As usual Keith Burgess-Jackson gives a stirring report on his ride experience. His blog reports:<\/p>\n
“This morning, in beautiful Mineral Wells, Texas, I did my 23d bike rally<\/a> of the year and my 444th overall. Once again, the weather cooperated. Actually, the weather did more than cooperate; it delighted us. The autumn sky was clear blue; the temperature was mild (albeit chilly at the start); and there was only a touch of wind. My friend Randy showed up, as he did a week ago in Glen Rose. My other so-called friends, namely Joe, Phil, and Julius, wimped out, as is their wont. A friend, in case you haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t heard, is someone you know real well but like anyway. A good<\/em> friend is someone you know real well and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t<\/em> particularly like, but hang around with anyway.”<\/p>\n link to his full account<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As usual Keith Burgess-Jackson gives a stirring report on his ride experience.
