Thanks Creakyknees (great nickname. I think I need to be creakyknees2!). I was thinking Hill County too so News Braunsfels and Greune sound good. I don't think the wife wlll want to hang around the race waiting for me to ride so other things to do like shopping or somesuch will be good. I think New Braunsfels and Greune would have things to occupy her time probably.
