Less than 2 weeks to go! Austin Weird Riding!

It started out cloudy and rainy but ended partly cloudy and a little chilly. Yes, I am writing about the weekend in Austin. Ray and Angie Torrey, Bob and Gerry visited the Gentry Ranch in Austin this past weekend. What a grand weekend it was.

We managed to get in two rides - a drizziler 26 miler on Friday and a downright rainy36 miler on Saturday. Training time is running out. Congratulations to Dave Weathers on completing the Saturday ride. Our apologies for leaving you at mile 29. I believe that the Sam's Club ride will be enjoyable for Dave.

Ray and Angie did awesome as usual. You would never know that Ray had some serious surgery late last year. Brad and Sarah were even able to get in a quick 15 miler on Sunday.

The food was excellent. Our thanks to Brad, Sarah, Ray and Angie for the delicious meals we enjoyed at Casa Gentry. The game playing was costly for some of us! Grace and Gerry were taking us to the cleaners. Steve, you missed some good Sc_ _ Your Neighbor.

Gerry was inspirational at the finish line of the Houston to Austin MS 150 ride. She was also inspirational for the hat show we put on for Grace on Friday. We are sure that Grace will always remember the welcome she received getting off the school bus on Friday.

And now it is time to get ready for Frisco to Ft. Worth. Bob

Wheeler Dealer Fundraising Ride starting in Bolivar, TX

 

It was a beautiful quiet morning in Bolivar, TX, just west of Sanger, TX. Ray Torrey and his team - Angie, Amanda, Peggy and Steve organized a 129 mile ride for MS. Officially, there were 14 riders who started today's ride. This group will ride to Old Spanish Fort, the approximate half way point for today's ride. Our team will supply lunch to this hardy group of riders. Gerry was her beautiful self and spoke words of encouragement to all riders. (At least some of the time.) Gerry and I are very thankful for this dedicated group who organized this ride. At the present time, they are out serving lunch to today's riders. Congratulations Ray, Angie, Amanda, Peggy and Steve.
