Helotes Ride Report #1

Di Anna and I drove from the hotel in San Antonio to Helotes and parked across the road from Floores Country Store. Unpacked the bikes and headed over to Scenic Loop Rd. The ride was great - we had some low water corssings that were a bit high, and plenty of the short hilly stuff in the 8-12% - Di Anna was hungover and turned around into a stiff breeze at the Scenic Loop Cafe. I continued on looking for the airport, and then found myslef in Boerne (there's a fantastic dance hall here) and turned around at I-10. Took the Babcock-Cielo Vista Loop and encountered more incredible hills - just lots of stingers with occasional 15% grades. After the ride we went Floores Country Store and had a burger and a beer!
