Friday Night Ride

5/18/2012
OOOOOOklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain. Well the song is right, it was very windy when we left Duncan on Friday afternoon.


We were riding up to Oklahoma City to meet some friends for dinner. We decided not to take the interstate since it was so windy.
We saw hay fields that were waiting to be baled.

Wheat fields waiting to be harvested

Then came the Visual Pollution!!! Can you believe that is even a term we have now?




 After a very windy ride we arrived at the restaurant they had chosen for this FNDR. Keith and I had never eaten here but we will go back it was wonderful food and very clean.


 They have breakfast food, Chinese, and Vietnamese. Next time I am going to try the Pho ( noodle soup) or the make your own spring rolls. We met with 8 friends and a couple of grand kids. Had a wonderful visit. It is always fun to get to know new people.
After everyone went their own ways Keith and I got a wild hair and decided to go and find the waffle truck. We had seen an article in the newspaper and wanted to try out their waffles. You have to follow them on Facebook to find out where they are going to be. They have 3 savory and 3 sweet waffles and the menu changes every month. Since we had such a wonderful dinner we decided to get a sweet one. We got in the long line and waited. Had a wonderful visit with the people behind us. Turned out they rode bikes as well and she had just gotten her "M" endorsement. (Not for me remember I am the B on back) We placed our order and the couple behind us placed theirs and then......the waffles were sold out. Boy was I glad we got in line when we did. The waffle was worth the wait.


By this time it was time to start the windy ride home. We went down the new I40 and beside the Scissortail Fly Catcher.



An awesome sight after dark.
 The ride home was uneventful except for the truck that didn't want to drive the speed limit and tried to make us a hood ornament.
View from the Back!
Until next time.

So wonderful to read someone else's perspective of riding on the back. I am with you on the plan "b". I love being the back seat driver. I also appreciate that you liked the scissortail downtown. I thought it was breath taking the first time I saw it. So glad you guys made it to the FNDR. Sorry I was a little busy playing grandma. (love it). See you guys when we get back from Red River. Ride safe.
