Pedal to Padre 2011...

Pedal to Padre is an annual bike tour that goes from Brownsville to South Padre Island.  This event is fun because around 900 riders attend it.  It's awesome to see so many cyclist on the road.  I like to start in the back of the group and maneuver through the hundreds of rider like a car racing game.  I went with Adrian, Arlene and Cindy.  I pushed them to stay on my wheel and set a fast pace. They are definitely getting a lot faster being able to stay up with the group.  We made it to the beach in 1 hr 15 minutes. Then we had to wait about 2 hrs for all the riders to come in so we could cross the Queen Isabella Causeway.  They have to shut down the whole road in order for the thousand bikers to pass.  Billy and I gunned it... We were the first two cyclist to get to the island conquering that bridge!


Me pushing Cindy to keep going.
