Varya and I returned to the Lakeway Resort on Lake Travis last fall for our respective loops, her knitting and my biking. Lakeway already had holiday decorations out to greet guests arriving for the knitting retreat and weekend getaways.
While Varya and her fellow knitters showed off their creations (including her hoodie and shawl in these pics) and tackled new techniques and projects, Duca and I looped and twisted around the lakes, following a route I mapped out in Rever. Despite needing UI improvements, Rever is handy for planning a moto tour on roads with Butler G1-3 ratings, but always overestimates time required, or rather underestimates average speed. So, riders may assume Rever’s “TOTAL TIME” includes several stops for gas, lunch, naps, etc.
Speaking of lunch, I found a great place to stop in Llano, Cooper’s Old Time Pit BBQ, and enjoyed a couple pounds of excellent smoky meats…mmmmm. South of Llano, I rode by the locally famous Enchanted Rock that I’d heard about since first arriving in Houston decades ago. Sure, a pink granite hill is kinda cool, I guess, but I wasn’t enchanted enough to dismount, much less pay the $5 entrance fee.
Back at Lakeway, we enjoyed the resort’s stone decor, tasty dining, and tranquil vistas from our balcony. No doubt we’ll return again for more fun in the Texas Hill Country.
