Ponca Ride
Ok Ok, I've blogged about it before, the ride from the Forgot Store through the Ponca Hills and back. But I have to rave once again.. TL, JL and I parked at the Forgot Store (see previous write-up/map) on a windy late afternoon yesterday. We were all in our fall clothing gear - full pants, gloves, long sleeves/arm warmers, etc. It was a cold start, and the wind was moving pretty good on top of the ridge.
The scenery was amazing, low light casting a golden glow on the soybeans ready for harvest, wildlife (turkey vulture, white-tail deer, and cats) out on the roads. Cool fall crisp air in our lungs. Beautiful. We rode tighter in the lower flats near Boyer and talked about cycling and other endeavors.
After the 20 mile loop, stopped inside the friendly Forgot Store and had a couple home-made tacos and beans (better than Mineola or Cali Taco we decided) and a few biers. Another successful Ponca Hills loop ride!
We usually ride Tues or Thurs, all are welcome to come! It's the REAL "Taco Ride!"

This sounds really cool! Where can I look for ride postings? This blog? Also, do you mind posting the route? I'm just curious.
