Bike Riding in the Pines, Photos

Today was Pedal Through the Pines, a bike ride to benefit the Family Crisis Center. We help with this event every year. The staff at the Center work hard on this project. It takes a great deal of planning and work. On Friday, I helped a little by helping with food and packaging. Gene helped with the signs and getting the routes ready.

Today we went about 6 a.m. to help again. I help check in the riders and Gene is a SAG car driver. Today was a great day. Warm and cloudy. Perfect for the ride. There were about 1200 riders, about 400 more than last year I think. If you like to bike and want to support a great agency, check it out for next year. It is the first Saturday of March every year. Pre register on line and come to Bastrop for a great day.

Early in the morning with a few riders at the start.

Not many people there yet.
