Austin, TX - July,
2001
While visiting Austin, TX for a business commitment I took a
couple of extra days and toured the "Hill Country" in central Texas
around greater Austin. Wonderful area to ride, varied terrain and excellent road
conditions.
Austin is known for having great BBQ, I tried these
spots while I was there.
Here are a few pictures I took during a 280 mile ride on
Sunday.
Special thanks to Tony
Garcia at Eagle Rider in Austin for
hooking me up w/ a great Electra Glide Classic for my weekend touring
experience.

The FLHTC I rented gettin' a sun bath while I stuffed my
face inside.
The Ironworks BBQ in Austin. Make sure to try the pork ribs. |

The shot was taken from a restaurant called The Oasis
overlooking Lake Travis north of Austin.
Decent food, but go for the view more than anything else.

This was taken outside of Stubb's.
Another great BBQ joint
in Austin.

This was taken at a
roadside turnoff on a section of road called "Devil's
Backbone".
It's southwest of Austin, near Wimberley and a great
stretch or road to ride.

This shot was taken on a 13 mile stretch of road called
Willow Loop.
It's northwest of Johnson City, on the way to Llano, and
cuts across the back of a series of private ranches. Watch
out for cattle.
Rough surface but a
good ride none the less.
