Today I was invited to join two other members of the Comal River Riders Club for an impromptu ride to Luckenbach and
Wildseed Farms near Fredericksburg.
Traffic getting out of San Antonio was the usually nightmare, but once out of town, it was a smooth ride to Canyon Lake. I left my place at 8:30am, thinking that traffic would be somewhat light going the opposite direction of the morning commute, but boy was I wrong. My ride to Canyon Lake should have taken about 45 minutes, however it ended up taking almost 2 hours, yes, that's right 2 hours! With no accidents, just very slow drivers.
When the posted speed limit is 70mph, you should not be in the left lane, going 45 to 50.
We met at Granny D's in Canyon Lake, TX, then, led by Jerry Moncrief, we headed out towards our first stop in Luckenbach. Next stop was
Wildseed Farms (for some Mother's Day shopping), then lunch in Johnson City at The Hill Country Cupboard.
We then went our separate ways from there. I decided to make a stop at
Kent Powersports in Selma, then back home.
Thanks Jerry for leading another great ride!
Total miles: 248
We woke up that morning to find one of the trees in my
brothers backyard had crashed into his pool. Out came the chainsaws and about 2 hours later, the yard
and pool were all cleaned up. Fortunately there was no damage to the house or other
structures.
Our route included some great view of the South Texas country, which included the normal sightings of roadkill and even a live turtle crossing the road, yes, a live turtle. It was already about 3/4 of the way across when we approached but it was still a cool sight to see. 
Today I would have been leading a ride to the CAF Air show at the airport in Burnet, TX. This airshow was postponed until mid-September, so instead, I lead a group of 20 other bikes from The Comal River Riders Club, on a great ride to The Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood, TX.
