Laserpat and TxDeb are home. We took TP and Nancy to SA to see the Alamo and eat some Mexican food before their flight. I told him Pee Wee Herman's bicycle was in the basement of the Alamo and he believed me. Grin

Lyn-Del and Wizard both arrived safely home, about 26 hours apart!!

I hated to leave early, but it was the best compromise I could come up with to do everything that was on my schedule for the weekend.

Plus, it was a grand reason to ride almost 600 miles round trip to spend some time with friends!

I had to leave the ride early to complete my weekend agenda (catch a little of the church bazaar and see the grand daughter on Sunday at SFA). Got it all done and at the same time beat everyone home. I really enjoyed the portion of the ride I got to participate in and the exceptionally friendly atmosphere by all. Thanks to Mark for the hard work and inspiration and hope to introduce myself to more friendly Valkers next time and finish the ride.
                                                                             Thanks Again,

After a late breakfast, our standard Austin detour, and some family visiting time, we made it back home around 11 last night.  It was good to see everyone, and it looks like we had the perfect weekend as far as weather is concerned.
I'm glad everyone had a good time.  We'll see ya'll on a meet in the middle ride soon.
