Bastrop, Texas

Slept well under our big top tent last night. It stayed 70 degrees and no bugs. We fixed our coffee and instant oatmeal before heading out.
Rode 64 miles. Little wind and what there was was at out backs. Great riding day once again. Some hills especially in the beginning of the day but more at the end. I was wearing down this afternoon because I didn't find enough to eat along the way. The guys ate bakery cookies but I didn't want to fuel that way but nothing better came our way. I ran out of energy at 50 miles. Nothing to do but push on. Water was at a premium again so that was part of my energy problems. We found an RV park that let us set up tents behind the shower room. We all just lingered in that water today. No one can imagine how great a shower feels after being on the hot road. We were on the expressway for much of the afternoon. Traffic was heavy and fast!
After our laundry is finished we are calling a taxi to take us out for supper. Just can't fight that traffic again.
Tomorrow is Bob's birthday! We are riding into Austin and taking at least one day to see some sights. We'll take him out for dinner and we even hope to find a motel. Change of pace will feel good.
The four of us continue to enjoy one another's company.
Happy Birthday to my little brother Jack!
