Fredericksburg to Austin - A long day 87 miles and 5000 foot of climbing

 We left Fredericksburg after what could have been a nice night’s sleep that was interrupted multiple times by the “Wiener schnitzels”, it’s off the menu - enough said.

We biked 37 miles to Johnson City, the birthplace of LBJ and arrived about 11am.  The town did not offer much and it was early so we added 50 miles and headed to Austin.  

The ride had many rolling hill but on average was downhill so the 50 miles was accomplished without too much effort. One flat along the way but no other issues.

My son Christopher arranged a hotel for us in Austin, an Extended Stay America.  The room is nice and two people that worked for him commented that they missed him and would like to see him.  It’s nice being the parent of a great adult.

Tomorrow we head east, no plan yet tonight (10:45pm), but we will come up with something…


Flat number 9 - a copper cut

Ranch along the way
Notice the water hazard behind Jim, a stream running over the road and slime, plus a 12% grade out of the slime
