The ride before the storm

With the upcoming weather forecast calling for rain for most of the week, today was the best day to ride. The weather was perfect!

Today i connected with to guys from the Hill Country Motorcycle Riders(HCMR) for a ride north to the Willow City Loop. It was a pleasure to meet and ride with Bob Dixon And Jeffery Urias. Looking forward to riding again with you soon.

We met in North San Antonio and then headed north towards Boerne on my favorite route, Scenic Loop Road. Continued north and made a stop in the famous little town known as Luckenbach. We just happened to stop there on the day of The Texas Independence Day Celebration, hosted by the former Texas Rangers 

We then continued on through Fredricksburg and on to the Willow City Loop.The road was a bit rough in some spots, but the views were amazing. Several low water crossings(one with just a bit of water), open ranges with cattle grazing in the distance and even a few bluebonnets too.

Then we returned to Fredericksburg for lunch at Wheelers Restaurant, where we met up with Frank Jensen and his awesome Polaris Slingshot. We then parted and went our separate ways to get back home.

The ride home was uneventful (a nice ride "cruising down US-281", lyrics courtesy of Gary P Nunn), until I got to IH-410 & Bandera, freeway was closed further ahead(at Ingram Rd), due to an accident.
I ditched the highway and took backroads to get home.

Overall, another great day, with great people and great food!

Total Miles: 216
