The after-ride experience is normally a good one. There is the elation of completing the ride [safely] and sharing that reality with others. Yesterday seemed no different. Maria rode well for the second time on the bike—less time to complete the lap by about 4 minutes and at a higher average speed. We look forward to seeing what she does this fall. Having ridden the Vendetta some 50 miles or so, she has a few ergonomic suggestion for John. I and others get to talk to them about our observations and desires. The video captures some of that as my iPhone 4 stood on my tripod—no panning. You get a few close [non-static] looks at the Vendetta.

Pterosail ~ Marfa & Marathon, Texas Reply
I last reported John & Jenny at Van Horn, Texas. John then rode 74 miles to Marfa on Sunday, 07/18. He says:
Long trek through a very desolate area. Lots of wide open space. Most of the day there was a constant headwind coming from the SE. It made progress laborious. Although, for a couple of hours the wind changed and I was able to makeup some miles.
Monday, the ride was 57 miles to Marathon and then to Sanderson on Tuesday.
