New Year's Day Ride

Our traditional January 1 ride this year took Lee, Tom, and me on some very small backroads near Fredericksburg, Texas.



The first of the small roads I'd mapped was SO small that it was no longer a public road. Lee rode up the driveway, and saw that it was now private property. Oops! We had better luck on the next one...



We found a cool old stone observation tower and what looks like an ancient hotel out in the middle of nowhere.


















No Super Slab for us, but we did find some Slick Slab!




But it rode just like the rest of the great Hill Country roads...


Then we stopped in to Luckenbach for some coffee, hot chocolate, grilled cheese, and people watching....


Then back home for a quiet evening with the sweetheart...
