[jhansen]

I am too close not to make this one. :eat: :rider: I'm in.

[busarider1]

Love to go, but this one is a bit far. I'll have to check my schedule.

[Tourmeister]

We will do our best to be there! I might even ride :trust:

[Photojojo]

I think I'm busy that weekend... I swear one day I will make it to a pie run.

[Rocket_Cowboy]

Hmmm ... might this be my return to pie eating??? :D

[Squeaky]

Gee, I don't know if I can ride that far.... :lol2:

Make me a definite!

[wczimmerman]

List updated. Some of y'all were a guess.

[dutchinterceptor]

I've only made one so far and this one is actually a little closer to me than Hico so put me down as a maybe.

[budzrex]

Looks like a good shakedown run after the bike goes
back together

[STill Fiddlin]

I'm gonna pencil this one in... too close to miss.

[wczimmerman]

List updated again

[Greg in H-Town]

Shoot; I could about walk to this one... I'd have to make a few laps around Loop 336 just to be able to call it ride. :mrgreen:

Put me down for being there... :rider:

[FJR Bandit]

A 300 miles :rider: one-way :ponder: just for pie :ponder: and friendship :nana: ..........close enough....I'll be there.

[Snoopster]

Drats ........... I'm helping my sister move and here I thought I'd at least make this one.:doh:

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

[scratch]

Count me in for this one, Chris. :thumb:

[STrider]

Count me in for this one, Chris. :thumb:

+1.

[RECIT]

Sorry guys I have to work, and this one is actually close! Maybe next time it can be on a Sunday?

[HiSPL]

Where is this place. I looked at the website and nearly went blind with all the colors.:eek2: They don't have their address anywhere that I could find.....

[bushwhacker]

I also am going to try and make this one. I notice Squeaky is also going. I will be on the Tiger so I'll have some place for my rain gear.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[wczimmerman]

Where is this place. I looked at the website and nearly went blind with all the colors.:eek2: They don't have their address anywhere that I could find.....

3600 N. Loop 336 W
Conroe, Texas 77306

[busarider1]

Looks like I'm going to be a definite. Found a sitter for the dogs!

[Blue Bomber]

You can add me and Sarah, too. We will also have our nephew Justin with us. I'm sure he will enjoy looking at all of the bikes.

[wczimmerman]

Done deal.

[Cherioer]

The wife and I will be there.

[Texas T]

Where is this place. I looked at the website and nearly went blind with all the colors.:eek2: They don't have their address anywhere that I could find.....
If you come in from the west on 105 you will go south on the 336 Loop for about a mile. The exit to 2854 will be on your right and as you take that exit you will IMMEDIATELY pull into their parking lot.

For those coming from I-45 N you can exit at the 336 Loop and go westbound. The loop will curve north and you will want to take the 2854 exit. The exit will take you 180 degrees back to 2854, you will go west on 2854 under the 336 loop and then take the 336 loop southbound ramp as if to get back on 336. The pie shop will be on your left side just before you make the jump back onto 336.

For those coming from I-45 S you can exit at the 336 Loop and go westbound. The loop will curve south, you will cross Hwy 105 and then follow the above directions.

For those coming I-45 N or S you can exit at Hwy 105 and go westbound a couple of miles to the 336 Loop and then go south. Follow the above directions.

For those coming in on 105 from the east just stay on 105 through Conroe, past I-45 and then follow the above directions.

Questions?

And since it's close enough to walk, yeah, I'll probably be there wearing my snazzy new TWT t-shirt that arrived today.

[Gilk51]

Questions?
Will there be a cobalt blue Kawasaki Concours from the Woodlands there? :huh:

[Texas T]

That's a big maybe.

[Squeaky]

I notice Squeaky is also going. I will be on the Tiger so I'll have some place for my rain gear.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Hey, it's not me that makes it rain, it's Erik! :giveup:

[wczimmerman]

Texas T: you a maybe or definite?

[SV650rider]

Put me down as a maybe.....

[Texas T]

Texas T: you a maybe or definite? I'm a maybe. I can never confirm until just prior to an event.

[Pinwheel]

Gee....down the road.
That will be the last day of B's vacation. Hopefully we can get a sitter.
Put 2 more down as maybe.
Nancy (pinwheel) and Billy

[wczimmerman]

Sure thing.

[Faylaricia]

If I am not out of town that weekend, I'll be coming.

[SV650rider]

sorry about that, I am a maybe +1. My wife would kill me if I went and had chocolate pie without her........:hack:

[weslinder]

I'm there.

[pub610]

A pack (herd?) of us at the ETM&G in longview last night discussed tripping to Conroe. Don't know if anyone else will make it, but I've laid my plans to attend my first pie run. Ninjette's a 99 percenter.

[euromedic]

I dunno....too far for me :rofl: Lemme see if i am not working that day :zen:

[FJRMike]

hmmmmmm, dang - it's only 70 miles to Conroe for me so there goes the normal excuses.

Awww, what the heck - COUNT ME IN.

Been wanting to go to one of these for a long time.

[dutchinterceptor]

Well....
Chris, throw me on the definite list. I hope I don't jinx myself but I'm dying for a long ride.

[busarider1]

I was on the last Pie Run with Squeaky and nothing but blue sky and balmy weather!

[euromedic]

No excuses now. I am off that day so me and the wife will make it there. :rider:

[Greg in H-Town]

So, umm... just how big is this place? Sounds like we're gonna have a really good turnout.

[Houston Speed Triple]

I'm in.

[Squeaky]

Cagiva, you going to lead me up there through some easy dirt again?

[Texas T]

So, umm... just how big is this place? Sounds like we're gonna have a really good turnout.

[busarider1]

Scratch me. My boss is leaving and my unit is having a going away party for him and his wife on the 24th:doh:

[Rocket_Cowboy]

Chris ... move me to a definite along with Cass (Grrl).

[dutchinterceptor]

Pub and Ninjette,
Do y'all have a plan of attack yet?

[bushwhacker]

I am going to have to cancel on the pie run. I have about 10 things going on that day and some of them just can not be postponed.

Hopefully next time, or October, whichever is cooler.

[Grrl]

Uhh.. do I need to get "inclement weather" gear expedited?? I'm not saying the R-word!!

[terrebandit]

I'm a maybe at this point. So far so good.... :giveup:

Conroe weekend forecast (http://www.weather.com/weather/weekend/USTX0286?from=36hr_topnav_undeclared)

30% next Saturday - typical for this part of the state. Just keep thinking pie...

[Rocket_Cowboy]

Just keep thinking pie...

All I think about anymore is pie. :-D

[dbdolan]

Put me down for a maybehttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d130/dbdolan/gifs/homer2.gif.......mmmmmmmmmm pie! And maybe some dirt road exploring afterwards:rider:

Ooh, put me down for that maybe as well!

[Roodawg307]

ok i am green on this one..?...whats this pie run consist of aside from what seems to be the obvious, "eating pie"...?

sounds like this has been done before so anyone care to give me a rundown on the events of a pie run or is it simply a meet and greet..?

[scratch]

Roodawg, before you can participate in a pie run you'll have go through an initiation ceremony, perform certain rituals and learn the secret handshake. :mrgreen:

Joking aside, it's just an excuse to have a monthly meet-and-greet. Come on out and join us. 8-)

[Texas T]

Drove past there on the way home from the range today about 1 pm. They were PACKED. About 3/4 of the parking lot was full.

[JR]

Put me in the "Maybe" column....

JR

[Roodawg307]

scratch, sounds like a fun time so i will definitely try to make it...just have to get my carberator issue ironed out...otherwise my bike is ready....

[wczimmerman]

OK. List updated. Sorry for the delay: I've been in Denver all week for a training class and while I was checking email, I did not have a chance to update anything.

[rocketbunny]

I'll be there. Sounds like there's a good chance I'll get my dad to come out too.

Make it Rocketbunny +1

[txbanditrydr]

Okay.... I'm in pending a new rear tire. Hope to have it on and scrubbed in by Friday.

[james.cain]

I am on-call that day but will attend and also want to join a adventure ride once I have had my fill of pie!!!:rider:

[mapmaker]

Jan and I plan to be there. This one is to close for us to miss too!

[wczimmerman]

Got y'all added.

Is there someone local to this place that can call and coordinate our arrival? Given our large number of folks, we certainly would not want them to run out of pie! Please let me know if you can do so...

[Roodawg307]

Ok....I am in for sure.....I want to meet everyone and it sure seems like alot of people are showing up for this one...

Count me in...!!!!!

[Roodawg307]

P.S. if there is anyone who would be riding up from the katy area and would like to ride in a group, can i tag along...?

[Squeaky]

Although the list is still not nearly the 70+ that we had at the inaugural pie run, I am hopeful that there will be enough non-responders and latecomers that we might beat the record! :zen:

[Squeaky]

P.S. if there is anyone who would be riding up from the katy area and would like to ride in a group, can i tag along...?

I'm sure we'll have a West/Northwest Houston meet up point. There are some decently fun ways to get over there, depending on how early we want to get on the road.

[Roodawg307]

i think i can keep up with ya'll if ya arent riding too fast up there....

[Rocket_Cowboy]

Although the list is still not nearly the 70+ that we had at the inaugural pie run, I am hopeful that there will be enough non-responders and latecomers that we might beat the record! :zen:

I still have my name tag from the inaugural. Are you bringing more/new ones, or should I plan to bring my old one? :D

You can count me in aswell.

Just found out my dad is leaving the thursday before that, so it means i'm good to ride. Will hook up with Cindy & Chris or any one whose going in that direction and follow em.

See ya there!

[pub610]

Hi, Dutch. No plan of attack yet. Given the distance and the available time, it looks like a "deep post route" on the way down. From here that looks like 4-lanes to about Livingston and then west. Slightly more entertaining would be through the woods to Rusk, down 69 to Alto, then over to Crockett or somesuch and south. I see Jay is on the list. You guys mapped a route from Tyler?

My initial plan was to head through Crockett like you mentioned but would require hitting the road by 7am. Return trip would be a little further east and finally up through Rusk. I haven't done a lengthy trip in a while so I plan to make a full day of it rain or shine. Ooops did I say rain?

[pub610]

Dutch, Google map says 147 miles from Rusk. Wanna meet at the intersection of 69 and 84 at, say, 7:45? I can leave here by 7 easily. I figure you and bantry dr are about 40 minutes from Rusk. We can rendezvous there and race to Conroe. Rusk to Alto to Crockett and down (through Huntsville or slide over and take I-45?) if you can talk Dave into going, there should be lots of stunting opps between Alto and Crockett.

I'll give you more details on my route when I get home tonight. If Dave does any stunting on I45, he'll probably need a couple of us to block traffic as usual. I think he prefers the loop in Lufkin if I'm not mistaken. :lol2:

[wczimmerman]

936-760-3301

Who's number is this?

[Texas T]

Pie in the Sky.

[dutchinterceptor]

OK here's a suggestion if anybody from the Tyler area wants to ride for pie: We meet at the Whataburger on 69 and 84 in Rusk. Stands up at 7:45.

123 miles from Rusk to Conroe.

I planned to ride 69 from Tyler to Rusk.
23 to 294 to 3016 to 227 to 2022 to Crockett
19 to 405 to 190 to 2296 to 75 to Loop 336 in Conroe
From Conroe I was planning to meander across Lake Livingston and up near Lufkin and finally back to Rusk.

Total mileage from Tyler is 377.
Warning: I personally hate to speed but my VFR has a defect that makes it ride a few points above the speed limit.

[pub610]

Dutch, I always work a few pre-dawn hours on Saturday. KSU in Rusk at 7:45 would be swell.

[jhansen]

My daughter will be joining me on Saturday so me plus one. finally, father/daughter motorcycle ride.:clap: :rider:

I'm not going to make this one due to something that has come up on Saturday unexpectedly. I'll try to call the place tonight after work and warn them of our impending arrival.

I WILL be at Debbie's Pies in Hutto next month, though!

Plan on it Chuck. You and Susan are welcome to stop by the house again for as long as you'd like.

[mjacks]

I should be able to make it. It will be my first official pie run. Put me on the list.

[Gilk51]

Thanks, we would like to see the girls again (all 3 of 'em). The Doc told Susan yesterday that it was no riding for 6 weeks with her broken foot. BUT - July 29th *IS* at the end of the 6th week, so it might just happen!

[skiphunt]

put me down for a maybe... also, any cool places near there to camp and swim in case I don't want to take it easy getting there, and take it easy gettin' back home the next day?

Nevermind... didn't know there was a lake nearby. Looks like there's plenty of camping options at Lake Conroe.

[wczimmerman]

List updated

[skiphunt]

cool!.... the main reason I'm a "maybe" is that I was hoping to ride up to Caddo Lake and stay in Uncertain, Texas. But, it looks like there's only a difference of 57 miles if I ride to Conroe first, then up to Uncertain. I was also looking for a place about halfway to break up the drive for one night. Looks like Conroe would be perfect and about half-wayish.

[Gilk51]

I was hoping to ride up to Caddo Lake and stay in Uncertain, Texas.
I can see how, if you are going to stay in "Uncertain", that would make you a "maybe"... :lol2:

[Velocipede]

I really wanted to make this one. Due to a sudden illness in my wife's family, we will be going to Marquez this weekend. If I get the sense that a little pie and friendly faces will cheer up my wife, we will stop on the way. At first mention, she was just wanting to get up to Marquez ASAP.

Our kids will be in tow (they will be an easy sell for pie :mrgreen: ), so make that a big maybe for Velocipede + 3.

[seaeagle]

u folks ridin' up there to just to eat pie...? uh!~

[Texas T]

u folks ridin' up there to just to eat pie...? uh!~ Yep. It happens once a month here. Different location within the state each time so that folks farther away that don't want to do a long ride can participate as well.

[seaeagle]

you folks goin'...?

[dixonduke]

I will try to be there too!

Looks like quite a crowd... see you all there.

[seaeagle]

i'd like to join a few you folks on the trip up...what ya think? anybody leaving from johnson cty or fort worth area...let me know if ya have room...?

[skiphunt]

I can see how, if you are going to stay in "Uncertain", that would make you a "maybe"... :lol2:


Nice one!!! :clap:

I'd really like to make this to meet some of the folks on the forum. A little far for me though. I'll see if I can secure the proper approvals from the wife.

Not far at all. 3 weeks after buying my first bike in 25 years I went to the Marble Falls Pie Run which is about another 50-100 miles on top of the miles you'll be doing to come here. Come on down.

My wife is suppose to be coming along with me. If you want to head that way together, let me know.

[wczimmerman]

Whew! Several more updates!

[Texas T]

Whew! Several more updates! Did you notify the restaurant yet? If not, let me know and I'll get in touch with them on Thursday.

[wczimmerman]

I did try to call them this evening but never got anyone. Guess it was after closing. I'll try again during the day tomorrow.

[Gilk51]

That's better than for pickles, isn't it? Naw, it's a great reason to ride and check out a new place, swap lies with strange folk, and get your sugar fix, all in one day! ;-)

[Texas T]

They close at 6.

[loki]

My wife is suppose to be coming along with me. If you want to head that way together, let me know.

Sweet! That would be great if we can ride out together. Do you take main roads (71/21/290...) out there or is there a more "fun" route? I'll PM you so we can set a meet time/place. I have approval to go but I will say that I am a fair weather rider. I hate riding in the rain and don't have the proper gear for it either. If there is any real chance (i.e. > 30%) of rain in the forecast I'll have to bail.

Dan

[dutchinterceptor]

Pull me off the list. Unfortunately, won't be able to make this one.

[FJR Bandit]

Add a +1 to my name. My little girl wants to go with me to try out the new Wing.

[Desmo]

Add one more name to the list. Since this is close, I'll probably bring the KLR.

We are talking about doing a DualSport ride after the mass consumption of pie, in case anyone wants to tag along. It will probably be more dirt roads with little (if any) single track.

Steve

[BeemerDude]

Count me in as well.

[wczimmerman]

OK. Called the restaurant this morning and spoke with Marlene, the manager. They are excited to host our motley crew and they will make sure to stock plenty of pie. The total seating capacity (indoors) is 70, but they said that an eating time of 11AM is perfect as you will be ahead of the local rush by about an hour to and hour and a half. Please try to be ontime. Normally they have you place an order at the counter, but for us they will be taking orders at the tables.

Texas T: Can you try to meet up with Marlene sometime on Saturday and thank her for hosting us?

[bluedogok]

Remove Naomi from the list, she has a wedding at 2pm to go to that she forgot about.

[FJR Bandit]

Remove Naomi from the list, she has a wedding at 2pm to go to that she forgot about.

Was it her own.:rofl: Long story short my wife and myself almost missed our first wedding.:doh:

[bluedogok]

Nah, it's a co-workers son....I am just glad that I got out of the wedding part of it. The reception is always the better part.

We had our wedding and reception at the church, I ended up getting most of the reception setup as she was getting ready at the church well before the time of the ceremony.

[Chris-V65Magna-TX]

I was hoping to make this one, but work prevails. I'll be out flying from Thursday thru Sunday night. Have fun and take a lot of pictures!

[Texas T]

Texas T: Can you try to meet up with Marlene sometime on Saturday and thank her for hosting us? Depending upon today's interview I'm 99% sure that I'll be there, and if so I'll be sure to give her our thoughts of appreciation. If I can't make it I'll post up and someone can take over for me. Assuming that I can make it I'll get there about 10:30, find out where she wants us to park, etc. I'll even TRY to take over for Chuck and bring a notebook so that I can record what names go with what photos.

Busy Saturday:
Pie Run
GSSF match
Ham Field Day

Hey, they haven't replied on this thread but I know BlackWidow, Creos, and Marishka29 are coming so put them on the list pls.

[Texas T]

I'll take a stab in the dark here and say you'll be caging it? :doh: Yep. Until the employment issue is resolved I'm not putting a penny into the bike. Plus I get 40mpg WITH the air conditioning on in the Honda. :thpt:

However, if you're offering to let me ride yours for a while I'll bring my gear. :trust:

Count me In on this one. It'll be my first - so go easy on me.

mmmmmmm pie - must........have..........pie.........

I'll definitely go. Will there be a group ride after? Thanks Snoopster for the PM.

[TX Slide King]

After lurking around the thread for way too long, I'm for sure making run ...

[King_O_Road]

If the stars align and if I get the brakes fixed in time, I'll try to make it, so I guess that makes me a "maybe"

[190 Octane]

I'm planning on making this one.:eat:

[Gilk51]

Please add Kevin (gowest1) plus one guest into the "maybe" column - for some reason he can't reply to this thread...

[Velocipede]

I really wanted to make this one. Due to a sudden illness in my wife's family, we will be going to Marquez this weekend. If I get the sense that a little pie and friendly faces will cheer up my wife, we will stop on the way. At first mention, she was just wanting to get up to Marquez ASAP.

Our kids will be in tow (they will be an easy sell for pie :mrgreen: ), so make that a big maybe for Velocipede + 3.

Visit to Grandma's got cancelled. Change me to a definite be there, but with no extras.

[Squeaky]

BE CAREFUL EVERYONE!

Heat index is projected to be 102 on Saturday - Drink plenty of water and bring/wear sunscreen if you're planning on standing around the parking lot gawking at bikes. The pie won't melt, but we can!

[Squeaky]

SW / W / NW Houston Riders - Here is the plan if you want to ride up with the group:

8:00 KSU - Starbucks W Airport @ Hwy 6 (Inside Kroger)

8:25 Quick Stop @ Barker Cypress @ I10 for Katy Riders to fall in line

9:00 KSU - Starbucks Hwy 6 @ 290 (SE Corner)

Arrive Pie In The Sky ~10:45

102 miles from Sugarland, 86 miles from Katy, 73 miles from NW Starbucks

*KSU=Kick Stands Up - Please have a full tank at your meet-up point. If you want coffee, time to chat with others, etc. please plan to arrive early. We need to leave each point at (or close to) the specified time to stay on schedule. I don't have fancy software, so Google Earth estimated the times. The only time I've led a group to a pie run we arrived after everyone was done eating, so I've padded the times just a bit in hopes that it helps us out.

[txbanditrydr]

Drats.... bike inspection last night revealed a severely worn set of brake pads :eek2: - I'm out barring a miracle. Hate to miss this near record attendance event. :mad: Looking forward to the ride report. :thumb:

[dukey33]

please add me to the list. will be riding up with the southeast group

look forward to meeting folks and seeing the hardware.

[dhdrider]

I believe you can add myself (dhdrider) and Darrell (deepink) to the list...

[FJRMike]

Clear Lake riders - see the thread about meeting for the pie run in the "Upcoming Rides" forum.

[atomicmoondog]

Please put me down as a maybe.
Thnx,
-Rick

[Nixx]

You can put me down for myself and a +1 as well.

[Squeaky]

Hey, long time no see! Does the VFR stand up on it's own now? :lol2:

[Honu]

Put me and my better half down for some Pie :eat:

[Chatterbox]

The Big Spank Daddy and I are planning to go.

[SV650rider]

Well, I am not going to be able to make it this time. I'll try to make the next one.

[Nixx]

Hey, long time no see! Does the VFR stand up on it's own now? :lol2:

Yep, and I better not loose a kickstand bolt on this ride or I'm balming you!

Anyone else from Austin headed out there want to group up?

[Skid]

Yep, and I better not loose a kickstand bolt on this ride or I'm balming you!

Now that you bring it up, my VFR lost the kickstand bolt when I was riding with her as well. :doh:

Skid

[weslinder]

I am changing my status to a strong maybe. One of my friends wants me to go catch some snapper with him, but nothing's certain on that one either.

[dbdolan]

Move dbdolan from a maybe to a definite, I will be there.:eat:

[loki]

Anyone else from Austin headed out there want to group up?

Hi Nixx,

If rain stays out of the forecast (I'm a fair weather rider) Bluedogok and I are meeting up and heading out there. I think we plan to meet at the Diamond Shamrock on the corner of William Cannon and Woodhue (South Austin). Exact time hasn't been set yet. There's a slight (<10%) chance a friend of mine may also go.

[train460]

i should be able to make it. think i am gonna hit honea/egypt on the way up.
later

[Texas T]

Okay folks, here ya go...

PAGE WITH DIRECTIONS/PHOTOS (http://www.thorn.org/ride_062406_pie_run.htm)

For those coming in from the west on 105, Conroe PD and Montgomery County and DPS will normally be patrolling near the lake so watch your speed. There is a Kawasaki / Victory dealer on your right after you come in past the lake. It sits up about 30 feet above the road level.

For those coming to the restaurant southbound on 336 from 105, watch your speed on the exit to 2854. It is a sharp right followed by another sharp right into the parking lot.

[RadioTech]

Attention Huntsville riders:

If there is a plan to ride together, please let me know.
If not, I will wait for anyone who want to ride with me from 9:30 to 9:45am at the Citgo gas station on hwy 75 south, just before the Goree Prison Unit. Please PM me for my cell #.

[Cagiva 549]

I thought that is where I remember seeing it but the maps said otherwise so I thought I would keep my mouth shut untill I was positive . stupid computor . SEYA

[FJR Bandit]

Anyone going from the Sout....the Deep South...Victoria....Laredo....CC....McAllen????

[terrebandit]

If Dave does any stunting on I45, he'll probably need a couple of us to block traffic as usual. I think he prefers the loop in Lufkin if I'm not mistaken. :lol2:

Hey Bill, If Dutch doesn't show-up, could Jessica take his place and block traffic for me? I'd like to see if I can hold one wheel between Buffalo and Huntsville. That would be a new personal record. :dude:

See ya at Whataburger on 69/84 in Rusk @ 7:45 AM. I'll probably be there a little early

[uptoblackwood]

I'll be leaving from Richardson, Tx if anyone in the Dallas area wants to join up.

Forest

[Kevin Graulty]

Looks like I won't be working, so I'll be at the Pie Run on Saturday.

[ejk]

Please add me to the list.

Thx.

EJK

[humblerider]

Oh man! Right in my back yard and I have to work... I thought for sure I would make this one.

Enjoy the pie

[budzrex]

Invaded by inlaws, off to the local tourist traps tommorow
a day in Fredericksburg for me, have fun I will catch the next one

[Grrl]

Sick kiddo requires Mommy and Daddy to stay local tomorrow :( :( :( and I have been DREAMING about pie all week!

Better luck next go-round... I'm sure it'll be hotter than ... well you know....

Y'all have fun now, y'hear?!?

[bluedogok]

For those interested in Austin, Loki and I set set to meet up at the Valero/Diamond Shamrock station at WM Cannon & Woodhue (between 1st and Manchaca) at 7:30 and leaving about 7:45. Everyone is welcome to join us.

PS: Weather pending for Loki :trust:

[dbdolan]

I am meeting Desmo at Honea Egypt and 1488 at 10 am. in the Kroger's parking lot if any one else wants to meet up.

[STill Fiddlin]

I'm meeting a guy in Magnolia - just across the RR tracks from 1774 & 1488 around 10. Trying to divert some SW riders on the way.

[FJR Bandit]

Well I'm set to take off at 6AM - 6:15AM. :sleep: :yawn:
If you see a White Wing that looks lost :shrug: and running late:pirate: ....wave and take the lead to the pie:eat:.

[Gilk51]

a day in Fredericksburg for me
That is where we are this weekend (no bikes).
See you at the museum? ;-)

[htown71]

I'll try and meet the NW crew at Starbucks if they can keep the pace slow enough for a newbie cruiser.

Hey, sorry for the late reply, not sure what time me and the rommate (James) are headed out and we're in north Austin so maybe we'll see you on the road or maybe we can group up for the ride back..

[NUTT]

Sitting here staring at my crutches, then at my bike in the garage, then at my crutches, then at my bike in the garage. I might put on my gear, hop in the car and roll the windows down for a quick drive over to Conroe.

I'll decide if I'm going to take my half-handicapped behind over there within the next hour. Definitely no bike though :(

[NUTT]

Don't sweat it Clint. When we took that run down 2920 after lunch that day we had to keep slowing down because of those Harleys in front of us who slowed down to 45 before EVERY LITTLE CURVE IN THE ROAD!!!!

You'll do fine keeping up with anyone except the sportbikes and that is simply mechanical advantage.

[Pinwheel]

Well I missed it. B had to go to work. :(
Hope everyone had fun.

[Outlander]

I had to go to a kids Birthday party. On our way back we stopped at 2.00 pm and there was only Tod and his wife and they were leaving. He said you were about 70 people.

Oh well, next time.
