Good Enuff

The plan for today was to ride up to the Dallas area to meet another old college friend and his wife for lunch, and then to just head east.   Basically the plan worked, but there was a surprise when I walked out to my bike in the morning and found it covered in icy frost. So after getting most of the frost off, I headed out in 32 degree temps for Dallas. It was chilly , but heated handle grips and seat helped a lot. The ride wasn't bad and then I hit Dallas. Since it was Sunday morning, traffic wasn't terrible, but going through the heart of Dallas is still a challenge. I did survive though, and had a good visit and lunch with people I don't get to see much.  From there, the best way to get out of the city and headed east was to get on an interstate.  I hadn't really mapped out a route, but thought that I could probably figure something out once I got far enough away from Dallas.  As it turned out, once I got settled into the interstate, it was just easier to stay on it and keep going. It's really not that interesting, but you do get a lot of miles covered. In the end, it wasn't great, but it was good enough. I'm going to try and figure out something better for tomorrow.
