nise7ens blat to Midland

After San Angelo we had a fairly hot blat with our fellow nise7ens tourers, Johnty and Liz, to Midland. We did make numerous pitstops at Town and Country service stations to make use of the free refill offer for our new drinks containers which were handed out at San Angelo.

Big welcome at San Angelo

The Chamber of Commerce in San Angelo laid on a fabulous welcome for us when we arrived at their new Fine Art Museum. It was a welcome stop for drinks and an opportunity to meet more of the people we are touring with. As always we created a bit of a stir with the locals all wanting to know who we were, what the cars were and where we are going.

An early start

Pulling out onto the streets of Austin at 7.15am on Sunday morning we were greeted with empty roads and comfortable temperatures. We were traveling with jj, Stephen Davies, Chuck Spera and Des East as we hit the twisty section at the start of todays route. A few miles out and we come across Rob Grigsby being given the once over by the local sheriff, and then 2 minutes later Rob flies past us hot on Vinnies tail and just about gets the duratec slowed up for the red light just around the corner.
