This is our hotel in Rosarita Beach the day before the Tour began. that first afternoon before dinner I met Ed Stiles at the bar. He was a retired walking route postman from the Seattle, WA area. He had been retired for about five years and had done some other bicycle tours and recommended the Transtexas Tour that he had just done. Since he was 70+ years old and everyone else on this tour was in their 20s or maybe early 30s he and I struck up a friendship that lasted until his death about 10 years later.
