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.

​Total Miles :160.6

Camp Verde General Store & Restaurant

This morning started out at a chilly 40 degrees. Bundled up with 3 layers, I got an early start at 7:30am. Traffic on Loop 410 was insane, but once I got out of San Antonio, onto I-35 it was smooth sailing to New Braunfels.
Met up with 10 other members of the Comal River Riders Club. Shed one layer, then Kickstands Up(KSU for those non-bikers) at 9am and we headed west on FM 306.
Got stuck in a construction zone just west of New Braunfels, sat at a dead stop for probably 20 minutes or more. After that it was a beautiful ride to our first stop in Spring Branch. Plenty of wildlife and scenery including deer, buffalo, vultures and even a brave squirrel crossing the path of 11 motorcyles. One more stop in CenterPoint and then on to The Camp Verde General Store & Restaurant.
Great Food, Great company... overall.. another Great day!


Total miles for the day: 168
