but more importantly, you can find just about every type and style of brownie at the rest stops.\u00a0 Superb support apparently isn&#8217;t enough &#8211; Faith West always seems to have student&#8217;s moms baking all sorts of brownies.\u00a0 I understand that that was a brownie mishap, but it was resolved without ceremony and it went unreported (see Cheesy for details).<\/p>\n<p>There were several routes, but we chose to do the 55 mile route as we had time constraints and frankly &#8211; the wind was pretty brutal &#8211; 10-15mph steady with strong gusts.\u00a0 While we had some great stretches of north travel, the south and east travel was painful; but the fast rollers more than made up for it.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that you can all make a ride in the future, but if you can&#8217;t for God&#8217;s sake Keep on Pedaling.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"2013 Pedaling The Prairie \u2013 Hempstead, TX \u2013 24, 45, 55, 71 mile routes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.keeponpedaling.com\/?p=190\">Here is the related route map.<\/a><\/p>\n \n<!-- Start container 1 --><div id=\"wppa-modal-container-1\" class=\"wppa-modal-container\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:100000;\" data-wppa=\"yes\"><\/div><div id=\"wppa-container-wrapper-1\" class=\"aligncenter wppa-container-wrapper \" style=\"width:100%;clear:both;display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;padding:0;position:relative;\"><div id=\"wppa-container-1\" style=\"width:100%;\" class=\"wppa-container wppa-container-1 wppa-rev-9012001 wppa-prevrev-9011007 wppa-theme-9.0.12.001 wppa-api-9.0.12.001\"><svg id=\"wppa-ajax-spin-1\" class=\"wppa-ajax-spin uil-default\" width=\"120px\" height=\"120px\" viewBox=\"0 0 100 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid\" stroke=\"\" style=\"width:120px;
