Aside of that, we enjoyed seeing the animals as we rode. Some even saw some Alpaca! Of course, deer, armadillo and other small animals were "sleeping" on the road ~ no doubt dinner for the turkey buzzards.

4-1-15 Brackettville (Fort Clark Springs) to Camp Wood, TX 49 miles
The day was generally overcast, including a brief (and cooling) shower. The chip seal was especially rough, which is what we can expect for a while. My bike computer was not talking to my sensor, which means I won't have mph or odometer for the next two days of riding. In spite of Katie putting in two new batteries, that does not seem to be the problem. Looks like a trip to the bike shop in Fredericksburg is in order!

Tomorrow we ride up into Vanderpool, TX where we will be staying in cabins. Before arriving we will be riding some steep grades ~ 9-12%. Should be interesting...

NOW I see what chip seal is ... great close-up :) And it definitely looks awful to ride. Yum ... ice cream is the answer to every cycling problem! Okay ... maybe not flat tires, but nearly everything!
ReplyDeleteYou're too funny, Dawna! We sure appreciate it when we get to cross some bridges that are smooth concrete. It evokes an "ahh-h-h" response from everyone! We still have a ways to go before we get close to Louisiana where the chip seal ends, however. Ragbrai will be easy!
