Day 239 March 25, 2017 Brenham to Giddings, TX

My good friend, ADC, assures me that we are not in Texas hill country yet, and further fact checking proves him correct. Be that as it may, we climbed 970 feet today, most of it in the first 16 miles. They sure felt like hills.

The day started out with heavy traffic, and a short stint on a limited access section of US-290. After about 2.5 miles of that foolishness, we got on to Old Mill Creek Road.

Crossing US-290 on Old Mill Creek Road.


We were on Old Mill Creek Rd. for eleven miles, rolling hills and beautiful country.




Then back to US-290.


Even when riding on the highway, the surrounding country was just gorgeous. Bonus: riding on the highway meant there were no steep hills.





Margaret even tried a riding selfie.


Our next two days will also be short ones. Hotel spacing causes this.

Tomorrow we ride 33 miles into Elgin. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/19652434
