Another boring day of riding. Over 450 miles to cover and all it takes is pointing the handlebars East, set the cruise for 80 - got to love the 80mph speed limit here, stop for gas, stop for water, repeat.
Riding was through the desert and mountains once again, but this time, the weather remained reasonably comfortable - I saw a high of 91 when we stopped for lunch around 2:30. Otherwise it was a cool riding day. Many of the mountains we rode through had their sides exposed and you could see the layers of rock and dirt that formed them over millions of years. Truly a sight to see.
We passed many Mesas and Prairies, Plateaus and Valleys, even saw some cattle grazing in the desert. Along the way there were some unlucky animal carcasses on the side of the road where the animal lost and the car may have won.
At the end of the day we stayed in San Antonio and after cleaning up took a ride downtown to see the River Walk. Parked the bikes and walked around a bit, then headed back to ward the hotel for dinner.
Settled on a place called the Little Red Barn Steakhouse and had a perfectly cooked and tasting Rib Eye Steak. Delish!
Met a Vietnam Vet named Adam and his Family outside the restaurant and offered to take a photo of the whole family and we chatted a bit. Turns out that the guy owns a leather shop selling motorcycle clothes and accessories I San Antonio.
After chatting for a few minutes we departed and headed a few miles up the road to the hotel. And here we are once again. I know. Pics, where are the pics. I should have a day of down time as I visit my Aunt Joanna in Houston tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck........
Logged over 450 miles today.
