"An early rise to an early start gets the best of roads and weather"
-Sizer, based on the early worm.
After hitting the alarm once I got up around 0615 and out of the house before 7. I made my typical route to Gruene with a thought about people driving cars. "If there's two lanes in the same direction and one is occupied, are car drivers educated to simply go into the TOTALLY EMPTY LANE?" Just a thought.
Anyway, after riding through Gruene, I came out on Hunter Road which goes all the way to San Marcos. An ok to crappy to ok to finally a really nice road. Few other cyclist were on the route I was riding but were all going opposite me. From Hunter & Wonder World in San Marcos, a right turn took me under I 35 and to Hwy 123. This was mostly a nice road that led me to Seguin and most of the photos I took today. I saw a small white church off to my right then my next right turn onto Cordova Road. Just after that turn I was able to go into a small historic area with the donated buildings pictured. Back on Cordova this two lane decent road took me to Hwy 46 then back under I35 to Gruene and back home. This ride was about 61 miles in total which was what I planned. Mostly these Road either had 2 lanes in both directions or one lane in either direction with a good shoulder. A few places had no shoulder or 2nd same directing lane but those spots had very little traffic. I only consumed one protein bar and one bottle of water during this ride because I filled up just fine last night. With the temp right around 70 when I started, I just didn't have the need to go through bottle after bottle of water. But? If I had a riding partner I would have stopped for food, water and a potty break. Most of the climbs on this route were gradual and the descents were the same. A better sweeping of the road sides would have made it better but other than company that's about it. I hope everyone gets out and enjoys this great day. Be blessed and RIDE ON!
