Hello friends and family...We had a great time in San Antonio with Jaime. We toured The Alamo, Mission San Jose and Mission of Concepcion. We got caught in a rain storm and got sopping wet. But, we still had a great time. And of course, never tired of walking along The Riverwalk..On The Road Again!!!! Yes, it was time to part ways again. Jaime went home and we left for Austin. We had a great visit and he really enjoyed hearing all our stories. It was a beautiful ride once we got out of the big city by car...Then onto our farm to market roads. We have been anything but bored in Texas. So, to all who told us, flat, boring and very long road thru Texas. We say, try the little farm roads. They are absolutely beautiful. Today, it was alot greener and Lety, the bluebonnets are blooming everywhere out here now.
Well as soon as we arrived in Austin, we headed for Mellow Johnny's bike shop. That is Lance Armstrongs shop. It was a dream come true for us Roadies...Locker rooms and showers, so you could start or end a ride there. Then downstairs a virtual training room. With pro cyclist trainers. And of course, a gazillion jerserys and bike wear to choose from...And to top is all off, we learn that Lance was in the store earlier and we missed him...:( And did I mention the collection of Lance's bikes?? Including the one we just saw him riding in The Tour of California.. It was a great way to end our ride into Austin...
Well, hasta manana, or maybe not. We may be in the boonies again from what I hear.
Tailwinds,
Malena
The Pic's: The Alamo
Lance's bikes, the bottom one is the one from Amgen Tour of Ca.
The center one is the one he crashed in recently
The top one was a gift from an urban artist, it looks rusty and old
