I just got back from the inaugural Texas Adventure Ride and thought I would start a thread for those who attended to share their stories and pictures.
The final tally was 125 registered riders. I can't speak for anyone else, but I had a great time. The weather was nice all weekend, the people of Junction were very accomodating, the riding was great, and the water crossing made things even more adventurous.
Here are some various pics I took during the event.
This event was dedicated to "Uncle" - my Uncle Roger
The bluebonnets on Threadgill Rd were in full bloom. You had to see it to believe how many there were in this area.
Isaack's Restaurant had a breakfast buffet each morning for the riders. The food was excellent.
Most riders attended the rider's meeting held each day at 8 a.m. Waving at Uncle as he took the pic.
There were lots and lots of water crossings. Quite a few riders went down. One ended up with some fractured and broken bones.
Kimble County has some fun dual sport roads.
We invaded King Burger in Rocksprings at lunch on Friday. The burgers were muy excellente.
Uncle, chillin under a tree at King Burger.
Cooper's BBQ in Junction (yes, Junction) served up some BBQ Friday eveing to our group.
2 essential food groups - meat & cobbler
There is an abundance of dual sport roads like these in this area.
Bobcat and Wee crossing the Llano River
My son, Tuffy, took advantage of the pool at Hill's Motel. Sat afternoon it was sunny and mid-80s.
David & Debbie Pearson gave a presentation of their honeymoon adventure ride to Guatemala to a packed house during Saturday night's banquet.
Here's the link to all my pics
