Camp Wood- Vanderpool
Weds. 3/31 39 miles
Well they don’t call it Texas Hill Country for no reason. Short but hilly day 10 to 15% grades -long pulls and short & steeps (I’m getting the biking lingo huh?) It all seems gruellingly uphill and white knuckling downhill but truly a beautiful day. This part of Texas is gorgeous- dozens of shades of spring green, yellow and chartreuse all over the hills. Flowering and aromatic mountain laurel everywhere. A breezy 75 degree day- a fine day to be on a bike. We pulled into the Fox Fire Cabins along the Sabinal River-rustic little place. Who knew Texas had so much water!
Foo, Tony and Jack arrive today in San Antonio and we meet along the road tomorrow-yeah!
On to another fearless rider Suzanne from Boulder who rides with panache and style (look at those knee socks!) on her Bike Friday. She did the 2000 Around the World Bike Tour so this is a piece of cake!
