Blanco- Bastrop Texas 93 miles Easter Sunday 4/4
Started out a rainy Easter morning with hills, cross winds, no shoulders and amazing amounts of fast moving traffic with lots of BIG pick up trucks.. I had figured on Easter Sunday these Texans would either be in church or at grandmas house eating baked ham, candied yams and Peeps. But they decided to go for a drive instead. Tough day but Lady Bird and her campaign to beautify Americas roadways made today all worth it. She must have started with Texas. Wildflowers everywhere along the road and exploding into nearby fields. What I could identify wild mustard, scarlet flax, primrose winecup,Indian paintbrush, blue bonnets and more-they were breathtaking.We thought chip/seal was a challenge- today we encountered “textured road surfaces” (imagine hard , bumpy corduroy going the same direction as the bike)- I think this was done to make us be thankful for chip/seal. Pam took a tumble on it- went to ER to clean abrasions but she is fine. Mike’s visiting friend brought champagne which we had with a poached salmon dinner with haricot vert, chard and a fava bean salad AND mashed potatoes for good measure. Is there a pattern in this blog of extreme food interest?!
Speaking of Pam ... She is the Queen of the Go Fast Girls-- first out first in. She loves hills, is bored with straightaways and is from Auburn, CA a land of hills (E and S - isn't Auburn our Starbucks stop on the way to Lake Tahoe?)
