Austin to Carlsbad, New Mexico

Riding into Texas

Riding Austin

 

Texas was full of great people, and we where shown excellent hospitality. Starting off with my cousin Chris who we stayed with in Austin. We had to buy some tires and pedals so we want to thank and recommend CyclEast and Mellow Johnny's cycle shops in Austin; you rock! Leaving the city of Austin a fellow cyclist; Pat; saw us looking at maps by the roadside and next thing we had sandwiches in hand and a "pilot" car navigating us to safe roads. What a send off! Much thanks Austin.

Temp's started dropping and fires started rocking...

Camp Spots Abound...

Explorations

The road goes on forever and the party never ends...

 Fredricksburg, TX to glue a tooth back in...were is that dentist office

Friends made over a Pint...Cheers Ladies!

 

Those ladies should be joining us any moment now right!?!

 Yes, we ran out of fuel, or should we say, Wal-Mart needs to pay full-time staff to better restock shelves.

 Cold Starts...Yeeeeha!

 I found myself in Texas!

 Crossing into New Mexico

Warmshowers delivers again!

We have now landed in Carlsbad...Thanks so much to the Leak family for hosting us! This is roughly our half way point of this inspiring journey. We are looking to explore the Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe National Parks then continue on through the badlands of the southwest. Riding has been smooth for much and a true challenge through some...great to have a friend to commiserate with over a well deserved beer. Much Love and may your explorations take you to some place wonderfully unexpected!
