Del Valle to La Grange

Shoulder snakes.

 Another scant 49 miles today to the historic town of LA Grange. This town, as I am sure everyone knows, is the home of the "Chicken Ranch" made famous by the movie "The best little whore house in Texas " and the song LA Grange by ZZ Top. That seems to be about all it has going for it although it does have a Walmart and yes a great sports bar for watching the Eagles slip past the Saints. Although todays miles were low, the pace will definitely pick up as map 4 of 7 will wrap up after todays ride.

More shoulder snakes. These nasty, gnarly monsters are viscous creatures that are responsible for many a bicycle tire flat including mine. 

Texas pine trees. 

The Colorado River or what's left of it.
