Sanderson to Marathon ..56 miles
The Sanderson to Marathon leg was about a 1 to 3 percent grade most of the way and I got tired of slogging along at 9 mph. We had a house reserved a half mile from the Gage Hotel--famous place around these parts. Turns out the house was half a mile from the Gage and another half mile up a road to rough for a pack mule.
We ended up at the Gage Hotel, Ron and my room cost $225...nice room but NO TV. Can you believe that? On Sunday no less, so no football. Talk about deprived...ride your ass off all week long and no football.
Marathon has yuppie written all over it. Everything nice and clean and very expensive. We ended up watching football in a bar down the street. Among other things they made a great Absolute martini and stir fried vegetables. Everyone except Jan floated out of the place after dinner.
After Marathon I'll be booking us in Motel 6.
