Title: East Texas Thanksgiving jaunt Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Nov 26th, 2009, 6:38pm Well, now I have additional appreciation for why they do RAAM from west to east, instead of east to west... nothing like 90 miles of 5-10 mph headwinds from the WNW! Combine that with chilly temps, and chipseal everywhere except for a blissful 10 miles or so across Hopkins county, and you get me calling Terrie to come meet me in Royse City to pick me up after a 99 mile beating... with a 14.5 average... Good ride, only two dog chases, and I got some good pics as always, but boy am I tired... |
