Weather looks perfect for our bicycle ride on Tuesday.
We canceled last week due to cold weather.
This week, February 6, is
our make-up day for the canceled ride to the Hidalgo Pump House. Come ride with
us, explore the area along the border where Hidalgo County gets its
irrigation water from the Rio Grande.
The Old Hidalgo Pump House is the
initial irrigation pump for the Rio Grande Valley. The Old
Pump House has theoriginal boilers and stack, and many of the engines that
drove the pumps
in the early days of irrigating the Rio Grande Valley.
We ride a short ride along the input canal, the border fence, and the levee
overlooking the storage reservoir.
The ride is less than three
miles and is mostly level with interesting scenery, some wildlife and great
fresh air.
Lunch is planned at the Republic of the Rio Grande, an
excellent outdoor dining venue if weather permits.
Otherwise we'll dine
inside and enjoy the decor.
We depart the Sandpipers gate at 9:00 a.m.
on Tuesday, February 6.
Bicycle rides are led by Tom & Louise Butler, Lot 44
