. Just 40 more miles to beer.

12:31- I want to punch the cooz that corrected her husband who said "we at 20 miles?". And replied "18.9 actually "

2:00 second rest stop. 36 miles in 28 to go. The wind is beating me up.

2:45 Saint Jo rest stop in the town square.  Not much going on here.  Finally heading east to enjoy some tailwind.

3:26 Final rest stop.  Only 10 more miles.  Heading south back to Muenster for a not very enjoyable crosswind.

4:00 DONE!  Total time was 4:30.  Not very good.  But considering the strong wind, I’ll take it.  Next up The GASP (Greater Austin to Shiner Pedal).  Now on to my 2 free beers at the Germanfest.

Sorry. The cellphone network in far north Texas wasn't that strong and I had a hard time publishing after a certain point of the ride. I've updated the last few stops. Thank you for your patience.
