The Great Ride Around Texas

Day 1. Houston to Center. Finally. The moment of departure had arrived. Weeks of planning, selecting the itinerary, inviting guests, even one cancelled trip due to health problems.

May 13th, 8:00 a.m. exactly and we give the signal to “head ‘em up, move ‘em out!”. (Okay, maybe you are not old enough to have watched the old wagon train series with a much younger Clint Eastwood as “Rowdy Yates”.) Our initial ride had a total of 9 bikes, although 3 would be riding with us for this 1st. day only.

We had decided to take a counter-clockwise path around Texas to save the Big Bend and Davis Mountain loop riding for nearer the end of the trip.
