Overall, another great weekend of riding; 200 for me, lil more lil less for others. It was looking to be a cold and chilly day initially ... but .... as the date got closer, the forecast got better. I thought I'd have to don my chaps but by 0930hrs, it was 49 degrees and headed North! By the time we're KSU, it's low 50s. On the way home, it'd pop all the way to 67!
In Lone Oak, six bikes and one trike would roll out. Chief is our Road captain and leads the pack with myself, Honey Badger, Orion, Rocket, Fireshot and Shooter bringing up the rear on 3. Initially, we wanted to take the 'scenic' route... but... it's still a notch cold so we roll straight down 69 to 80 to Longview. We're some of the first to roll in with 23-20 and 23-14 there. We expected a contingent roll in from 23-26 but never heard from them, minus Abe but he's local.
It was fairly calm compared to last time with us all in the VFW pool hall area. Once everyone was there the mood kicked into gear and the good times were had. Good percentage were playing pool; hell I finally joined in and for once didn't suck. A pool tourney was underway and they had a kitchen pushing out Burgers and other treats. I have to admit .. my burger sucked. Was advertised as a half pounder and I'd be surprised if that mystery meat was a 1/4 pounder. Sigh. However others had some type of Philly / Cheese on fries or tots, and it looked awesome! Shoulda Coulda Woulda!
