Yep
How long have you been in Texas? As you know, summers up here are quite nice except for this year. Too much rain, wind, and cool temps. Tomato plants suffered tremendously due to the coolness. I think in June we set an unofficial record for thunderstorms. I usually ride about ~2,500 miles during the riding season but am struggling to get to 2k this year. Unless we get a prolonged fall with reasonable climate, I may not make it.
Having a bike here is certainly an advantage over renting one. I used to travel to OKC alot and I tried to rent a bike there. The bike stores laughed at the request and told me that it is illegal for them to rent bikes...something about law suits, guns not a problem though. I thought I would buy a scrapper on Craigslist for $10 and at the end of the week give the bike back to the seller. He'd make 10 bucks and could resell it. Still an option if I start traveling there again.
Let me know if you do, maybe we could hook up for a ride.
