Montell to Lost Maples state park. 51.5 miles. 3100 ft
This was probably our last hard day of climbing through Texas hill country. We had three hard long climbs. I was pretty cloudy most of the day.
The four of us, Craig, me, John, and Karl left Alice’s house by 8 and rode to the next town, camp hill, where we stopped at a Hispanic restaurant for breakfast. It was a buffet for $8.99! They had these delicious cinnamon rolls along with most of the other standard breakfast items. And fresh tortillas.
With our bellies full we started our climbing. We had some beautiful views. At the top of the last climb John decided to try for Ingram while the rest of us rode to the state park. It was very busy because of the eclipse but they had some primitive sites that we had to roll our bikes on a trail about 1.5 miles! But they were nice sites.
