What the hell are you doing NE if you're stationed at Lackland? Traffic isn't really that bad there, but still. That's a drive.
Sorry....I don't know anything about bike nights. Lori(Skiergirl) would probably know better than any of us.  |
I'm in Valencia, I think. Off Nacodoches a couple miles south of the 1604.
Honestly, we wanted to be closer to Lackland (I have about a 40-minute drive each way), but couldn't find a house we really liked down there. That's part of the reason I'm looking at race take-offs for the bike; it's a lot of freeway travel, and the 636 just gets WAY better gas mileage than my F-150.
I ride to work as often as possible, but that still only means 1-2 times per week. Between PT schedules and having to haul lots of stuff I can't take on the bike, I end up taking my truck or the wife's Kia a lot. Someday when we have money, I'd like to get a sport-touring rig with some luggage to make the commute easier on my old knees and let me carry more stuff.
For now, though, the wife is still looking for a job, so my salary is what we're living on. That means no new toys for a while, which also means the wife has no bike for now.
