Dripping Springs TX to Cedar Creek TX
May 10, 2015
50 miles
It would have been easy to wake up this morning in Austin, take today off and ride to Cedar Creek on Monday. I wanted to get through Austin on a nice quiet Sunday morning. Waiting for a day would have put me in Monday traffic and Severe Thunderstorms were forecasted for Monday. We got up early drove to Dripping Springs where Royce dropped me and I started pedaling. Royce headed for Cedar Creek, where he would get on his bike and ride toward me.It was a nice morning and the traffic was light. The wind was shifting between my side and back. I like that kind of wind. Before I knew it, I was on the outskirts of Austin. My route took me through several housing developments. People were out jogging,cycling and walking their dogs. I waved to everyone as I went by, acting like a local Texan. This is another advantage of touring supported. I do not stand out as the touring cyclist and I can move a little faster if I want to or mostly need to. Before I knew it again I was on the other end of Austin passing by the airport and 15 miles out from Cedar Creek. I soon met up with Royce and we rode through farmland on our way to Cedar Creek. We were back to the car by 11 am. We had pre planned to seek out some brunch and get the bikes worked on after the ride. Back into Austin we stopped at the bike shop. I had to have my chain replaced and brake pads as well. Royce had an adjustment to his shifting. We walked to a trendy area of Austin and had some yummy sushi. It was a great ride day and our bikes were good to go again.
