Ladyrider and I made it home safely on Sunday after about 700 miles on the bikes for the weekend.
Here is our tale of the ride.
We rode from Burleson at about 6:30 AM on Saturday only stopping for a quick breakfast at a donut shop (breakfast of champions) in Ennis and a couple of fuel stops. We took the fast route to Conroe.
I-35 south to 67
67 to 287 at Midlothian
287 to I-45 in Ennis
I-45 south to Conroe.
We saw this guy along the way
We pulled into Pie in the Sky abit after 11, and lots of folks already there.
Some of the bikes.
Inside standing in line to place our order with lots of other folks, the service was fanstastic. They got everyone served in no time at all.
Standing in line with Pie Man as he checks the menu
Our choice was Pecan Cobbler al la Mode, mmmhhhh good!
Back outside we saw this had pulled in.
Got a shot of this beautiful Triumph Trident
After visiting for a bit Kathy and I rode on south to Bay City to see her Mother. We ran through problably 75 or 100 miles of mist, but never any rain.
We went by the nursing home where Kathy's Mom is and visited for a bit. We got a room at the new Comfort Inn & Suites went to dinner at a new resturant that has opened in Bay City. We had excellent shrimp(sorry no pics), and were done for the night.
Next day we were on the road by 9:30 after having a excellent complinmentary hot breakfast at the hotel. We stopped in Wharton to take this picture of this mural on a building across from the Courthouse (we already have a pic of the courthouse in our collection)
We stopped to find a geo-cache at this location on a county road west of Wortham
This was such a peaceful area with such great views I can see why he wanted to be buried here.
Finally when we made it into Hubbard we set the GPS for home. Took 171 straight into Hillsboro then I-35 for home. We made it around 5 PM.
I don't have the exact mileage but I know it is somewhere around 700 for the 2 days. We enjoyed seeing everyone at the Pie Run and will do our best to make more. As Chuck said seems like when we plan on going and post it on the forum we don't make it. So we will make it last minute plan and just show up from now on. I have to give to my lovely trip planner, Kathy (ladyrider), credit. She put together a beautiful ride and even took me on some roads I had never been on before.
Great weekend!!
