Exploring Marfa, Texas: By Bicycle

[@ZenEndurance]

From what I understand, the problem with remodeling buildings in old downtowns is they are full of asbestos and it gets really expensive really quickly. I agree, they are very cool and we should figure out how to get it done.

[@GravelCyclist]

This makes perfect sense, thanks for chiming in.

[@RogerDebreceny]

One of my favorite places in the world!

I ran into you right after the Red Bull gravel ride.

[@GravelCyclist]

How did you like the event? I bagged it at two laps of three, but had a good time regardless. I only wish the event was closer to Marfa itself.

[@patrickdollah]

@@GravelCyclist it was a lot harder than I anticipated. I DNF due to the heat and not drinking enough water. Hopefully I can redeem myself.

[@GravelCyclist]

Don't beat yourself up about it. It hurt me as well. I was OK hydration wise, but lack of sleep (as usual) + dodgy legs = call it a day.

[@cdp930]

Did you get to see the Marfa lights??

[@GravelCyclist]

Unfortunately no, I was in Marfa for one night only, super early start in the morning to attend the Red Bull Rio Grande event. Bad weather killed my inbound flight which was my one opportunity to see said lights.

Yep, Jersey is full serve only.

[@GravelCyclist]

The first time I filled up Jersey, I was like dafuq, dude, why the heck do you want my credit card and so on? :)

[@JuggernautMTB]

@@GravelCyclist I totally understand. I grew up in NYC so when I moved to Jersey it took a second to get accustomed to it. Truth be told, I don’t miss the lingering smell of gasoline on my hands post fill-up. ☺️
