If all goes well, plan is to drive one-way to Brownsville, TX and spend my Christmas break cycling back to Austin, TX. The most direct route is ~350 miles, but if weather cooperates I'll go a longer route. Fortunately, some ability to adjust day be day with different route combinations.

This year I didn't quite get the shorter tours I planned (e.g. Austin to Little Rock to Chicago); but did get a week and half touring in India (Leh to Srinagar; and some of the Manali to Leh route) which was good. Vacation is unfortunately scarce this year, hence the short Christmas ride. This year I also did half a dozen weekend overnight trips, mostly to different TX state parks.
