Lollygagging

Despite a visitor during the night trying to steal my sandwhich, I had a great sleep. Waking up to cloudy skies affected my mood however and was only able to accomplish twenty miles by 11AM. Doubtful I'd make it to Austin by day's end, I cruised through Llano (pronounced "LAY-no" believe it or not), Kingsland, and Marble Falls without much concern for how many miles I was riding. In Granite Shoals I was stopped by a nice group of seniors taking a break from dominoes. They offered me a slice of cheesecake and coffee and we chatted for a bit about the journey.

Texas Farm Road 1431 proved to be the busiest farm road I've encountered. Two lanes in each direction with fresh blacktop most of the way I somehow made it to Cedar Park just after sundown. With 92 miles under my belt for the day and just outside of Austin, I stopped for a bite at a cafe with the assumption that restaurants in the city would be crammed with ACL festival attendees.

The rain is supposed to return tomorrow but I'm not too worried. I will be taking the week off (from biking and blogging) as I explore the live music capitol of the world.
