From the Stoker: I can't believe the beautiful weather we are having day after day. We left Lockhart on Farm Road 20 and biked 27.5 to Bastrop, TX. We needed a short day to have time for normal every day chores (laundry, shopping, paying bills, changing bike tires, etc.). We are still in the "hill country", still biking through a lush green country side and ranch land, over many hills, still on 2 lane roads with no shoulders, and enjoying more and more wildflowers every mile. The traffic was a little better but still pretty heavy. That makes for a stressful day, especially for the Captain, so the short day was a blessing.
We would like to thank the Bastrop RV Park, 512-321-4404, for their generous support to our cause.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. It's going to be hard to get many miles in if I have to stop so often to take photos. The meadow full of blue flowers are "Texas Blue Bonnets" and we feel fortunate to be traveling thru this part of Texas during blooming time.
Wow! The wildflowers are so beautiful! I suppose pictures don't really do them justice - do we thank Lady Bird Johnson for wild flowers all over Texas? Ha! Ha!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem like the Texas law is to helpful to bikers, does it?
Stay safe.
Love, Barb & John
