[Red Brown]

Howdy,

I plan to be there along with several other riders from Austin. We plan to meet at the Scooter's Coffee Shop on Far West Blvd. in Austin at 7:30am. We would enjoy having other riders join us for the scenic route.

We plan to take 290 to Elgin, then take 696 from there passing through Lexington then west of Lake Somerville on 1697. The route is exactly 100 miles based on the GPS map.

The weather should be cooler by then too...

Red

[Squeaky]

Wow, Red's got it all together!

I'm in! Need More Pie!

[beverly200rider]

Howdy,

I plan to be there along with several other riders from Austin.

Got the group invite today, Red. I'll be there. Steve's still not ready for a long distance ride yet, but he's enjoying the daily commute to work again.

[mjacks]

Got the group invite today, Red. I'll be there. Steve's still not ready for a long distance ride yet, but he's enjoying the daily commute to work again.

It is pretty early so put me in the maybe column.

[db]

Put me and Angelita down as 'maybies' for now :trust:

[kurt]

I'm a maybe.

[rgatling]

I'm in!

[jhansen]

Sounds like a plan! I am in.:eat:

[RosscoB]

For the first time ever I can say confidently.

I AM IN!!!! :eat:

[dukey33]

I like that place. I told my wife I'd have to take her there sometime. This could be it.

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

[Snoopster]

I'm in as well. :rider: :eat: :rider:

[Skid]

I'll be there!

Skid

[wczimmerman]

More additions made to the list!

[roundblack]

I'm in.

[beagleracing]

Lord willing, I'm in! :eat:

[bluedogok]

Sign up Naomi and I as a definite.

[budzrex]

Missed the last few, but not this one
Count me in :rider:

Ok, I'll pack my wet-weather gear... :storm:

[JacknTexas]

I am in and wife is a probable. -----We have her on the disabled list but her rehab is going well. I dont think she will have to spend any time in AAA before returning to the majors. (baseball joke)

[budzrex]

Ok, I'll pack my wet-weather gear... :storm:


I just knew that was coming, if it does rain it can wash off
the dust on the Hall of Fame goodies I still have for you :lol2:

[T'sipper]

Add me to the list..
Tsipper

[kschop]

as of right now I plan on attending! I'm down here in san marcos, so anyone in the area want to meet up to ride together,:rider: , PM me.

cheers,

kirk

[Squeaky]

I just knew that was coming, if it does rain it can wash off
the dust on the Hall of Fame goodies I still have for you :lol2:

Initially I had a ride planned for this morning heading out to Fayetteville. I was going to see if you wanted to meet over there...

I changed the route (shortened it to only 200 mi round trip) so we weren't going that far out. Apparently Mother Nature didn't sense anything had changed, so we all got soaked just getting to the start of the ride. :giveup:

[budzrex]

I saw that this morning and got one of those strange
looks from my wife when I told her I was thinking about
riding out to Fayetville to meet a young lady for lunch ;-)

Then I reminded her of the Hall of fame goodies and she
just laughed and said no girl in her right mind would ride
in the rain to buy me lunch :lol2:

I assumed she was correct again :trust: , and took her
out to the Grist Mill instead.

[budzrex]

Kirk, I will be heading out of New Braunfels, feel free to join up if you
want. I have a few different ideas for my route in mind

[Merlyn]

I'm off that week, so pencil me and my wife Caliann in. She gets her M/C license the week before the run :: grin ::

Merlyn

[kschop]

sounds great, budzrex! Pie, here we come! :eat:

[Merlyn]

Silly new guy question about the pie run:

Is the idea we all meet up somewhere and ride to Brenham for pie, or meet up in Brenham, eat and then waddle out to the bikes to ride somewhere else?:eat:

Just curious

Merlyn
To quote some members here..."It's not the ride, it's the Pie!" Groups tend to form about a week out, meet somewhere, pick a route leader (usually the last one to show up FYI), and ride to pie. Waddle out to the bikes after is the norm.:trust:

[Squeaky]

You can ride with a group there if you need/want, you can ride out afterwards with a group (they tend to form during lunch and in the parking lot).

It's really an easy-going day, and you just do whatever you'd like!

[Dragwn]

I would like to hit this one since it is another place I haven't been...but I found a Juvinile Diabetes Walk that is going on the 30th, So I'll be doing a walk to burn the calories everyone else is putting on :mrgreen:

[NUTT]

I'm a strong maybe for my first pie run!

[D'artagnan]

I'm in!

We filled the restauants in Conroe and Hutto (Pie runs 6 and 7). This place boasts seating for 200. Gonna need a good turnout!

[Littlejohn64]

Crud!
Ill be in Burnet TX that weekend for an SCRC event. Ill be out riding the 3 sisters that day if all goes as planned.

[wczimmerman]

List updated

[weslinder]

I love that area. I'm going to try to make it. Plus a friend, Josh, who's not on the site. (Both maybes.)

[FJR Bandit]

Well, I missed the last one do to working in AZ.:-(

I'll be back from AZ. :) And it is before I go to NM for 10 months. :pray: Put me down as a maybe.:shrug:

[rodriguez_slowpoke]

Sign me up! I'll likely join the Austin group.

[King_O_Road]

I'll be there, any other "North Austin" / L-CP / G-Town / groups forming up?

[rodriguez_slowpoke]

I'll be there, any other "North Austin" / L-CP / G-Town / groups forming up?

How is it going, KOP? I can probably meet up with you and then we can try to meet up with the main Austin group leaving out of Scooter's Coffee Shop. The alternative would be to have a "North Austin" group meetup and make it to Brenham from there. However, it sounds like the Austin group has a route all planned out. I'm cool with either option.

--Bernardo

[FJRMike]

missed the last one but count me IN on this one.

Should be a group of us from the Clear Lake area riding up.

Pie.....is.....good.

[rgatling]

Bernardo,
If you and KOR want to ride together, I've got a route that is similar to Red Brown's to Brenham. Either way is fine with me.

[Gixxer Geezer]

Put me down as a "Yes"... unless it rains... no more rain for me thanks..


Jim:rider:

[rodriguez_slowpoke]

Bernardo,

Good to hear from you, Roy. I'm now thinking that it may be better to have a "North Austin" group as we will probably have to get up a little earlier to make the Austin group meet at 730AM. I'm open to both, but if I can sleep in a little longer that's not a bad thing. :mrgreen:

[randy-r]

Have to say maybe right now.

[budzrex]

Hey Roy I may try to route my ride to intersect yours along the way

[Marko]

The yard pass is official. Count me in!

[cdc]

Have read a lot about these "Pie Runs" and would try to make it.
Is there a group from West Houston planning to ride together?
Or maybe a suggested route?
Thanks!

Camilo

[Squeaky]

Is there a group from West Houston planning to ride together?
Or maybe a suggested route?

Probably, but too soon to say when & where it will be. Keep an eye out here and also in the "Upcoming Rides, Trips, and Events" section for something Houston-specific in the next week or so.

[Lee]

This looks like a good time for me to get back into playing in the streets with yall. It'll give me a chance to get outta town on the Katana I just bought for a daily ride. I may even have to buy budzrex a hunka pie for weaseling out on the last ride he set up.

[Chatterbox]

Chris and I just might make this one: 1) It's close to home AND our youngest just moved there - a "convenient" potty break!! ;-)

I can just picture it now: 10-20 motorcycles pulling up into her nice, tame, quiet apartment complex - all of us heading (full gear) to her apartment - What an item for gossip the residents would have! :eek2: :trust: :rofl:

[King_O_Road]

Bernardo,

Sounds good to me too... post up the meeting spot and time and I will be there...

Good to see you around Bernardo....

[beagleracing]

Post it up! RosscoB and I will probably be riding together, too (maybe mine and his wife, too).

Austin mount up!

[rgatling]

Bernardo, KoR, Beagleracing, Buddy, others

Let's meet at the Round Rock Golden Chick parking lot by 8:00. This gives Bernardo 30 minutes more to sleep ;-) This location is about 1 block east of IH35 on 620. The parking lot is large and flat.

Stands up by 8:15. We should be able to meet with Red Brown's group in Lexington around 9:30 and ride into Brenham together.

Buddy, it would be great to meet up on the trail.

Lee its about time you get out, Roy I will map out my route to hook up with you guys I will probably angle cross country and meet up along the way. I drive I-35 all the time dont care to ride it when I am having fun

[Lee]

You know how I am when left to my own devices. It's good to have ya back around to keep me on the somewhat straight and narrow.

You got that one right, Roy; I need my beauty sleep. :-P I look forward to seeing all.

[FlyonWall]

Two more yes's.

[04 TRIPLE SE]

Count me as a "maybe".


Paul R.

[pkiser]

Put me on the list as a YES and the wife too.

[STrider]

I am a "m".

[Gilk51]

Perhaps you need a "thinking about it" category? I be one of those...

[NUTT]

I'm upgrading from a "maybe" to an "I'm in".

I'm in Tomball/NW Houston and looking for a group to ride over with. I'll check back in a week for groups.

[edmart001]

Please count my wife and I in as "may-be". I will be returning from an international trip late the night before so jet lag and honey-do list may preclude the ride. IF we go, we'll be riding from home in Katy and would be willing to meet up and ride with a group.

[STill Fiddlin]

High maybe. I'll be at the Komen Race for the Cure downtown Houston early, but should be able to get on the road around 9:30 and shoot straight up 290. Save some pie.

[deepink]

I'll be there. Anyone from this area looking to group it to Brenham, or meet along the way?

[Nixx]

Put me down as a maybe.

[wczimmerman]

List updated and edits made.

[humblerider]

I'm in 2 up

[Achim]

Please put me down as a "maybe".

Achim

[wczimmerman]

[skiphunt]

put me down as a "maybe" but very likely. :-)

[dbdolan]

Put me down as a maybe. Any other dual sporters out there want to find some dirt roads there and back?

[Squeaky]

As long as they are DS-noob friendly, Im in! :rider:

[dbdolan]

As long as they are DS-noob friendly, Im in! :rider:
Yeah should be very easy, well maintained dirt county roads should be plentiful up that way. I need to look at the maps and see what would look fun. Do you have any ideas? I know most of the ones from north of Montgomery west to highway 6 but after that I need to study the maps.

[Squeaky]

Do you have any ideas?

No clue. I just follow.
I've got Tourrances on the Strom, so no deep sand or mudholes please!

[donroger1]

Please place me on the "Maybe" list.

[kurt]

I'm out. They delayed the start date of our new work schedule. I have to work now.

[Merlyn]

Any groups planning on starting in or riding through Bryan/College Station?

Merlyn

[smithr]

Man this is a tough one. I guess put me as a maybe. I have to talk my son into it and be back for the UT game but that is not till 6pm. I will work on the boy :P piiiieeeee

[FJR Bandit]

I'm off work until I leave for New Mexico. So I'm now a positive.

[cdc]

Have read a lot about these "Pie Runs" and would try to make it.
Is there a group from West Houston planning to ride together?
Or maybe a suggested route?

I am still in the maybe list, waiting to see if there's a group from this side of town (West Houston / Katy) planning to ride together . . .

Thanks,

Camilo

[texasred]

Put Flattop and myself down as positively pie eaters from tyler. That would be PPEFT.

[pub610]

Set two more places for dinner ... or at least for pie.
Ninjette and I are coming down from Kilgore. If we hit the road at deer-thirty:eek2: , we should make it in time for eats.

[Gilk51]

Please take me off the "maybe" list - got too much to do Saturday & can't be gone all day. Maybe I'll make another one this year... :-(

[Dirtrideroader]

Put me down as a possible maybe. Depending on if my young passenger get's her camo colored cast off.

[bushwhacker]

I plan on trying to make this for the pie and the company (mostly the pie).

Unfortunately I will be in the Jeep!

Hey, if we DS it, you want to come with us? We shouldn't be doing anything that a Jeep can't do (otherwise me & the Strom can't do it!)

dbdolan, any plans yet?

I have had this thing a year and the only dirt it has been on has been in parking lots and 4 wheel drive twice to jump curbs so yeah, I am ready to get it dirty.

-

[King_O_Road]

well life has delt me a pair of aces, and itself a full house. :doh:
I have to bow out of the ride, as I won't be in town...

Next time I guess....

You guys from North Austin and LCP and G-town have a good ride with out me...:rider:

[FJRMike]

looks like great weather for a pie run!!

[Desmo]

Yes, should be great weather. Put me down as a probably.

Will more than likely ride with the DS group from NW Houston. Any plans yet Bryan? I have and old friend who has a big farm just north of Brenham. I could probably talk him into letting us ride around his property after pie. We used to have a neat dirt (MX) track there but it has been a while since it was maintained. Let me know if any interest in going there.

Steve

[Nixx]

Ok, unless something goes wrong on Friday I'm in, maybe with a +1. I was planning on meeting up with the Austin group at the coffee shop on Far West, assuming that’s still happening.

See you there!

[Cagiva 549]

I probly will ride over , would take some of the dirt roads but then everybody else would have to eat dust . There's nothing exciting on any of them , they just get your bike dirty . Could go past the nudist camp over by Navasota . Maybe pavement this time . SEYA

[Faylaricia]

I'm upgrading from a "maybe" to an "I'm in".

Why don't you two try to hook up and make out a meeting spot. I am sure some others will join you or just show up. Post it and they will come. ;-) :rider:

[chiricahua]

OK I was hoping for a MX fix close to Austin but it doesn't look good.

Put me down as a maybe.

I'll be heading out from North Austin. Prolly meet up with one of the two Austin groups heading out in the A.M.

[dbdolan]

Hey, if we DS it, you want to come with us? We shouldn't be doing anything that a Jeep can't do (otherwise me & the Strom can't do it!)

dbdolan, any plans yet?
Been crazy this week at work, I am just now starting to look at google earth for some dirt roads up to Brenham. Maybe Desmo can help us find the ones we did the other day that took us to Hempstead.

[texasyankee]

I'm finally going to make one. Mark me as certain.

There are two Austin groups riding? Where do I find that?

Likely, I'll just ride alone... but I'm curious about the groups, ie. where? what time?

Red Brown has a group meeting at Scooter's coffee shop on Far West at 7:30. He replied immediately after WC posted this Pie Run.

I have a few guys meeting in Round Rock at the Golden Fried Chicken parking lot, on 620, just east of IH35. We're meeting at 8:00.

[smithr]

I am still unsure :( dang teenagers Maybe I should buy my son his own motorcycle. My ex would think that was almost as grand as when I bought him a 100 watt guitar amp for his birthday :)

[wildebube]

I'm also unsure, but I want to throw in a minor hijack here. I saw Kemah mentioned in the chowder thread and coincidentally, I got an email from my brother today telling me that an old friend of mine, Tony Campesi, is playing at 9:00 PM on Saturday in the Kemah Jazz Festival. Are any of you SE Texas folks going to Kemah after you fill up on pie? If I can work it out with the family weekend schedule, I just might try to fit in some pie and jazz.

[Marko]

Any non DS groups starting or passing through the NW Houston area? I would like to join up!

[pub610]

My brief blush of optimism has faded. Ninjette and I are out.:-(

[FJR Bandit]

You can add another 3 to 5 to my name. My wife and so of my Blue Knight brothers and sisters will be joining me.

[dukey33]

... Are any of you SE Texas folks going to Kemah after you fill up on pie? If I can work it out with the family weekend schedule, I just might try to fit in some pie and jazz.

Although going the the JazzFest in Kemah isn't in my plans for Saturday, the Boardwalk is just around the lake from me so you are welcome to join the Clear Lake group as we head back from Pie.

sorry for perpetuating the hijack.

[Loanstud]

Hey Dolan

Are you hitting the backroads? I'd like to ride along -- I'm not sure if I can go yet!

Let me know who you're riding with

San Antonio, NB San Marcos South Austin folks that are going I just got
back from Philly and will look at my map for some suggested routes.

[GrayRider]

I love pie. If the weathers good I will be there. This will be my first pie run with twtex and I'm really looking forward to it.

[mapmaker]

Looks like we are going to make this one. Put us down for 2.

Hmmmm.....

Is there a Starbucks or something on the NW side of Houston, 290 outside of the Beltway maybe?

I don't really know any routes other than slabbing it on 290. Maybe someone else can lead??

Already under the seat, put it there early this week so I would not forget

I punctured my rear tire last night :-(

[dbdolan]

I say for DS riders we meet in Montgomery and head toward Brenham. I made a route that is 71 miles to Brenham, I know some of the roads are dirt from north of Montgomery then west to Navasota. After that, we will be exploring because I have not ventured out that way. So here is the route what do you all think? Anyone have any sugestions?

[ant_129]

I am in.:rider:

[dbdolan]

I am no longer a maybe, I am in for sure.:rider:

[Loanstud]

I'm trying to pull this off! I can't ope the file you posted? By pulling up Yahoo maps it looks like 105 is a good route. I'll look at some other maps as well. What time are you meeting and where?:rider:

[Lee]

Budzrex and I are meeting at the Lockhart courthouse tomorrow for the ride to Brenham. We plan on leaving from there at 8:45. If anyone would like to join us, come on down, the more the merrier. The courhouse is at 110 South Main Street. Below is a map for directions.

[wczimmerman]

List updated. Looks like quite a group!

[wczimmerman]

Called the restaurant and warned them of our impending arrival. They greatly appreciated the heads up and they will get busy making some extra pies for everyone. I told them to expect 60+ folks at this point.

[Loanstud]

So Far:

From Montgomery here is one option

Old Plantersville Rd. to
Old Dobbin Rd to
Old 105
it becomes 306
to Hwy # 6
then there are some County roads still looking

[Thermalser]

Count me in.:pilot:

[Chatterbox]

Well, I won't be going, but The Big Spank Daddy (Chris) and our son, Jeff, will be riding up. Guess Jeff will be riding my Bandit - now that I finally have her back!! ;-)

Use google earth and open the .gpx file it will show the route. If you don't have google earth you can download it for free, and it will open .gpx files.
I will post up what time to meet tonight, I am still waiting to hear back from Desmo.

Well, due to circumstances, my wife and I are out.

Maybe next time!

Jim,
FJRMike posted in another thread. We're meeting at the FNB Tx35 and Hwy6., same spot as for Ham Weds. Kickstands up at 0800.

[Larry_77084]

Hey Brain, not a dirt road but one of my favorites, William Penn rd or CR 93 off of 105 which connects to 390 at that intersection make a right and it will take you down into Independence and 50. Roads of TX (109 and 125) doesn't show it well but there are plenty of dirt roads up there as well

I cannot see your map, so I have no idea where we are going. Just post a time/place and I will be there. Allow extra time if any of the dirt roads are unknown (may be dead end, gated, etc.).

Call me tonight if necessary.

First run I can make so, I'm in! Skid hooked me up with a bike :clap: since mine is still down :thumbd: due to lack of funds.

Get with the program:lol2: what do you mean, you don't have google earth? Then you could see the route or just get rid of that lowrance and get you a garmin.:duck: It looks like the route is gate free, it is a 71 mile route so why don't we meet in Montgomery at the Texaco(corner of 149 and 105) at 9am.

Hey Brain, not a dirt road but one of my favorites, William Penn rd or CR 93 off of 105 which connects to 390 at that intersection make a right and it will take you down into Independence and 50. Roads of TX (109 and 125) doesn't show it well but there are plenty of dirt roads up there as well
I will have to check it out, you going for pie larry?
Edit: I just looked at my route and I already have CR-93 in the route, so it looks like I picked at least one good road. Not bad for wingin' it.

So do we know if the route is Strom-friendly and Jeep-friendly? Me and Bushwhacker want to play in the dirt! :rider:

[wczimmerman]

Since I won't be there tomorrow, ya'll have fun and let the management know how much we appreciate the service and pie! Be careful out there!

Heck yeah, it will be mostly county roads that are either paved or well maintained dirt. :rider:

[deepink]

Count me out now. Work is calling late tonight and through the day tomorrow. Wish I could make it. I guess I'll have to pick up a Mrs. Smiths from the freezer section. Be Safe, all.

[BeemerDude]

***UPDATE-I'll be meeting up with Skid, Rainmaker, and Snoopster at Skid's house in the morning. See y'all in Brenham.

I want to go too! But would prefer not to ride out there alone. So if anyone who's going from the 290/1960 area wants some company along the way, call me at 832-814-2975. I'll be up late.

Thanks.

What time does King's open.

I am going to try to get to King's about 8 or 8:15 for grits before the ride (or in my case drive) over to Brenham.

I think I'm gonna make it. Because I'm taking off all the time on the bike... and because I'm going to continue on to the opening weekend of the Texas Renaissance festival in Plantersville.. I better at least go have breakfast with the wife... so I won't be able to make any of the early group departures.

Should be there though after breakfast.. see ya'll there!

Anyone that wants to continue on to the Renaissance festival in Plantersville.. since this is the opening weekend.. if you buy your tickets in advance at Albertson's, HEB, etc.. the tickets are discounted to $11 instead of $21 for opening weekend. Camping is only $10, so I'll probably just spend the night there and head back Sunday morning if anyone is game.

[Marko]

Last minute check - any groups starting/riding through North or West Houston that i can tag along with? I'd like to group up. Post details or pm me. I'll be there.

I'm going to Italy, for spaghetti :eat: We need to catch up sometime and slap them KLRs around. Weathers getting nice, I see Llano in the near future.

BTW, I got rid of my Garmin for a Lowrance.:rider:

Watch out for the blind turn on 95, I almost got it there by some yahoo in a pickup

May see you up there Bill, I am stopping there before we head up to Italy

[donroger1]

Not going to make it. :(

Allergies have been intense this week and cannot get control of sinuses without using "drowsy drugs".

I'll make the next one if I have to walk.
(a walk to Ponder is just a little stretch of the leg)

Enjoy and Ride Safe.

not going to make it afterall... too rushed to having breakfast with the wife.. then trying to make Brenham by 11am.

Still going to the Renaissance though and Brenham is on the way.. so if there are any stragglers still lingering.. I'll stop off. Otherwise, catch ya'll at the next one. Ride safe.

[NUTT]

Well, I'm going to get ready and head out shortly. Hopefully I'll see someone on the road. I'll probably be slabbing it on 290 most of the way, unless I start feeling a bit frisky then who knows.
