This was an excellent ride. The skies finally cleared up after a big thunderstorm went through during the night. One of the problems when these big storms go through is the water over the roads. Fortunately most spots were just a little wet and messy so we could carefully ride through them. However at one spot, riding through would not be a good idea. So we took our shoes and socks off and Barbie carried our bikes across. Mike and I appreciated having a young, strong female helping us get across!
There were plenty of hills to ride up. Some of the grades were up to 11%. The fortunate thing is that they were short when they were that steep. And there were some great downhill runs also. The roads here are great and the traffic is low. So it is a wonderful place to ride.
Last year we saw several Texas longhorns. Unfortunately I didn't see any yet this year. But I did see a herd of goats with long horns. So that may be my only longhorn picture for the year.
Yeah! You got a picture of a goat!
ReplyDeleteJust picked up on your ride blog...great photos, sounds like great fun - and, yeah, cycling does in fact lead to a form of insanity. Stay safe and enjoy.
