Over the past two months I have been doing increasing longer rides in preparation for the upcoming Desert Challenge in Big Bend.  This past weekend a group of us got together for a spirited 275 mile ride through the Texas hill country including a low water crossing of the Colorado River at Shaw’s Bend, northeast of San Saba.  Here are a few pics of that crossing.

I managed to ride my DRZ400 across without falling down.
