Want to head out just before light (or around 7am), should be home by 6 or so.

Went 1488 to 149 then cut across the national forest (East) over to Point Blank (Pork Chops) then down to Cleveland and down to 105 over to 223 south to 45 feeder and once I hit 1488 again I went East to Backwoods for a cool refreshing drink. I have no idea how long the ride was but I would guess about 150 miles. Wife had a blast too and I got to find out how crummy the burgers were at Pork Chops. Maybe next time I will try the Pork Chop Sandwich.

She's working up to some pretty long rides. I don't think she will ever be up to Sturgis or even Bandera but at least she can join in the local 1 day rides.

Post by: Lucky on March 30, 2015, 08:11:36 PM: she is coming to BBT right? Even if she is not into long rides, BBT still has alot to offer. If she didn't want to go on a ride with you, there are several things to see and do in town within walking distance. I also know that there are a couple of people who won't be going on the Sat. rides and she could hang out while you go.
