Trip - Day 2
Our second day kicks off at around 7am. It takes little more than an hour to pack, make a cup of "instant" joe, mount up and take a short drive across the Texas-New Mexico border to the nearest town of Clayton. We fill up on fuel where and locate a small cafe with a drive-thru (the only places open at the moment) to grab a quick bite. With COVID having closed all but the essential businesses we resort to sitting curb-side and chomp down our chow only to realize that one breakfast sandwich wasn't enough. Chris heads back to the drive-thru for a second round while I load the day's route into my GPS. Before long our bellies are full and bladders are empty so we turn the bikes north and head for the first real section of gravel road. The path we travel skirts alongside Clayton Lake which, while closed for camping, provides an early morning photo-op and a restroom break.
