One glorious Thursday in early spring, Varya and I rendezvoused at scenic Lakeway Resort on Lake Travis for a long weekend getaway. While I rode my bike from Houston, she drove her convertible ‘Stang, knocking out her longest highway haul like a pro! At the resort, Varya modeled her expertly crafted colorful creations, evidently as one does at a knitting convention, judging by the many yarn-clad guests.
As she began her exciting weekend trading yarns with fellow knitters from around the globe, I spent Friday twisting around Lakes Travis, Marble Falls, LBJ, Inks and Buchanan on a Ducati (almost as thrilling as knitting), winding up in Erik’s & Liza’s garage with David and his BMW. As is customary at this 5…er…6-star west Austin resort, appetizers and aperitifs awaited our arrival.
Fortunately for us dinner guests, Erik grills some killer steaks and master chef Liza sets a lavish, delicious table, so our generous hosts spoiled us all. After much feasting and revelry, we retired to the poolside veranda and fire pit for digestifs.
The next morning, perhaps a bit later than planned, David and I suited up and rode westward for our all-day hill country moto-tour, looping around Luckenbach and Comfort before twisting back east to meet Erik and Liza at Salk Lick BBQ in Driftwood. Nothing hits the spot after several hours of riding like a big plate of BBQ buffalo ribs!
Thanks, Dave, for the great ride, and thanks again, Erik and Liza, for opening up your most excellent hill country home to flatland bikers!
