Yesterday was a nice sunny day with the high reaching 17C,
it was a great riding temperature with the jackets on. The low for last night
was 2, so it is getting a little warmer over night.
We headed out about 10:30 to check out what they call “The 3
Sisters”. No, these are not about 3 good looking women. These are 3 roads, 335,336,337
about 25 miles west of the campground creating three sides of a circuit 90
miles long. This would have taken a couple of hours if it were straight but by
the time we were done hitting the curves, switchbacks, hills and valleys and
stopping for pictures we were done by 4:30. These roads were fantastic which
created great views and entertainment for us. Another bonus is there is very little
traffic.
In fact, Cathy took
so many pictures the camera battery went dead.
Another thing we have to keep in mind always is the distance
we are travelling and how our fuel is, as there are not many stations around.

One section of roadway indicated to watch for cows on the
road as there were no fences separating the road from the fields on either
side. We would come up to areas where the fences would end at the edge of the road
on both sides. The road would then have grill plates across them to stop the
cows from getting through (like the farmers have to prevent them from getting
out of their gates if opened).
We continue to see various animals on the ranches. Cathy thought she was on safari.

We then decided to go
over to Kerrville to p/u some groceries. By the time we got home it was 6:30
and dark with the temperature showing 10 on the bike. The cold didn’t bother us
as we brought along our heated vests and what we call wind pants which cuts the
wind.
We were pretty worn out from the fresh air and the work out
navigating the roads, spent the evening relaxing and talking about the day.
All for now...
