Well as we went to leave Sunday I decided not to because the storm looked worse but ended up not being too bad. We ended up cleaning Phil's gutters, relaxing, then got recruited to help on a new patio of Phil's friend Rennea. It was their first time doing one and Charlie and I both have installed our share of patios, walkways, etc., so we got them all set up.
Today we got a fairly early start and made about 10 miles before we had issues. We both had some shifting issues, and I got a piece of glass in my tire. By lunch we had climbed some 2,000 feet of hills and rode 33 miles. We are both shocked at the hills we have encountered, who knew Texas was hilly. After another 1,600 feet and 41 miles we made it to Llano were the city campground is a buck a person (and the showers are on par with some of the $25 places). Tomorrow will be open for interpretation but hopefully our luck continues. Wednesday we should be with some of my cousins in San Angelo.
My Uncle Charlie and I will be biking across the southern USA Starting March 10th. Once reaching CA Charlie will stop but I will then continue north and back across the north. Below is a map that shows an idea of what our route will be, as we are planning it on the road. The map will have uploads of our track as we go. We will greatly appreciate any place to stay and any suggestions of places to visit. Thank you, Austin Fox
