    Two 50CC Rides Complete And Two BBG1800's

    I normally take the 1604 loop around San Antonio but this time I stayed on I-10 as it was Saturday night and the 1604 loop has a lot of restaurants and bars along it and I did not want to get caught up in that traffic. The I-10 route through the city is about 5 miles longer I think.
