Day 35 - Austin to Bastrop State Park

Today we start riding again. On paper it is a fairly short ride. The first part of the ride we were kind of winging it based on being off route at the hostel. The ride started with several fairly steep short climbs.

After awhile it settled down but had a lot of twists and turns through some highly variable farm roads.  

Note the lack of mountains in the background. Still a lot of up and down, but only short climbs.


Just before getting to Bastrop the route went on a very unused road. Which translated into getting chased by several dogs.

At Bastrop I met up with Jim and John who had taken a more direct route along one of the main highways.

In Bastrop I apparently pissed off one motorist because I didn't immediately get onto the off street bike path which was not only not clearly marked but looked a lot like a sidewalk.

We camped in Bastop State Park. The shower/bathroom there was brand new and by far the nicest camp shower facility we have seen on the trip.

An RV, across the ravine from where we camped with colorful rope lights.
