Well to start off I hope everyone had a good Christmas. But to get right to it. Saturday morning I woke up to rain and so I checked the weather and saw that it was going to be a good day to ride (mid 60'). So I head up to work ,where I keep my bike, And geared up for a short ride. I pulled out at around 12:00 and headed north out of Fort Worth. I went up to Azle then to Weatherford and then down to Granbury. Then I headed down to Glen Rose decided to go alittle further and ended up in Hico, not satisfied yet I headed further south to Hamilton and then to Lampassas, Tx. Then my butt started to get alittle sore so I thought I should start heading back to the casa soon. I ended up taking hwy36 west to Gatesville and then somehow ended up going through Crawford, Tx . The President wasnt home. And then found my way to Waco. Then headed back up north via I-35 for the 2hr ride back to the shop. Fun stuff for a few hundred miles. I was going to drop in on Bluehaya for food but thought that might be rude to do out of nowhere.
So Sunday I wake up sore as a ..... Yeah one of those. And around 1:00 I got a txt to go riding so I drive the 25 miles to work and gear up and head out to North Richland Hills to meet up with a buddy. So we find each other and stop to top off the tanks and We call another guy to go hit the twisties with us on a few of our secret roads. So after we waited about an hour for the other guy to get there I decided that I wanted to go on another long ride. Only problem was that I wanted to drag my buddies along with me. I conviced them that Galveston was the ticket for the day. I havent been to the coast in a few months so why not, and the second guy had never been on a longer trip, that was going to be fun. We head out from North Fort Worth and hit 820, then 287 then I-45 south bound. The day was nice to start out at around 55 degrees and no wind. We were keeping a good pace of having to stop every 50 miles so that the guy that has never been on a long trip before can stop at every gas station to buy something he thinks he needs. We get about 200 miles into the trek and the sun is starting to set and then the clouds are starting to blanket the horizion. And then it happened. The girls (and by girls I mean the guys) get cold. We make it just south of Madisionville about 90 miles north of Houston and they want to turnaround. Its only 150 miles to the coast from there. So we turn around on this dirty little road in the middle of nowhere and start to head back to Madisionville to find some food. We get back into town and they head right for the Walmart. We spend 30 minutes in Walmart while their buying everything warm they can put on. We go to the Taco Bell and eat that horrible food I wouldnt feed my dogs and then head back North. The whole time were freezing our Azz's off. So we start to draft the semi's to try and stay warm. Then we get the bright idea to just go for it and hurry back. So were doing a buck thirty into a ten knot head wind losing the feeling in our fingers and toes. All said and done the trip was awsome but I dont think my buddies will be following me on anymore trips again anytime soon. Oh and when we got back we decided we should have just gone to Winstar instead. Oh well fun times.
And I spent less than 50 bucks for premium gas the whole weekend. Oh and I need to lube the chain. Whats the best brand to use for that?
