Texas is hot in July, there's just no getting around it. In order to go bicycling, you really need to start early to beat the heat. Today we went riding out in the country starting in Blue Ridge, TX. We started at 7am, which entailed getting up at 5am to make it. (Not that I'm complaining, some friends came from Tarrant county to join us and they got up even earlier.)
Blue Ridge is a small town, population around 800. It's in east Collin County. Our ride actually touched 4 counties: Collin, Hunt, Fannin and Grayson.
Although we've ridden this route many times before, we did have a couple of "interesting" stops... one at a historical monument for Skillet Lick (see photo), and another one at a small General Store in Trenton that had confusing business hours (see photo).
We really did manage to beat the heat and got done in time for lunch back in Blue Ridge. Their Cattleman Cafe makes a great hamburger (huge)!
