Biking at Stahmann's

The Pirate Dogs invited a lot of their family and friends to go on a bike ride at Stahmann's Pecan farm Saturday July 3. Even though they didn't make it (too hard to pedal with dog legs), their parents did. So here are some pictures:

The invite said we'd bike through the orchard but it was really 5K down the highway and back. First the State Police shut down the southbound lane of N M Highway 28.

Some groups were decorated and ready to go:

One kid had a cool bike seat up in front of her dad:

Our dad was ready to roll:

This kid had a great bike----Tonka!!!!!

All we can say is "Tonka Trucking!!!!!"

So away the bikers go, down Highway 28 past the Stahmann Pecan Store and Gift Shop.

There were around 150 bikes that did the ride. This is an idea how it looked:

And though it was just before noon on a hot Saturday and we didn't go into the actual orchards, the ride was mostly on road like this:

Serious tree roof, baby!!!!

Hope next year they let us ride in the orchards on those dirt roads they use for machinery and along the irrigation ditches.

But definitely a ride worth taking. Joining us next year????
