I came across a post in the Austin Motorcycling subreddit called “100 mile burger,” where riders share their favorite burger spots that are just far enough away to make the ride feel like an adventure. I saved a handful of recommendations and decided to check one off my list today.

The ride out to Tex Miller’s in Cameron took about an hour and a half, winding through Hutto and Taylor. I’d been that way a couple of months back, so I already knew it would be a good route.

Tex Miller’s is a cozy, family-run spot serving up tasty smashed burgers. I went for the bacon cheeseburger, and it did not disappoint – juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of messy. Paired with an ice-cold root beer, it was the perfect reward after cruising through the Texas heat with temps pushing into the 90s.

Tonight Mariko treated us to a three–pizza feast. I requested tuna, corn, and mayo, Bay went for pepperoni with honey and basil, and Koa asked for arugula with prosciutto. Each one came out perfectly, and of course they were all delicious!

A few days ago our neighbor borrowed a couple of eggs, and today they surprised us with farm-fresh eggs in a little box, complete with a handwritten note from one of their kids. It was such a sweet gesture and honestly the note made it extra adorable!

 “The Boy and the Beast” Austin, 2025

Tonight my friend and I went to see The Boy and the Beast at Alamo Drafthouse, and it was such a treat! The movie was both fun and hilarious, with a story that felt wildly imaginative from start to finish. I have no idea where Mamoru Hosoda dreams up these worlds, but I really hope he keeps them coming!

I headed out for an early ride with Kiki today to get ahead of the heat. Cruising the local roads was such a blast, especially since some of them have those long, sweeping curves that are perfect for leaning into the ride.
To wrap things up, I found a quiet little road and spent some time practicing u-turns. I can feel myself getting better with each try. Always good to keep sharpening those skills!
