I left the motel at about 8:30 am. I went 4 miles (downhill) to Walmart to look for an SD card reader. It took a while to find one, but it was in the photo section for $10.
I made the decision to follow Highway 16 all the way to Fredericksburg, rather than the Adventure Cycling Map.
Easy riding day, due to overcast skies, tailwind, and short distance. I reached Fredericksburg at noon.
As I walked my bike down the main street, I noticed a restaurant called Pasta Bella on a side street. A man came out and offered me bread. I was going in for lunch anyway, so declined. Shaun said I could wheel my bike right into the restaurant. He was the owner, and said that they had bikes inside often. I knew it was a good place as soon as I walked in, because it was packed with a lot of locals my age.
The skies cleared after lunch, and it got hot. I was glad that I hadn’t tried to go the additional 45 miles to Johnson City.
Tomorrow’s goal, Johnson City. I think I’ll skip the ACA map again, and just take Hwy 290.
Miles today: 35.6

I have the atlas opened to eastern Texas. It looks like your route has you going very near Austin. Did you get to try the kolaches or was the shop closed?
Hi, sweetheart. I should hit Austin on Friday if all goes according to plan. I’ll see if I can stay at a hostel, there. Haven’t found a kolache place, yet, but I’m sure something will be open, soon.

Ah, so still no kolache?
If the pig-in-a-blanket doesn’t count, then no, still no kolache. At Ranch 99, that’s called a hot dog bun, and it’s just $1.25 in San Jose.
