Booked

This is where we're staying for our anniversary trip. Here is the itinerary:

1. Drop off kids.
2. Drive to KATY Trail trail head.
3. Ride bike, stopping at various points along the way including places to eat.
4. Check in.
5. Shower.
6. Visit winery.
7. Go to dinner here, where I will have to drink the Tannhauser Pale Ale because of that damn Pengelly.
8. Relax.
9. Wake up, eat breakfast, wander town.
10. Ride our bikes back to our car.

Total mileage, not including off the trail riding through the town, 47 miles, round trip. That's nothing. I've decided that, in addition to my patch kit, I think I'm bringing a bunch of tubes. I figure it will be faster to swap tubes and fix later than to try and find a leak on the trail.

I think we'll buy a quick swap rack for the wife's bike and I'll lug a backpack. I just hope after a day of bad eating and beer drinking that I'll be able to make the final climb back up to my car. It's only 1/4 of a mile, but it's a bitch of a quarter of a mile when you're stuffed with cheese.
