BURNET to LLANO, TX 42 MILES (4/25-TUES) LLANO GOLF-8 MILES

Up at 6:16, bkft waffles & fruit. Out at 7:00-cool 62 degrees. Short ride on 29-now on scenic ride around Lake Buchanan pass Inks Lake National Park. Both sides of rd dotted w/sea of red, yellow, blue, white wild flowers-beautiful. Very little traffic. 10:30-stop to eat-have BBQ sandwich-ARMAND gets  MM’S & Reeses Pieces.  Still have hills, but now headwind-slow going for me. Get to Llano @ 12:30-more tired than yesterday. At Best Western, manager says other bikers staying here too.  Bath, rest-now ready for golf. Bike to Llano Golf Course-4 m. $76 for golf & club rental. It’s hot-88-only ones playing.  Now hungry-TX wants Mexican food. See 2 bikes outside-end up eating w/Judy & Chris from Amherst, NH.  They flew from NH to Austin & are doing our same ride but in reverse. Very similar to us-have done rides all over US & Europe. Found out our ride to Fredericksburg is 50 miles-NOT the 30 m ride my leader had promised. Also told us to take food-NO place to get anything until you get to town.  All bike back to BW. Oh, oh-have flat tire-walk 1/2 m back to hotel. Fix flat-take another bath. Write blog-other one eats candy.
