60 miles from home to starting point and then the group ride to lunch. Anyone know where Peaster is? We do now. Rainmaker took us down some great back country roads - the ones that no one drives down unless they live there, are visiting someone who does, or are hopelessly lost. We weren't lost. We had GPS. The lunch portion Chicken Fried Steak satisfied the tummy if not the mouth. Ever had orange cake? Our "waitress" forgot to mention the freshly-prepared coconut cream pie. Of all the rotten luck! Then we took highway 4 from Palo Pinto down to 281 where Sidecar went north and Rainmaker and I went south to refuel at I-20. Rainmaker took I-20 east. I retraced 4 back to Palo Pinto with a detour to the Lake Palo Pinto Causeway (now that I've done it, I can honestly say no one else really needs to...) 180 east from Palo Pinto through Mineral Wells (does anyone know the history of the defunct Baker Hotel?) and Weatherford to 20 to 30 to Green Oaks to White Settlement across downtown FTW to 35W to Denton and 380 back to Frisco. Almost 10 hours, 340 miles, 100 degree heat (a sprinkle or two would have been OK
), good guys, good food, good ride. When's the next one? I'm ready.
