Took the bike out last Sunday for a very windy ride from Houston to Lockhart, Texas. Lockhart is about 30 miles southwest of Austin, Texas.
Great big blue sky without a single cloud, but the wind from the north was very strong. At times we felt we were riding sideways while still going straight.
Our destination was Smitty's Barbecue - Lockhart has 3 of the top 5 barbecue joints in Texas as rated by Texas Monthly magazine http://www.texasmonthly.com/. Smitty's was featured on the Travel Channel when Samantha Brown visited Austin during her show on quick weekend getaways. We grabbed a pound of lean brisket and then joined the 100 or so other diners in the community dining room for really good barbecue. When we were done we grabbed another pound to take home. I heartily recommend Smitty's anytime you are in the area - and even if you're not - it's a great place to ride to on a Sunday.
Until next time - stay safe
