Great video! Texas State Parks are awesome. I would plan rides in the Hill Country around a nightly campsite with showers. Many were the state parks.

Keep on crank'in it David !

Glad to see this edition. I’m yearning for my Southern trip in May. Keep posting, thanks!

David, your journey through the Southern Tier is a joy to watch 🌟🚴‍♂️. The peaceful park scenes and your camping routine really capture the freedom of the open road 🏕️🌄. Keep pedaling strong, brother! 🙌 Your determination and love for adventure are a reminder of life's simple pleasures. Much respect! ✊🏾🌍💛

I’m with you on that 15 mile stretch of terror! We were 3…. So we split up with plenty of space between us so cars could “hopscotch” around us! It was a Sunday afternoon…everyone heading back to the city

Did you have any concerns sleeping in tent with rattlesnakes and coyotes around? Any tips on wild camping for hopefully a future trans America rider?

Austin is a super cool city - amazing place - enjoy and be safe !!

The small stream that you crossed at 2:08 of your video is steep as F! The hill country in Texas can be brutal especially when you get close to Austin! I was on that section early October and really hot!

Tubeless is the way to go, love following your trip

David, your determination through the Texas Hill Country is inspiring! 🚴‍♂️ Tackling 90 miles of steep hills and dodging livestock isn’t easy, but you handled it like a pro. That tailwind was a well-earned boost, and the brewery stop added a nice touch to an intense day. Hope your warm showers host provided a cozy spot for the night, and best of luck sorting your plans in Austin. Safe travels on the rest of your journey! 🌟🍺

Thanks!! The clarity of the photography is great. I swear I could smell some of those Spring days. I’ll look forward to your next one!

Missing your trip!🥲

I find it very peaceful in the middle of nowhere. Libraies are a good place to charge up. Be safe and hope you enjoy the ride without any problems.

Welcome to tx the land of spontaneously combusting humans

No clue but as i plan to ride this im very interested

Thanks for getting this out. Still don’t see anything that entices me to Texas. I love solitary, grand rides like the Dakotas or deserts of Arizona. This just looks bleak to me.

Are you using a green screen for your videos? There are no cars.

I would like to know your route because there are no cars. Every place I ride there are cars passing me.

Vanderpool is just South of Lost Maples State Park which has showers. Not much there except that store.

Dude your videos suck there's nothing interesting with them at all an your cheap ass bike lmao

The "Purple Tree" is a Texas Mountain Laurel. The Texas Mountain laurel produces large clusters of flowers that have a strong sweet aroma to them. These trees require minimal maintenance and pruning and they never lose their leaves. The rolling hills in the area you rode through are challenging. I believe your rode through the area during the best time of the year. The spring flowers combined with the cooler temps are very enjoyable.

Mom here is curious about your downhill speed. You mentioned the climb miles per hour, I am thinking it will look faster on camera, but not the 50mph in my imagination!

Thanks…. I know its a chore to put up and edit something that happened yrs ago.

Wow I look at these knowing that you were 6 months ahead of me!

Nothing like the open road - what a marvelous ride - you are inspiring us all to get out and ride !!

This is a great place to camp in Fredricksburg, TX on your way to Pedernales State Park and Austin... maps.app.goo.gl/1vv4pSoHUo6HiPrQ8

I want to do this so bad. Thanks for the inspiring videos 🎉

I went tubeless 5 years ago & I'll never go back. I do carry bacon strips, a small bottle of Stans & a spare tube.

Hi David, I used to live in Austin and take self supported bike tours in the Texas Hill Country. There are some long steep climbs but the scenery is great. The state parks all have showers. I camped at Lost Maples SP and the Schreiner park ( used to be a state park ) in Kerrville is nice too. I have a great off-highway paved route to Fredricksburg and the connectors to Perdnales State Park and Austin if you like. There is a campground near the airport in Fredricksburg where I met other ST cyclists while I stayed there. Great place with showers. People are used to seeing folks riding the ST route. I can send you a link to my 400 mile loop but most of it is off your itinerary. We live outside Durango CO now. If you come this way in the future we will host your stay. Cheers!

I’m laid up from hernia surgery, so I appreciate you getting this out. I would love to be on my bike in northern AZ, but riding with you helps. Glad you haven’t run into any people problems! Looking forward to your next drop!

I rode up the Pacific coast the summer of 2020. A lot of the fast food soda fountains were closed(I usually filled my water bottles up). In 2021, I rode across the U.S. COVID was big on the Navajo reservation. Everything was closed on the reservations. I'm kind of a loner & I rough camped the whole time so it didn't bother me too much....& no, I never did get that COVID shot. I never trusted the government after they made us take those non-FDA approved anti-nerve agent pills during Desert Storm.

6:15 I got woke up one morning outside of Carmel, CA by a descent of woodpeckers. Loud as hell. 8:28 I remember AZ. 6" bike lane & 10" rumble strip. I hated it.

I went tubeless 5 years ago & I'll never go back. Rode up the Pacific coast & also from CA to MO. Never got a flat. I run Schwalbe Almotion 29x2.15

I rode thru that area but just a little further south on Hwy 94 thru Barrett Junction & Campo then re-hooked back up near Jacumba. I'd like to do another ride.

Welcome to texas the sun is brutal

i tried to video my 5400 meandering mile cycle trip but found it too annoying. I think I did like, 8? ...and doing 75-100 miles every day I wasn't visiting museums the whole put the camera down, ride past and then go back and get it thing was not worth the trouble for, like, 50 views. Stay safe!

I’m in AZ and will do the Southern tier next year …. But I will skip Texas!

That was some very remote and lonely country out there. Glad you survived out there. Thanks again for posting another fabulous video.

Thanks for putting this out. Im addicted to the touring videos…please keep them coming.

For this mom, I laughed at the tomato beer-knowing your aversion to tomato soup! I was not surprised that you discarded the remaining 3 cans. I raised a discerning , kind boy😂

Hey man looks like you had great trip thanks for sharing! Side note please take this as someone who wants your channel to grow. More camera shots of where your at and what your seeing and less vlogging. A liile vlogging goese a long way buddy. Show us what you see when your riding! Hope you can take this with good thoghts i meant by it. Happy trails man :)

Really enjoying your videos David. Can't wait for the next one to come out!

Did you ever put tire liners in your tires? 12 flats from Boston to Key West. 1 flat from Boston to San Diego using tire liners! Now, 4 years later and ride my bike almost everyday and still 1 flat. Hope all is good!

This is like a cliffhanger! Will the old tube deflate? Thanks to cycling enthusiast, Steve, in Alpine, TX, this mother can relax -knowing my son has a heavy duty inner tube at the ready!! (You cycling folks are mighty kind!)

Gila Proven! Silver City is my hometown. Moved back in 2022. Good cycling community. Really good mountain biking.

Great to see you back on road again! Good luck and safe travels. 🙏

Turquoise Tuesday FTW

You looked so happy to be close to Alpine. Too bad you missed the brewery by a few years...
