Texas: “The Whole Enchilada” – Austin

Whole Enchilada Photo

We’re in Austin to lead a ride for Bicycle Adventure Club which we call “The Whole Enchilada”.  So where did that name come from?

Brenda and I have led many tours in the Hill Country; we’ve led 7-day tours our of Fredericksburg, 10-day tours which began and ended in Boerne and 14-day tours which begin and end in Austin.  So The Whole Enchilada is the 14-day tour.  I think it’s the best of the bunch.  It may not cover the entire Hill Country but it gives a pretty good sense of the entire area.  Here are the routes we ride and the places we will stay:

We have a very diverse group:

  • We’re diverse geographically with participants from Alaska, Arizona (0r it it Hawaii?) , California, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and, of course, Texas.
  • And we have diverse experience levels with Bicycle Adventure Club.  We have the current Chair of the Board of and three past chairs.  But we also have 5 people on their first BAC ride.

My challenge will be to write a daily blog while Brenda and I lead the ride.  I don’t think I ever done these blogs at the same time - hope I can do it.
