Wed-Fri Mar 23-25 2016 Golf and cycling again

Wed-Fri Mar 23-25 2016 Golf and cycling again
Wed - Basically a hangout day... beautiful sunset
Thurs - can't resist going golfing again today.. when you are paying around $50us for two of us for 18 holes on a great course including a cart on a beautiful Texas day... not much wrong with that! Had great fun and enjoyed a beautiful sunset and BBQ at the rig ... ready for another ride tomorrow
Fri - packed another picnic lunch and headed back to the Mission Trail with our bikes. Parked again at Mission San Jose and this time we turned north. We missed the Mission Conception on the way... and made it up into the Downtown San Antonio area of the River walk... didn't take in the Alamo Mission again as we have done that before. We couldn't find a nice picnic stop in that area so we headed back along the trail on a 'mission' to find the Mission Conception. It was a short ride off the trail and we were glad we found it. It is the best preserved of all the missions and we enjoyed the visit and our picnic lunch in the grounds. We headed back to the truck. It was a beautiful carefree ride of about 21 km. Mostly easy rolling ups and downs and beautiful landscape of riverside wild flowers and small dams. Lovely day. Stopped by Castroville on the way home to gas up and pick up supplies for our trip to Houston for Easter with Lisa, Mike, Jehan, Jason and Brody. Gotta take some Almond Joy Macaroons from Haby's bakery!!!
