On my recent trip back to Texas to see my parents, and get some bike riding done. I took the CX bike to take advantage of all the dirt road mileage that is available right out my parent's front door. I was blessed with slightly damp to muddy conditions the first day. This is a gauntlet thrown down my Mother Nature that could not be refused. My Dad decided to load up his two dogs and be a follow vehicle. He is an excellent moto-pacer, but today's course did not allow for speeding inches behind a farm truck. Maybe next time. We headed out on roads that I have driven tractors, combines, grain-trucks, cars, farm trucks, but never a bike. This was a new and interesting way to see the country that I knew, or did I know? Riding a bike is one of the most intimate ways to see country, and I was now seeing my home with new eyes.
