Thanksgiving 2008 ride photos here.
My longest tour was a three day loop out of Austin. The first
day was Austin to Pedernales
Falls SP. This is a stop on one of
the back roads.
Second day stop was Blanco. On the third day the weather was turning and I headed back to Austin. This shot is at the top of the "divide" between Blanco and Dripping Springs.
My favorite riding area is around Lost Maples SP near
Vanderpool.
There's a great loop that runs from Vanderpool to Leakey then to Garner
SP and then to Utopia and back to Vanderpool. Here's the climb
out
of Vanderpool.
Yes, that is the road in the distance.
And here's one of the high points in the canyons between Vanderpool
and Leakey.
The climb from Leakey (actually Garner SP, south of Leakey) is almost
as much fun as the one out of Vanderpool.
Other great rides out of Vanderpool are east to Medina, and a big loop
Vanderpool to Medina to Bandera and back toward Utopia. There's
even
a ride to the north with an absolute killer climb to get on top of the
Edwards Plateau.
Here's the road north from Enchanted Rock SP toward Llano, there's a
great loop toward the east that goes through Willow City and back
to the park. The bluebonnets were knee high as far as you could
see.
Several great loops to the south through Fredricksburg, too!
Beautiful creek crossing about 15 miles from home. Even nicer
when there are leaves on the trees. This one was taken on an
overnighter
to Lake Georgetown.

Great loops out of Inks Lake SP, too. Where ARE those photos?
