We only rode about 50 miles round trip. That was fine since we were seeing pockets of rain clouds scattered around. We only got sprinkled on one time the entire evening somehow managing to ride in between the pockets of rain. There were some wet roads from showers in one area that left quite a bit of standing water. At one point we had to make a turn off the road coming down a hill on a wet road. I heard a skidding noise and looked in my mirror to see Margaret getting a bit sideways while trying to stop. She did well though, let off the rear brake which brought the bike back into line. She didn't panic, knew how to handle the situation, and the crisis was averted.
I decided to go past the turn since the skidding caused her some issues in slowing down. I didn't want her to skid more while trying to slow down too fast or turn too wide and have an accident. We just eased to the side of the road past our turn, made a u-turn, and continued.
Del Norte
We arrived in Godley and ate at the Del Norte Taco restaurant. They seriously have the best tacos I've ever eaten. The line to order was 10 people deep so we had a seat and waited for it to subside. It took quite a while as more people kept coming but it was nice to relax and enjoy the evening with Friends. As usual, the tacos were wonderful and we spent a couple of hours there having a good time. Alas, all good things come to an end, night fell upon us and we still had to ride home. So we parted ways on full stomachs and good memories and headed home in the quiet of the night.
