It’s such a nice day in North Texas . I rode this 24 inch DX that I built for a old girlfriend, she was really short

Yea !!! - broke 100 mi for the week, first time this winter - 42 of them today.
Yesterday, Sandy and I took off at 10am - 48 degrees, and wasn't supposed to be raining, but we had a cold mist in our face the whole way.
Decided after 12 mi, exposure + exhaustion was a bad idea, so we turned around, the closest Thai restaurant (one block off the trail and Lou's recommendation) still wanted 20 min to open, which we were not going to suffer, so we pedaled back to the trailhead, loaded bikes in our cars, and drove to Guajillos - the 2nd best Mexico food in San Antonio - and that's saying something. We both had the mahi in red ancho pepper sauce - cut a slice with your fork, wrap in a corn tortilla and dip it in the sauce - to die for - maybe the best meal I've ever eaten. In fact, if you ever have to request a last meal, this should be it.

Today it hit 80, but we started off at 46 and humid - it was as cold as yesterday's exposure ride.
Sunrise at the Alamodome. I came in 4th in the lead group on the downtown sprint, and told them factoring in the years above and below the saddle (120 total) - I won.
That's Randi in the center of the photo - more below.

Coffee stop on the way back - I love this window dressing with the penny-farthing - I think that's John riding it.
Sweet Randi (female), who hasn't ridden with us this cold winter - bought my cappuccino and pastry - it was gratitude for the last time she rode with us - spread across the pavement in the rain and broke her RD. I had pedaled back to my truck, and picked her up in the monsoon rain that developed in the mean time.

Lou and his holy-grail Charrel

John was happy for the sun breaking out

After the coffee group returned to Alamo Heights, I drove up Nachodoches to meet Steve at Lady Bird trailhead, and we did lower Salado greenway.
Steve's riding his Dahon Tournado, which is a fine bike. Aside from being a great tour bike, it fits in a large suitcase to check as baggage - the American Classic hubs on this bike are the only I've ever seen that could out-roll both my Phil and C-Record hubsets.

I was getting famished, and we made the detour several miles up Austin Highway to eat lunch at Tong's Thai. This place makes the most perfect stir-fried glass noodles of any except Thai Spice in Corpus - and that would be too far to go for lunch. Thoughtful Steve - we managed to get a Pad Thai in three of those little cardboard boxes into his front trunk bag - for him to take to his ailing wife (the flu - that's why we didn't have homebrew and 9-ball today).
Steve and I have been riding bikes together since 6th grade.
See y'all later - I'm going to take a nap.

Super fun day riding my Sweetie's Western Flyer; theme bike 40+ miles.

We stopped to fill Mikes rear tire twice, old BFG rubber not holding up any longer.
