Another great day of riding. There are 15 riders here, mostly from Colorado. Barbie, who had ridden cross country, is here. She is young and still working so she had to take three years to make it all the way across. She was with us in XC10. Since she lives in San Antonio she came up to ride for three days.
One of the pictures shows all of the Crossroads riders who are here. Ron, Jim, Barbie, Mac, and Jan. This was at the beginning of the ride when all 15 of us were together. Then some of the riders branched off to do 54 miles and some of us went back to Luckenbach. One of the guys had never been there so we had to expose him to the true Texas culture. The wind was blowing again today so it was a tough push going out and a thrill coming back.
The cow is Fred who is all spruced up for St. Patricks Day. We contemplated whether they would give him bunny ears for Easter. He is just out in the middle of a field that we rode by.
I was going to get a picture of baby goats because they are so cute. However, the best opportunity was at the bottom of a hill with a big climb up the other side. There was no way I wanted to lose the momentum from the downhill. So I sacrificed your seeing a cute picture in order to have a bit of a run going up.
Barbie and I were starving at the end of the ride. So we decided to go to the third best hamburger place in Texas. It was a little out of the way place 20 miles south of town. Filled with bikers and other pretty tough looking people. You should have seen the size of some of the burgers that were served! Amazing. We just had a regular cheeseburger and it was huge. I only ate half of it. But it really was good.
There is a prediction for severe storms tomorrow so it might be a short ride in the morning or no ride at all. Then the weather is supposed to be nice for the rest of the week. We will have to watch for water at the bottom of draws if it does rain a lot.
