Monday, April 18, 2011 Austin to Smithville 49 miles I was wishy washy about getting on the road this morning, but I finally committed and said goodbye to Amy. We corralled Mr. Cat for a picture. Amy and Mr. Cat, the snow leopard of cats. Larry, her other cat was nowhere to be seen. Her […]
Sunday, April 17, 2011 Austin 7 miles around town I got up and did some yoga this morning. It’s been so many days off the bike, I’m getting a little worried about just seizing up! Amy and Tim made a delicious breakfast of breakfast tacos, which presented a regional variation on Mexican food. In San […]
Saturday, April 16, 2011 San Antonio to Austin, by car I didn’t expect Austin to have so much traffic. I’d definitely heard it described such that the description “Berkeley of Texas” fit, but I always imagined it as more of an idyllic, smaller, western place. But it’s actually a major city.

My odometer was still working sporadically, as it wasn’t affixed quite right and would fall out of place, which also tended to cause an irritating knocking sound with each rotation. Everyone remembered […]

Monday, April 11 Lordsburg to Separ 20 miles on the bike After all that figuring, I got an email from my cousin Amy, and much of the Bowman family is gathering in Austin to help her move this weekend. That motivated me to get to Texas on the Thursday train rather than Saturday. So I […]

Sunday, April 10, 2011 Duncan to Lordsburg, AZ 36 miles per google maps The last check of weather reports before I left no longer said anything about gusts up to 40 mph, so it seemed like the worst of the winds had passed for now. Still, I left at 6am, because it tends to be […]
