2007 Tour de Cypress, Mount Vernon, TX

I road the 45 mile bike tour in Mount Vernon on 4/14/07. 48 degrees but the scenary was beautiful. This is a smaller ride in a smaller town. I would imagine there was maybe 200 or so riders.

Everyone getting ready at the center of town

First rest stop, not the real Alamo

FM roads running around the country side

Rest Stop - WD Jack Guthrie Park which is along Cypress Lake

Me while riding

We saw lots of cows, horses, chicken farms, and goats in small farms

Very rural area, tons of small 20-30 acre farms

Crossed over the I30 freeway back into town

Final 10 mile stretch back into town

Downtown is just 2 miles away

Pulling into the center of Mount Vernon

Free Hamburgers for us riders

Old Courthouse in the town square, looks like Back to the Future courthouse
