This is my first planned group organized ride of the year. The weatherman is predicting mid-70’s temperatures and 80% chance of no rain (I prefer this way of rain %). Although I have not ridden many outside miles this year I am looking forward to the 63 mile route. Sunday I may not be moving as quickly though.

Just to build on this I am also planning on the Baytown Gator Ride on March 3rd. It’s too early to know what kind of weather to expect. This year I will be riding on new tires and so I should not need to rely on duct tape to make it to the finish line. Last year my rear tire wore through the casing producing a flat. I needed to be creative to make it to the finish line. I moved the rear tire to the front and found some duct tape at a later rest stop.

I will be watching for riders at both events. I might snap a picture or two for the website. Now I need to figure how to get a texbiker.net jersey to wear to rides.
