Sounding a lot like a good plan.
Geebus Gonzales has a craptonne of hotels. I had no idea.
My speed is going to depend on how much my work allows me to ride. I've not ridden in 18 days now because of work travel (not counting the hotel bikes) that should ease up some soon, but I think 100 miles is still a 5:30-6 or me depending on the amount of chipseal that sucks away my forward momentum ..

Looks like staying the night in Gonzales 15 miles away is the best option.
Maybe a tennative schedule is to start the ride in Austin at 7am, get to Shiner noonish, spend the afternoon listening to music and having some beer, then around 3 or 4pm ride to Gonzales to spend the night.
Get up Sunday morning, have breakfest, and head back to Austin at an easy pace sometime before 9am.
Thoughts?
