Another tough ride in texas

So nice camping in paid XG: I hung outside w/ door open making my presence visible. Dirt bag camping is reclusive. Worked on bike, changed tire, called Gracie. Clouded over during night making it warmer.

Drove out of xg to TH parking area. Headed out to ride to otheer side of Georgetown Lake. Riding this sharp edged limestone is taxing: To fall on it would result in many cuts from same rock. Trail @ start was ST tyhru junpiers & over limestone rocks. trail dropped out onto old road that worked its way up river until it hit the ford. Apparently the lake at one time was way high but now is a shadow. The beach area is closed as the water is below the floating barrieres that have been grown over in the sand. Trail wandered thru old bottom lands until it climbed up on the far bank and the riding got way more technical. The rock edges were sharper and the line choices were blocked by prickly pear cactus. i walked some each way. I had a hard time punishing my tires over sharp rock. 3 hours.

Drove to Joe hogg XG for shower. New person womaned the gate and I paid the $3.00 & drove in. I experienced all h20 turned off in xg. Learned to turn on h20 before stripping.

  1. If you eventually head out to or past the Amarillo area, be sure to check out the trails at Palo Duro Canyon. There is a state park campground in the canyon $, but the trails and scenary are worth it.
