Bikepacking to Argentina : Texas Desert

Seriously, when it's 45c out and the wind feels makes it feel like you are in an air fryer it's not fun. Then factor in the fact there are trees few and far between. Shade is an elusive resource.
All the more so when your going to spend the next 20 minutes trying to fix your tube. Spending your precious water, looking for that micro hole. The second one of the day.

This stretch of road has been frustrating to no end. Forever.
All thats about to end though. I found a pretty cool trucker and he is going to give me a ride west to Cali. Where will say bye to the states and finally start the Baja Divide part of my journey.
You know the hot part of Mexico, during the hottest time... My timing is excellent.

Great visual storytelling. Love the honesty in the heat - 45 degree furnace on the road ... time to find the shade. Look forward to the coast.

It's tough but you are managing. Hat's off to you.

If you get a new tire, schwalbe makes the Pick Ups in a 20 inch version. Great tire for puncture protection.

The drone shots are stunning. Thank you for sharing

Way to keep up spirits. Texas is brutal on bike tires!

Your video is beautiful; I really loved all the cinematic scenes. West Texas and the southwest desert areas have a certain beauty to them, and you perfectly captured it! I am subscribing and following you now. Any time the air temperature exceeds your core temperature, the breeze won't cool you off. In fact, prolonged exposure to hot air has the reverse effect of heating you up even further than no breeze at all. It's the exact opposite of wind chill—it's a wind oven. That's why it is better for motorcyclists to use full leather at high temperatures, as the high relative wind generated by motorcycles can be deadly. But most people don't believe that and think on hot days you should ride in shorts and a T-shirt...

look so good

Consider Schwalbe Marathon series tires if you do not like getting flats! I have used them for years without a single puncture driving over broken glass in the city.

I don't know if you tour with a rear view mirror but if you ride out in the road (when its clear) the automobiles squash thorns out in the road leaving you a puncture free path.

Do you have to have the trailer registered, nr plate ?
