    I straddled a saddle this morning. It left from The Meteor, a semi hipster bike/coffee shop on SoCo. About 30 folks were out today and it was fast and unrelenting on the hills. I got popped off the back about 50mi in, just after my wife so we rode home together (she is a bad ass).

    Nice! Very nice! I see you rode through my neighborhood again. You are braver than I am. The loose dogs are not a huge deal, the 24/7 drunks in trucks OTOH....

    We ran across 2 or three sets of loose dogs but no problems with trucks.

    It was a really good ride.

    Coachrick,

    The following isnt directed at you...

    **** MJ's and their wokeness with a cactus. They won't get one red cent from me ever again until they come off it.

    Plenty of reasons not to support the shop; but the ride is something I've done for most of the past 12 years(until last year).

    And potential change of plans re: COTA

    I am going to do a Lockhart loop (80ish miles) and will likely not do COTA tonight.

    Anyone want some BBQ around 2 or 2:30?

    As it turned out I didn't stop for BBQ. It was a a stiff headwind out to Lockhart, and I was already tired from Monday's 53mi ride so my wife picked me up on the way back.

    You have a couple of laps left in you, drink a cold one, hydrate , and come on out. Your kids looked like they were having a blast last time.

    They would have fun, but I am just gassed. I am at about 160mi since Saturday and the heat is taking a toll too. I'll try for next week.

    If the weather is OK I may try this route again Thursday, but end up at The Driveway.

    Here is a better shot of the longhorn wandering Barth Rd.
