Het spreken van Fietsen: De Kruisers van het strand

Terwijl het zoeken van informatie over de het reizen fietsritten in mijn vorige post, gebeurde ik op CruiserStyle.com, een koele website voor mensen die a zoeken kruiser fiets, als hieronder. De één-snelheid is alle ik kan behandelen en ik houd van de whitewallbanden. Deze fietsen herinneren me aan de fietsen die ik als kind heb gehad. U kon overal gaan zolang uw benen standhielden!

de LuxeKruiser van Strand 26 ″ XYZ voor vrouwen in Vanille

De waarheid wordt verteld, heb ik nog een één-snelheid kruiser met vette banden omdat ik berijdend deze stijl van fiets comfortabelst voel. CruiserStyle heeft een fiets, gelijkend op hierboven voorgesteld, met zeven toestellen voor die high-tech bikers die het weten hoe te om hen te gebruiken. Ik enkel nooit werd hang van het. Zij hebben ook strandkruisers voor mensen en kinderen, met inbegrip van sommige fietsen van de rekkruiser. U moet deze zien! De hierboven voorgestelde fiets is beschikbaar in vlak roze, roze, en babyblauw voor $145. Dit is ongeveer 1/3 van wat ik aan de laatste fiets van mijn zoon besteedde, die om in de achtertuin werd verlaten te roesten.

Als u wilt had één van de klokken als u toen u een jong geitje was, een mand grote genoeg nuttig te zijn, of stootkussens, zij al deze toebehoren ook hebben. Het enige ding misten zij waren de leeswijzers voor de sturen die uit stromen wanneer u kruis bent. Zij zijn moeilijk tegenwoordig te vinden.

Goed, genoot ik van deze reis onderaan mijn nostalgia fietssteeg, hoop ik u ook! Controle uit CruiserStyle.com als u in de stemming voor een basisfiets bent.

Buescher State Park Trip

Small fishing lake in Buescher State Park

We spent a restful weekend at Buescher State Park outside of Smithville, Texas. This park has a recreation hall, amphitheater, residences and walkways built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1920s. There are screened shelters and cabins situated on the 25-acre fishing lake.

I noticed the walk-in camping sites were ideally situated in a clearing in the middle of the forest. The walk-in was not a long hike either.  The facilities included two playgrounds for children.  Dogs are not allowed in any of the park facilities and must be on a 6-foot leash in the camp ground.

I am going to share RV sites because some of these sites were really short, maybe 20-22 feet. In the Oak Haven multipurpose camping area, sites 16-19, 22 and 28 are the only sites that have space for travel trailers and RVs. The Cozy Circle camping area is designated for RV and travel trailers, but sites 1-4 are not shady nor private, and do not have enough parking space for your car. Site 5 is a beautiful handicapped-accessible site right across from the bathroom that has handicapped-accessible facilities. Sites 6 and 7 are okay, but awkward to back into. Sites 8 and 9 are too short (<15 feet). Sites 10-14 are the most roomy, shaded and private spots.

Lost Pines Hiking Trail

We hiked about 5 miles total on the Lost Pines hiking trail, which was not as scenic as I was expecting. The walk through the woods was shady and full of wildlife and birds, but there was a long walk on the right-of-way in the sun. We turned back at the Antioch Historic Roadway and retraced our steps. We were so hot and tired, we just crawled in bed and passed out, including our dog, Rags.

Scenic overlook on PR 1C

We drove just a few miles out Park Road 1C from Buescher SP towards Bastrop SP. There is a turn out where you may overlook the Colorado River Valley.

Another RV park in area:

I picked up a brochure for Toad Hollow RV Park & Campground (art & antiques, too).  They are located on 12 acres on Alum Creek and have nine RV spots, one vacation cabin, a tipi and camping sites.  There is a Toad Hollow Pond on the property. The phone number is 512 237 5969.  The address is 115 Fishers of Men, Smithville, TX 78957.
