From Galveston to Corsicana
with an additional day to ride to Mansfield if one wishes. This
would add about 70 miles to the
total of 404 miles in 8 days
of biking. With ride to Mansfield would be about
470 miles.
By starting in Galveston we
can have the following:
1. Easy and flat all the way to
Winnie
2.Motel after the first day
(actually this means a HOT BATH)
3. Nearly all the rides are
fifty miles a day or less
4. All camping after the first
day. Cheaper. Ken and Bill if you want to join us for the whole
thing we could talk about getting rooms. With four or MORE
riders it becomes possible to share rooms and still not cost too
much.
5. Is within the riding ability
of ANYONE who wants to ride.
6. Would never be so far out of
place that we could not get a pick up if needed.
7. I will have the Camper off
the truck back at home so if needed Helen could pick up anyone.
So, I think this is a do-able
ride, good first ride for some of you, and should be a fun one.
Contact me if you want to talk about what you need to have and
what you can borrow. PG
