Nice lookin group of bikes!

I managed to complete my first group ride. It was called the Greenhorn Ride and initially we were going to ride to Groene Tx. But due to a later than planned get off and the weather being cloudy and windy, we changed plans and went to San Marcus. I believe there were 24 that participated. We lunched at Herbert's Taco Hut, then on to Wimberley for a break and gas up at Maui Wowee, and back to Akins High School in Austin where we met.

I really had a good time and met some wonderful people to ride with. My bike started cutting out on me between San Marcus and Wimberley. Thanks to some of the guys investigative work, it turned out to be loose connections on the battery. Got that tightened up and had no more problems. Sure am glad I was not on my own! And the next time they have a maintenance day, I plan on attending!

There was a fellow rider named Tarra, who has the same bike as mine. She is new to riding, having gotten her license 2 months ago and has only logged 100 miles on her bike so far. She has the 2008 model, so hers is black (she's the one riding the cones). I hope to get to ride with her and her boyfriend some on weekends. They live on the south side of Austin also.

Thanks for sharing with me.....
