Back roads and Barbecue Oct 4.

  We didn't make it to the Salt Lick but we did eat with Devin, Lawrence and ?? (dangit I'm tired, ok?). 
Curtis

The ?? was Rick Frankenberger -- hails from San Antonio.  When you guys headed back north, and Devin went back to school to study, Rick and I rode out 1431 to Marble Falls for some pie.  On the way home down 962, rode through a flock of wild turkeys, so you can add those to the list...

Was great to see you guys.  We still need to go the The Salt Lick...

Thanks for reminding me Rick's name.  Was great to see you folks too.  I loved your stories, especially the air bag jacket in the river!  We still have an appointment with the Salt Lick and Inks Lake State park.  We only went 1/3 of the way in before Don's tire got his attention.  We'll definately do this ride again.  Let's do it when the days start lengthening again and make it a 12:30 lunch.  I felt bad making my guys ride curvey back roads whilst dodging wildlife, and not seeing the scenery to boot!  Seriously though, we had a great time...........thanks for calling this lunch!!

P.S.  Bluebonnet Cafe?  We didn't find any pie so we had to settle for a Blizzard at DQ.

Yes, the Bluebonnet Cafe.  Pecan pie.  Rick had ice cream on his.  MMMMmmmmmmm!!!!
Here are a few pics I took at the lunch spot.

1) Rick, Greg C., Devin, Greg O.

2) Dave and his new Valk

3) Bikes parked for lunch

4) Curtis' Valk --note the sophisticated hydration system!!

Thanks to you guys for coming south.  Maybe we can pick a spot nearer the geographic center soon.

I am with you on the longer days -- it is just that October is usually my favorite month for outdoor activities of any sort -- cool mornings, warm afternoons, not as much wind as spring time.

Oh, now your hurting me.  Pecan is always my choice and never without ice cream and a cup of coffee.  None of that sissy pie with the calf slobber piled on top!!

HEY!!!!  I've traveled really far for both a chocolate meringue pie and  a lemon meringue pie.  I'm not saying that they are any better than key lime, apple or choclate pecan but I am saying that meringue has a place in this world.  My sister and I have the "cow slobber" arguement everytime I stop at the Chappel Hill Exxon to pick up my meringue pie of choice to go.  That said I must here by vote PRO-MERINGUE!!
Got to go now... i'm hungry!

Yep, you just reminded me of the pumpkin pie in the fridge that son's GF made.  I'll be back later!

OK theres a place here in East Texas that makes pecan cobbler.  It is to die for.  It is at a all you can eat fish place on Lake Fork.  Have to set up a ride there one day.

Jim, I'm thinking about bringing a ride out to the Shed in Edom this Saturday if I can work out the details.  Right in your back door!  I'll post a separate thread, so keep your eyes open for details.

That sounds great to me.  I will be there for sure.  That is only 12 miles from my house.
