Almost Enough San Antonio, Texas

Too. Much. Heat. Left the house intending to get 28 to make my century for the day. Decided not to die today, so I cut it short a bit. Call it rounding up or pulling forward some miles from the last two Saturdays of 100+, but either way, I’m done for today.

LSD was the plan today, at my own pace and also do SCNT for the first since they got the storm damage cleared. An interesting day out, met a few people along the way-
- @steve Williams on Happy Trail – good to catch up with him
- Jim Robertson on BBQ – he was doing a trash pick up walk. We visited for a out 10 minutes – had to break away – we could go for hours -@dave Mackey on SCNT. Haven’t seen Dave in a long time, so good to catch up
Other notes: I think I’ve found the side connection to Roy Burroughs Park. I’ll post details on FB forums
- my secret connection from Nanes to Bamwood was a disaster with several big trees down. I ripped myself to shreds trying to get through and then finished up on a homeless camp back on Nanes! Had to sneak through someone’s backyard to avoid going down to 1960! I’ll contact HCFCD about that.
- had a nice time crossing Spring Creek. Sat in the creek for a few minutes to cool off!
- Route worked well with fuel stops – breakfast Taco on 2920, sandwich at Springwoods Exxon, and sugary drinks at Shell on Kuykendahl. A hot day, but manageable with plenty of ice water over my head!

Considering that I nearly passed out yesterday morning due to what I guess was bad dehydration the evening before, I am more than happy with how I rode today! I certainly tried to take it easy, and did my share of drafting. We had a great group of about a dozen cyclists on today’s ride. As always, I am certainly most thankful to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for saving me both spiritually and physically, and enabling me to return to this sport that I love, and for another great ride with wonderful men and women.?
Had to get a pic of a pretty good size group before we started this morning’s ride at the Comfort Park.
