I am venturing out more in my bike riding. Yesterday and today, I went North and East of my house. My trips totalled 56.5 kilometers over three hours and fourty minutes.

Past the discarded compressed air tank.

Past the abandoned barn.

Past the unnamed grave marker.

Past the party balloon marker.

Past the related-to-corn hay.

Past the herd of moo-cows.

Past the horse ranch…

with the cute mailbox.

Past the horses with fences that they could jump over.

Past the dead plant shrine.

Past the weird painted gun road marker.

UPDATE: Part of Round Rock’s Outlaw Trail

Past the fenced in hay 4 sale.

Past houses on a multi-acre lot with a dump truck as the second vehicle.

Past cool front gates.

Past a weird house under construction that also sells landscaping materiel.

Past goats for sale that are now babys.

Past the Jonah Water S.U.D. water tower which is apparently part of Hutto.

Past the minature horse ranch.

Past a neat geodesic house.

Past a prison.

And past abandoned houses on empty fields.

And past a herd of sheep.

The only negative thing about it is that it takes an hour and a half to travel 26 kilometers. I have a slow bike, but I get a good workout.

Today, there was good news and bad news. The bad news was that I broke my kickstand (what kind of engineer drills a large hole at the top of something that holds a bike up??). The good news was that the road gods gave me a gift.
