[wczimmerman]

Directions (as provided by dutchinterceptor):
Quote:
From Palestine: Take FM315 to the left off of SR155 just north of the loop in Palestine. You can follow it all the way to FM279 where you will turn left and follow it into Edom(Shed will be on your right) OR you can turn left off of FM315 onto FM314 which will take you straight to Edom and dump you right into the Shed's parking lot.

From Rusk: Take FM 768 north into Jacksonville(lots of curves)....go north on US69 until you reach Mount Selman and turn left on FM855. Turn right on FM346....then turn left on FM344 and follow it north where it will turn into FM2661. Continue north until you reach SR64. Turn left on SR64 and then take an immediate left on FM279. This will take you straight to Edom(Shed will be on your right).

From Van/I-20: Take FM314 south until you dead-end into FM279....turn right and the Shed will be immediately on your right.

From Athens: Take FM317 east until you get to FM314.....turn left and follow it straight to the Shed.

From Canton: Wait.......don't go near Canton on the 28th....and definitely don't speed any where near the town...anytime. It's mecca for Highway Patrol.

Another "No Fly Zone" is a small construction area between Poyner and Chandler on FM315. The road is ok but LEO is definitely watching the construction zone.

Glad to see your rolling again and cool flames by the way!

[fz1nutt]

Hey Dutch , thanks-still not exactly what I had in mind but I'll roll with it for now. I hoped most of the DFW folks would do the Edom ride- Ponder roads???:puke: Just my opinion. Lets ride for the cause !!!!!!!!!

SPOOOOKY!!!!!!!

Main reason for choosing Ponder is that I have never been there before & I may be heading to Bridgeport afterwards.

However, the Edom version is tempting, they have great buttermilk pie... :eat:

[dutchinterceptor]

Ponder roads???:puke: Just my opinion. Lets ride for the cause !!!!!!!!!


I wanted to catch up with vfer at Ponder to talk about our recent hillcountry ride but there just aren't any decent ways to get there from Tyler. I'm allergic to straight roads.

[Gilk51]

Hmmm - there is an S-curve on FM156 south of Justin to go under the RR tracks. What else do you want? :shrug:
:lol2:

[dutchinterceptor]

Ding!

[thebeancounter]

Count us in. My wife is riding her Shadow on this one and hopes that there are some other women riders coming along. But she'll ride with us regardless.

We would like to meet up with some people here in DFW and ride together. The more the merrier.

[REXER-1]

Dutch, sounds good. if I'm still open on 28th, see ya. (I marked it down)

IIRC there's a really good German restaurant in Muenster that I stopped at once. I'm definitely gonna make it up there sometime so I can at least check out your new RC!!

[1TallTXn]

well from looking at the map, Ponder and Edom are about the same distance away for me. thats assuming I don't jump on 35 and head up that way. (which I'm not planning on doing)

now to find a route to Ponder that is a crooked as possible :rider:

Elly(CWDancer) and Jessica(Ninjette) will hopefully be there on Saturday.


Looks like it's gonna be a small group! Where are all the East Texas folk??

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

[dutchinterceptor]

Chris, the two riders I mentioned aren't confirmed yet even though they should be there!! :mrgreen:
I just mentioned them in regard to nogutsnoglory's wife asking if other ladies would be there.

[txbanditrydr]

Add me to the list please..... see ya'll this weekend.

[wczimmerman]

List updated. Sorry, dutch, for jumping the gun on the 2 names.

[MCRyder]

Cameron (JuniorBiker500) and I are definite maybes. We might be able to make this and have time enough to get to Reklaw for the annual Flying M Ranch Fly-In. It'd make for a great day of riding. Weather.com has Saturday looking good :sun: .

What type of fly-in is that Mark?

[MCRyder]

What type of fly-in is that Mark?

It's like the big plane event in Oshkosh, Wisconsion (but MUCH smaller). Kinda like a motorcycle rally with wings, if you will. Last year they had over 400 aircraft fly-in (therefore the name) for the event. 2006 is it's 20th. Here's the website for anyone's who's interested http://www.reklawflyin.com/

I've always wanted to go to Oshkosh but never could make it. Thanks for the info. :thumb:




Now, are we really only gonna have 6 or 8 people show up at the Shed this weekend?? :doh: Then again.....more chocolate pie for me!:trust:

Have a good trip and uuuh....sure I'll eat some pie for ya!

[DancesWithCurves]

I'm thinkin' I'm a strong maybe. Looking for a route leader with an aversion to slab! Randall or Russ?

[thebeancounter]

Let me look at a map and my GPS and I'll let you know. I hate the slab but just love exploring the country roads. I've been down that way before on a ride to Houston and took FM and county roads all the way down. I'll let you know what I come up with.

[thebeancounter]

Ok, since I'm not sure where everyone in DFW is coming from, here are a couple or high-level routes.

From the North - meet in Rockwall just south of I-30, take 276 east over Lake Tawakoni to 69 to 17. Go South on 17 to 110 and South to 314 to Edom - roughly 87 miles on GPS route.

A more direct route would be to take the 715 South from 276 to the 64 then Southeast through Canton. This is about 72 miles but I've heard that Canton is DPS heaven and the 64 looks too long and too straight to be much fun.

If ya'll are more from the south of DFW, we can meet in Forney and take back roads to Kaufman, east on 243 to 47 South. Then East around the 2339 to Edom - roughly 72 miles.

I don't know the condition of any of these roads so if there are some bad ones in here please speak up.

Any other ideas on a route from DFW?

64 is straight as an arrow so I wouldn't recommend it. If you go through Canton, 2909 is a very nice road which heads east just south of Canton off of 19. You can pick up FM1861 in Martin's Mill and over to 2339 which takes you into Edom. As far as I know all the roads leading to Edom are in good condition with the exception of 279. Some construction is going on at all of the water crossings where the culverts are being replaced.

[SparkyBlue]

I'm in, and the weather looks great. And if anyone wants to join me afterwards, I'll be making a loop through Nacogdoches in the afternoon.

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

[DancesWithCurves]

Okay, put me down for definite. Russ, let me know if you want to meet in Rockwall or somewhere between -- I'm coming from Richardson, around Campbell/BushPike. And what time?

[MCRyder]

List me as a definite. Cameron won't be there. He's gotta chance to earn some $$$ and help pay for his cycle insurance.

Mark are you still going to Reklaw afterwards? I'd love to tag along if you are still going.

[Eulogite]

We're out. I've been sick all week and it's getting worse.

I noticed on the website that the public wasn't invited..... :huh: :shrug:

I've been through ground school does that count?? Oh well, guess I'll just go ride instead.

Get to feeling better and don't push it!! You'll need all your strength to make the Nac Attack!!

[Hillflea]

I'll be there for sure. Planin on leavin out around 9 a.m. with no route picked just yet. Anyone in the Tyler area interested?:trust:

[MCRyder]

I noticed on the website that the public wasn't invited..... :huh: :shrug:

I saw that too and emailed the organizer about it. He said that was to discourage the the "riff-raff" and "looky-loos". I don't think we'd count as riff-raff, even on motorcycles. There is (for the first time) a $5 entrance fee. I'm still going. Cameron's going to the fly-in, I have to go into Tyler and pick him up after the Pie Run.

[mode12]

Is anybody passing through Rockwall or Forney along the way? I'd meet up with ya'll...I'm in Forney/Heath area.

[thebeancounter]

I'm afraid I have to bow out of this pie run and go to Ponder which is closer to us. We have too many activities going on tomorrow so we are opting to go to a closer one that will take a shorter return trip.

I was really looking forward to this ride and even had the GPS all loaded and everything. Darn it all.

I look forward to riding with and meeting everyone at the next pie run.

Have a safe and fun ride!

[dutchinterceptor]

I'll be handling any donations for the Edom group so don't forget your checkbook or extra cash if you'd like to contribute. It's not mandatory.
Checks can be made out to Scott Friday.

Be safe and see everyone tomorrow!!

[fz1nutt]

Well it looks like I'll get to join the pie fest in Edom. I'm starting from south of the metromess on 287 to Ennis, roads not much fun till well east of 45.

[txbanditrydr]

Bring it on Randall... looking forward to seeing you and your bike.

[fz1nutt]

This will be only the 3rd time out and the longest ride since Ark ride. I was told the bike looks like an angry lizard- whats a good name for an angry lizard?
Am I asking for it or what!!
