haven't figured how to post pictures yet.

Today's ride from Kerrville to Bandera was a much shorter easier ride with the exception off the Eagle's Nest pass near Medina. Fortunately, although it was a 12 % grade, the raod was barely two lanes wide, and there were 4 or 5 hairpin turns, it was only about 1/2 a mile. The downhill was equally steep, narrow and curvy and a bit scary because I started hallucinating about "what if my brakes fail?" But the rest of the day was perfect, started out cold and clear in the 40's but was up to 60 by 10:00 AM and the headwinds were only at 5-10 mph. Gorgeous small country roads with ponds , creeks and moderate rools and not a cloud to be seen. Doesn't get much better than that.
