Our next excursion will include the other half of my favorite ride, out through Boerne to Blanco, up to Luchenback, Fredericksburg, and back through Center Pointe.

Just a few years ago, as a novice rider, my (very) first ride was the Massacre Rally out of Boerne. If you’ve never participated, it’s a blast… pretty cold, but definitely a great notch in my belt.

I always stop at the Steel Horse Cafe in Tarpley for a cold beverage and a bite to eat. It’s been a while since I made that ride, though. In fact, sadly, the last time I did was on my way home from a PGR funeral in Utopia.

I need to take a weekend and make that ride before the weather turns cold (or at least as cold as it gets in these parts).

You’ve been spared since my boyfriend and I rode up through Tarpley, Utopia, Uvalde, (Devil’s Backbone), Leaky, Hunt, Medina, Kerrville, and back to Bandera. **sigh**

It was beautiful riding weather… ran into some old friends, made new ones, and overall it truly sucks to be back home.
