\nThe organizers of the 5th LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour would like to express their heartfelt thanks to all the volunteer helpers, who put in endless hours of patient work, mostly behind the scenes, but also at the early packet pick-ups and on the day of the tour itself, helpers without whose efforts this great event would not have been possible, and \u00e2\u20ac\u201c of course \u00e2\u20ac\u201c we would like to thank all our generous sponsors, too.<\/p>\n

A special and heartfelt thank you to all the Rangers of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park, without whose invaluable and tireless help this event would not have been possible.<\/p>\n

\nSpent part of the week at South Llano River State Park in Junction. It’s a really nice little State Park 7 miles South of Junction. It’s quiet and Junction is a pleasant little town.<\/p>\n

I took my Santa Cruz Tallboy and on the last day things had dried out from the big storm on Monday so that I could ride the trails around there.<\/p>\n

First off, it was a lot of fun. It’s not very technical and almost all of it is 2-track. They say they have 18 miles of it, but it’s really just a big loop with multiple links.
