Blanco TX to Lockhart TX

 Saturday April 8th

Last night I got a text from our ex-across the street neighbors from Canandaigua.  They had moved to Austin 7 years ago, and were going to come down to Lockhart this afternoon to visit.  

Tony and Erika Aiello at Blacks Barbecue in Lockhart.  Good friends and a good barbecue meal. 

Today was a good ride, winds ok, traffic along several roads was heavy and not very friendly.  Quite a few Texas pickup trucks threatened many of us, horns blowing obscenities uttered.  This coming Friday we will ride into Louisiana and Texas will be history. Mileage today was 62.04, average speed 14 mph, 2,037 feet climbed and 2,269 calories burned.  We are staying at a nice, but small State Park on the outskirts of Lockhart.

    How is Erika? She looks healthy and happy. I forgot she was a neighbor to neighbor.
