After a very hard series of rides, with the wind continuing to blow from west of north or south (ie. basically against me) I got to Austin a day ahead of schedule, and used the day to go on a further 80 miles to Fredericksburg (just to get more mileage money in the bank..) About 1200 miles done, 1400 to go. Hmmm.
Kate flew out to Austin on Friday and we had a great time:
Yah!
Typical grassland
Cheery!
'Austin, Texas or Boston, Massachusetts?' (only remotely funny for puerile people like me who think 'Road trip' is a great movie.......... this is is the main tower of UT, Austin, Texas!
So, tomorrow, back into gear and on to West Texas. Freezing tonight!
Great to hear from you, thought you were on black ops! That bridge looks scary. Hope the weather improves for you. Nearly half way, it is all down hill from here, or maybe not! Take care and stay safe. Mark & Pip.

Lovely photos, especially of the two of you. Love the insights into Texan "democracy" as well. Keep on blogging as well as cycling - I can introduce you to a couple of literary agents for the TV mini-series. Much love from all of us Ks of Kingston
