Then there was the ride to visit friends on the Pedernales... Rounded a corner on a CR and there was a cow nursing her calf in the middle of the road. Managed to dodge them and the huge live oak also in the middle of the road. Same trip, south of Dripping Springs, saw an ambulance crew hauling a bicycle rider out of a pasture- man, her face was SOOO RED, she was screaming in pain. She was part of a pleasure ride that I had run across earlier, must have been hit from behind by a car and thrown way over the fence. I was real glad I wasn't her right then. There were signs posted all over their route saying watch for riders. Later, near Kyle, I was behind a trailer with a wooden picnic table/bench on it. I noticed it didn't have anything tying the contraption down, so I slow my approach speed a little, tapping my brake and using the hand signal for stop. A crazy person in an SUV speeds by me just as I see the bench slide off and smell wood burning. The trailer slows down to stop and reload, the SUV slams on the brakes, I'm back there thanking somebody for making me pay attention.
