Euro Bike Night at Pizza Italia, San Antonio

On the first Wednesday of each month, motorcycles and scooters of all shapes and sizes meet at Pizza Italia in North San Antonio for what is known as 'Euro Bike Night'.

Tonight was one of the best turnouts ever. 24+ bikes converged on Pizza Italia.
Even though it may be called 'Euro Bike Night' any brand is welcome. We all share a common bond, we love our bikes and we love to ride.

Moto Guzzis, Triumphs,  Honda Groms, Harley's, a few Vespas and even a Can-Am Spyder and more. ;-).

Good Food, and great conversation.
Hope to see you all next month!

Total miles: 38

Leap Year Lunch at Richter's Antler Cafe

When I left home this morning, there was just enough humidity in the air to leave a fine mist on my faceshield and windshield. 
Met up with 9 others from the Comal River Riders Club and 2 guests(welcome Daryl & Linda).
We left Buc-ees' @ 11am and took a nice scenic ride to Richter's Antler Cafe for lunch. 
The food was great and so was the company. Another beautiful spring-like day in South Texas.
After the fog and clouds cleared, it warmed to nearly 80 degrees.. in February!!

Total Miles: 116

Cattle Crossing, Black Squirrels and more...

It was another beautiful spring like day in South Texas.
Today started with a bite to eat at Cora's 471 Grill in Castroville(home of the "Best Nachos in Texas"), and I must say, they were pretty tasty.
After lunch I headed north towards Bandera. Set the GPS to navigate on "curvy roads" and set out on my afternoon adventure.
As I was traveling north on County Road 265, I was stopped by a herd of cattle crossing the road. They didn't seem to care much as I zoomed on by. There must have been at least 2 dozen of them.  As I continued on County Road 265, I had to stop and take a picture of the view of Medina Lake. Just over a year ago it was merely a puddle, now look at it!
Then it was on to Bandera. As a I rode through a park, saw 2 black squirrels chasing each other across the street. Continued North on TX-16, through some of the curviest roads in South Texas. That's where I saw an Ostrich grazing in a pasture along the side of the road. Made a quick stop in Kerrvile, before cruising the Interstate(I-10) to get back home. Turned off in Boerne(pronounced "Bernie" for you non-Texans) and rode one of my favorite routes(Scenic Loop Road, Through Grey Forest, TX) back into San Antonio.
