On this day we all left from our homes and made our way South. The plan was to meet at Brady, TX for lunch at around 11.30am.
The restaurant that we had chosen was called The Locker Sports Bar and Grill. They had just opened under new management and we were quite happy with the quality of food and service. The restaurant belongs to this young couple ... the husband is the cook and the wife is up front taking care of the customers.
Shrimp was the main dish, served a number of different ways and it was very fresh and tasty.
All together we made our way more South and everything was going ok until all of a sudden Dave slows down and stops on the side of the road. His back tire had hit something and had a big slice on it. We pulled the bike to the side of the road and Dave started calling around and finally found a tire that fitted his wheel.
We took off his wheel and Greg, Paula and I made our way towards Del Rio (we were about one hour away) and Colin, Bo and Dave stayed with their bikes on the side of the road.
Greg stayed at T&T Cycles installing the new tire and I took Paula to the Best Western in Del Rio.
By the time I got back to T&T Cycles, the wheel was ready with the new tire and we must give 5 stars to the way we were treated by this motorcycle dealership. They were great !
We then made our way back to meet with the guys, put the wheel back and all together came to the hotel where we arrived just before sunset.
For the evening we went to have dinner at Don Marcelino, a Mexican restaurant which was fine.
We went to bed quite early as next morning we needed to be at breakfast at 6:30 and leave the hotel at around 7:00 as we had a long day ahead with a border crossing.
Make Life A Ride !
