What an excellent weekend. Sven and Angele put their motorcycles on a trailer and came to meet me in Austin. Together the three of us drove our bikes to San Antonio using the back roads. It was Angele's first long motorcycle ride and she did an incredible job. The weather gods were nice to us too, and even though there was rain on and off throughout the weekend, the most we dealt with when we were on our bikes was wet roads.
Originally we had planned to go to Bandera TX, but found out they were having a rodeo so we ended up staying in San Antonio over the weekend instead. Ven joined us in San Antonio on Friday night, making our group a foursome. It was nice, because we had his car for going out and to carry any of our extra gear back home (which was nice for me since I don't have saddle bags on my bike).
On Saturday since there was so much rain we couldn't ride. Instead we hung out in the King William district, the RiverWalk, and the Blue Star Art's complex where we found a great micro brewery and some galleries. We watched "Terminator Salvation", which while fun and full of special effects, was light on story line and didn't leave you wanting more like the latest Star Trek movie did.
On Sunday we returned to Austin, hitting the back roads again and a variety of towns. Everyone enjoyed spending time in Wimberly. Before we got back to my house, we pulled into Ginny's Longhorn Saloon on our bikes and relaxed a bit to the music. We decided to leave just in time, because as we were pulling into the neighborhood it started to rain again. We made it to my garage with only a few drops on us. After dinner and some rest, we got dressed and headed to the Continental Club to hear Hey Bale and get in some dancing.
They loaded up their bikes on Monday and everyone headed back to Houston. As always, I was sad to see them go, but we had a fantastic weekend. Can't wait to do it again.
Here are the pictures we took.
