It has been a while since I wrote anything about any MC trips that I have taken. Today the wife and I along with some friends decided to take a ride out to Bryan/College Station to the Independence Harley dealer and then over to a place called
Yankee Tavern . However, today was not the best time to ride, although I enjoyed the time we spent with our friends. Every time we go out it is an adventure and every adventure has good parts and bad parts. In Texas if you don't like the weather stay around for 10 minutes and it will change. That is what happened to us. We left the house to meet everyone and it was humid and balmy. While we drank our coffee and waited for everyone to show up for the ride, the wind picked up and the rain started, then the cold front blew threw. So now it was windy, rainy, and cold. None of us wanting to back down we headed out for good or bad. The ride would have been fine except we all drove sideways because of the 30-40 MPH cross wind that we battled on our way over there. Regardless of the weather we made it to the dealer and we took a break to warm up and look around. As usual I didn't get out of the store without spending my standard $100 on stuff.

Then it was on to the tavern, this place is really neat, they have several acres out back with several BBQ pits, a pond, lots of tables for eating and drinking. I talked with one of the locals and he was telling me they let people camp out on the land and they have showers for people who stay the night. It is only a short 2 hour drive from Austin and would be a nice place to go for a night out with the boys or just to stop in and have a burger and good conversation. All in all we had a great time and are looking forward to going back.
