Weather Report

Well, it looks like the weather is breaking a bit. This past weekend we actaully had an opportunity to ride. We had a short run up to Cumberland Presbyterian Children's Home, which is our sponsor charity, then a short ride to Decatur for Lunch. We presented the home with school supplies. This Wednesday for our dinner ride its back to the home where we will present our check from the Pass The Pigs event and the kids will provide us with barbeque. Hopefully the rain will hold off. Its supposed to rain in the am I believe.

This Saturday is the Lunch ride to Hico. That was my first group ride last year.

We have had a lot of rainfall so far this year in North Texas. We were about .25 in short of a record for June (at DFW) although some communities had much more rainfall. Most of the area lakes are full or over-capacity, well all of them actually, and many have parks and access roads closed. The water will remain high for a while, especially if we keep getting rain.

Ryan went out to check out Texoma, the Dennison Dam, where for only the third time in its history its breached its spillway. Apparently it was a bit anticlimatic as its only breached by about .10 of an inch, but we had some pretty significant rainfall last night north of the lake so it may rise a bit.

Also on our ride on Saturday, we took 720 over Lewisville lake, it was in danger of being closed and in fact Saturday night, we had some rain and they did close the road due to water.

Sat night was Cowboy's 60th birthday. We went out for a while, it was in Justin so a bit of a hike, but a good time.
