Day 30: Austin – Buescher State Park (50 miles)<\/h4>\n
Tuesday March 30, 2021\nAustin was a great city, but it was time to hit the road again. Eastbound and Down through the town of Bastrop was super cool.

Headed out a little before 10. This morning it was overcast and the temperature was about 60F. Most of the route today was on ranch roads until I go closer to Austin. There was little traffic so the riding was pleasant.<\/p>\n
As I got closer to Austin there was many turns to follow. I use the Komoot phone app for navigation. It works well. I was able to input the Southern Tier route in Komoot and then save it for off line use. Komoot navigation has the ability to …\n\"\"\/\nThe road was pretty steep after crossing the stream<\/p>\n
