The Chapter U annual ride to Wimberly benefited from a nice south central Texas winter day and 22 folks showed up with 13 bikes and trikes for a leisurely ride route that included Purgatory Road!   We were especially glad to see some members we hadn't seen for quite a while (Kenny and Connie Jordan) and some visitors to Chapter U for the first time, Archie Haley, and Gerard and Erin Lobosco.  There were lots of leather jackets, chaps, and lots of layers of clothing present as the temperature was below 50 degrees when we took off and didn't get much higher by the time we arrived at Wimberly.  Our timing was perfect though as the Cypress Creek Cafe could deal with 22 of us at one time...right between breakfast and lunch just as we had planned it.  Coffee and breakfast soon followed with some of us taking advantage of the $2.99 breakfast special with $1.10 coffee!  By the time we left the cafe, the temperature had risen and the sunshine made it a beautiful day!  Some of the bikes took off on a ride, and some of the co-riders took off shopping while their riders "kicked the tires and told lies" (using Charlie Brown's words) in the parking lot!  The co-rider didn't take too long...the one thing about Wimberly is it is fun to window shop which helps when you are riding a motorcycle AND helps keep the charges low on credit cards!  Tony, and Cheryl Stokely and John and Judy Curtis decided to look for a road that they hadn't been on for 19 years and last time they tried it was flooded.  Mike and Eiko Mills and Jack Dowda took off for the River Road and home,  Girard and Ehren left for home.  The rest of us took off for Fisher Store Road and the Dairy Queen in Blanco,  mandatory Dairy Queen Stop accomplished we headed back down 281 toward San Antonio, with riders peeling off as the trek home continued.  Another Great Ride with Great People as always We really enjoyed the ride and camaraderie
 

Thanks to Brad and Jill Severe and Candy and Charlie Brown for serving as Leads on today's ride, and to Mike and Ako Mills, and Tony Stokeley for serving as Drags.  Olin and Martha Gover served as Super Drag so we knew our back side was well protected!   Also thanks to Charlie Brown for the safety briefing before we took off.  Last but not least, thanks to everyone who showed up with a full gas tank, a willingness to ride safe and be friendly, and to make each time we're together as Chapter U a FUN time!
