Groom, TX to Erick, OK

Thursday 3 May 2018

Today's ride was from Groom, TX to Erick, OK

My initial plan for this ride was to only to Shamrock, OK.  But Wednesday I checked the weather and saw that I would have a tailwind most of the day and a head wind on Friday.  So I added the extra miles to Erick, OK.  The day started out with a very good breakfast at the only restaurant in town, The Grill.  The people were very friendly and the breakfast really hit the spot.

East of the town on of Groom is a water tower that looks like it is ready to tip over.  It was actually designed that way as a way to attract tourists.  The Britten Water Tower

More miles of flat Texas. 

the first non-pancake flat  landscape in a couple of days


An interesting museum.  lots of different types of fencing used over the century's



Shamrock Tower Station and U-Drop Inn Cafe Museum.

Murals in Shamrock 


Texas fixer-upper for sale.  Minimal repairs required. 

Entering Oklahoma 

Can I please go for a ride?

 The ride today was lots of fun.  Good tailwind, time to stop in a couple of museum's and lunch.
