SSOM may 2015

I’m sure most of you have ridden through Glen Rose, Texas; the “Gateway to the Hill Country.” It is a beautiful town with a river road that runs along the south side. If you are looking for a short holiday, there are rustic accommodations such as; “Barnard River House” or the “Inn On The River.” Beside the usual eateries on US-67, you can step back in time at the “Riverhouse Grill.” I can attest to a robust and delicious menu they serve. Glen Rose is one of the little jewels that we often overlook as we pass by, headed towards points beyond.

No Motorcycles

Now that is no way to start a SSOM. No motorcycles! What’s up with that? Ok, simmer down; I’m only trying to get you to pay attention. I am about to share with you a fun time I had one spring-break day earlier in the year.

Fossil Rim Wildlife Center

You can’t ride your motorcycle through the park. If you go there you’ll understand and agree, there shouldn’t be motorcycles scaring the wildlife. Many will walk right up to you, but not if you're gunning your engine.

As luck would have it, there are a variety of tours available. So ride to the park and park it. Fossil Rim Tours.

PIE - O'lay!

Hang out with a gaggle of bikers and holler out, “Who wants pie?” See what happens. More ears will perk up than a herd of wildebeest when a pride of lions approach. The old cup-o-joe and a piece-o-pie becomes the hot topic of the day. The question then morphs into, where is it and how long will it take to get there? My answer is, the Pie Peddlers, on the square in Glen Rose Texas.

Rhonda, Jean, and their team, make pies fresh on location. You can get cream pies most anywhere. They have plenty of those. They don’t stop there. How about a good Pumpkin pie? Maybe Buttermilk, Lemon Chess, Chocolate, Key Lime, Pecan? Do you like berry pie? How about Apple, Peach Blueberry, Strawberry Rhubarb or my favorite, All-Berry? There’s more but I’m running out of room. Do yourself a favor and stop at the Glen Rose Town Square and get yo’self a slice o’pie.

Well buckaroos, if you’re not sold on a stop in Glen Rose by now, I doubt you’ll ever be. If y’all want to see some of their pies in color, check out the May SSOM online.

Until then;
ride often, ride hard and ride safe, but mostly ... Ride em if ya go em!
