Fredericksburg, TX
Friday February 25, 2022, 38 km (24 miles) – Total so far: 1,857 km (1,154 miles) Still chilly and overcast. Did a short day to the next town on the route. The weather is supposed to get back to more normal temperatures on Sunday (15c to 25c all next week).
Stopped in to a local bike shop (Hill Country Bicycle, Fredericksburg) and got some minor work done.
Tomorrow will be another short day to the next town on the route if it’s not too bad out there.
