Short Ride Sept 5th

Well it has been months since getting on the bike and we were all ready. The weather the past couple of days was much cooler so in our nightly staff meeting we decided to go for a ride the next day. It was going to be Jimmie, Jim, Phillip, and I. We did not settle on a destination until we met at my house. We decided it would be Joe Pool Lake.

Having been off the bike for several months and it not be started nearly as long, I did not want to hit high speeds right out of the gate. Well we got on 183 headed East and Phillip in the lead took off like a shot. To make a long story short I exited after the second exit, told them I would meet them at the destination as I wanted to take it easy on the bike and get my own bikemenship up to par before hitting high speeds. So Jim and I started down the back roads while Jimmie and Phillip took off down the highway.

As it turned out I got lost temporally and found this park. Jim and I stopped for a bio break. The park is much cooler then the shots, there is a small fishing pond and other cool sites, I plan to ride back that way again.




At the park we decided to abandon going to Joe Pool and decided to head towards the Trinity River Bottoms. I texted Philip and Jim to advise of our game plan change. As it turns out Jimmie dropped his bike in the parking lot and they had to head back.

Here are some shots of the trinity, the garbage made me mad and with the water level so low you sure could see it all.








After riding around the bottoms we headed up north and had lunch and then headed home. It was great getting back on the road again.
