Tyler State Park<\/a><\/h2>\n

While it may not qualify as a destination based on the amount of riding, Tyler State Park is a great place to camp, ride, and kayak if you have reason to be near here. Roughly five hours from Austin, it is a world apart. My wife\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s family lives nearby and I have escaped into the woods to ride for the last 20+ years.

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been a good while since I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve recorded multiple rides in a week. As you can see, the weather was picture perfect! A splash of amber melted into shades of red. pic.twitter.com\/XJPtN2VHf3<\/a><\/p>— BiciDude (@robdeleonjr) October 1, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>
