It's fun, of course, but I can't tell you why.
Whether it made sense or not, it certainly didn't harm the photography!
ReplyDeleteThere are some serious hills in the Austin area. I'd like to see the route you rode.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how still the water is.
Lovely.

Beautiful! Makes me miss the Austin area. Though we have some good hills around here, not too different from those. Different in other ways. Looks like a fun ride.
ReplyDeleteI'm gunna have to do that soon. I'd like to see the route too. Vicarious thrill are the cheapest thrills.
