 It worked out really well for as the weather goes for the BBT!! Could really not ask for a better one except the WIND was just a bit to gusty!! Right not where I live it is raining CATS and DOGS. Thanks again for a great time and hope to see everyone next year or sooner!!

Yeah, I guess it could have been hotter and we could have fought mosquitos all night...but that wind...damn, it was tough.

If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

Yep the weather cooperated and except for the wind wasn't bad at all seems like while we were there. I guess when your having fun it doesn't matter.  I only really noticed the wind on the trip down and the hurricane force winds on the way home.  :bikerider: I took a little different way home to have trees and low spots to use as a wind block. The last 9 miles on the way home we actually got the wind to our back and it was nice and I was really glad cause I was whipped. All in all it was real good to meet some new faces and see some old (er) ones.

I packed everything up Tuesday night for a departure of Wednesday noon. Had full intentions of having 4 full days of the Hill Country. After I loaded the bike on the trailer I just happen to notice a knot on my front tire. I had a tire but not the time to fool with it. $78 bucks to the dealer to take my wheel off and mount my new tire. It was 9:00 pm Wed. when I finally got to the air field where the attendant instructed me to put my tent in never never land. I think I finally got to bed around 1:30. Thursday morning about 5:30 I was pleasantly awakened by what sounded like a crop duster buzzing my tent. :cuss: Made a run to Leakey and came back to party in Showville. Passed out around 1:30 again to be awakened at 7 Friday morning by the barrel boucing garbage crew.  :banghead: Went for a ride and returned to find the wind had caved my tent in. The end of Billville. Packed it all up and went for another ride to Alamosa Springs to grab a burger. Left there and went to the Armadillo Farm to see if Gay had a cabin available. Rode back to the airstrip to load my bike and resettle at the farm. I really did intend to return for supper. My apologies to the showville group for not returning. By the time I got settled, showered and sat down, I think I was brain dead from alchohol and lack of sleep. I woke up fully rested Sat. morning and ready to ride. Sat around drinking coffee until it was daylight. I was getting ready to unload the bike and ride when it started raining. I said screw it! I hooked up to the trailor and hauled my Cranberries. Six hours later I was home and glad to be here. I'm sorry for not saying goodbye and for not sticking around to see my old friends that I went to see.  :notworthy:
Another place and another time....real soon. :thumbup:
