We are taking a ride on the Full Moon Express tonight! I really had my doubts earlier today as to whether we would be riding tonight or not. The skies looked threatening all day with a high percentage of rain possible, if not a short shower. However, as I peek out the back window of the palatial Graves estate looking south from the mountaintop (hilltop) here on the Bayou called Texar, I see the clouds breaking up and some gorgeous sunshine brightening the possibilities for a perfect ride on the white sand beaches tonight! Come on somebody!
Just a couple of notes regarding tonight's ride:
1. Please try to be on time as we will need to leave as close to 7:30pm as possible. The sun sets just shy of 8pm and the moon rises at 8:11pm...timing is everything! Don't forget your lights!
2. Remember to bring an extra $3 to get into the National Park. We usually have enough Annual Pass holders to get everyone in "free" but we never know exactly how many folks may be riding on any given ride so we may not have enough pass holders...enough said.
Now, how about that ride tomorrow morning?!
Well, from a ride on the Orient Express...oops, uh, I mean, the Full Moon Express tonight to a trip on the Pine Forest Loop Line tomorrow! Man, I just love this kind of stuff!
Yes, tomorrow morning we will leave the Firestone and Summit Station at 7am for a moderate paced ride on the group fave Pine Forest Loop! We will have both groups together for this 40 to 45 miler. Good fun! And for the boys who are feeling a bit frisky, we'll throw in a couple of sprints just to keep folks from falling asleep at the wheel. One rest stop is planned to fill the bottles and tell stories. This would be a great ride to invite a friend that has wanted to come out but is intimated by some of the names of the riders...i.e. Crusher, Big Motor, Danger and of course, that Bad Mayonnaise!
For those of you that care, I'm sure we will be home in time to see all the attacks on the final climb on tomorrow's stage of Le Tour de France!
Sunday, we'll do an easy paced ride on the UWF/Scenic Hills loop...minus a couple of the hills. This ride starts at 3pm at Firestone and Summit. Not quite a recovery ride, but we won't be hammering either.
Hope to see everyone out tonight and/or this weekend and as always, I'll...
See you out on the road,
Bob
