Plano Eastside Ride pics (6/13)
Jun 13^th, 2009, 2:13pm

Rode up to do the Plano Eastside ride today, got in a nice 50+ miles for the morning. The Eastside ride is nice, in that it's fairly low traffic, and the pace is kept at about 16.

Froggy Went a Courtin'... but he didn't make it...

The Highway 190 service road is pretty deserted at 7:30AM

The Sausage Biscuit Gang rides again...

This guy approves of the 'bent...

Lavon Dam turnaround

I split off for home after we returned to Wylie, and had a couple interesting things happen:

Unique mailbox in front of a propane company

I encountered a farmer produce stand on a corner of the road, and stopped to get a few things to take home. Another guy was there buying stuff, and he asked about my bike, saying he had a Colnago road bike and does ~20 mile rides. I asked if he'd ever sat on a 'bent, and invited him to try it. He was immediately able to take it ~1/4 mile down the side road and back, with no problem, saying "Wow, this is GREAT!!"

The frog choker you guys almost rode in last Wednesday left this guy at our porch: He was so big that when I picked him up I couldn't get both hands all the way around him. Now that's a frog!
