The alternate alternate pie...err....chilly...oh wait, chili too run took Tony and I to aforementioned Yankees Tavern, since we felt it was the closest option to warm up. We were the first bikers there, and thus they opened for us. Combine hot cocoa, a hot firebox, and some chili; and frosty finger tips and frozen toes were quickly dispatched into distant memory. We ended up staying until about 1130, and were the only bikers there until we left...when a guy from London England and a gal from Florida just pulled in on their Harley. For the uninitiated, Yankees at noon on a saturday is usually packed.
Yup, still cold. Thanks for pic Tony
Regardless, we settled the bill and went via FM 3090 back to Anderson, and then took the scenic route to Holders in Dobbin. There we had a most scrumptuous lunch of burgers and copious amounts of iced tea while sittin inside. The wind was still cold, but at least it was a bit warmer riding. And wouldn't you know, Texans coach Gary Kubiak joined us for lunch! Ok, not exacly. Him and family (i presume) filled up the table next to us. He kinda had the aura of dont bother me, and we respected his and his family's time together.
While we were dissappointed to miss all of you, the day was not lost and we had a good time and lived to tell about it.
Edit: Heated vest purchased, heated glove liners forthcoming
