[jhansen]

I'm in. :rider: :eat:

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

[kurt]

Maybe.

[Gilk51]

I was seriously thinking about this one - I think the 1300 time sealed it. Count me in (I'll have to check with the scooter rider)...

[blazin' mama]

For you Chuck, we'd move mountains if we could. (if there were any around here.):sun:

[Squeaky]

For you Chuck, we'd move mountains if we could. (if there were any around here.):sun:

She DOES exist! :mrgreen:

[wczimmerman]

She DOES exist! :mrgreen:

Oh, trust me: this time without the bike has been killing her!

[DwayneInfo]

Count us in.

[kurt]

Oh, trust me: this time without the bike has been killing her!

[bushwhacker]

Put me down as a definate, pending unforseen circumstances, of course.

[ceddec]

We are in so add two please.:rider: to :eat:

[C50dreamin]

Well work changed my schedule around on me and I was supposed to be off that weekend and was looking forward to it but now it looks like I won't make it. I'll see though if I can fanagle it so I can trade out to make it...

Put me down as a maybe +1...

And also I'll hopefully drag "1badx" with me...

[ST/SV]

Me and my favorite passenger should be there.

[Michelle]

I will be there and possibly my husband too. :rider:

[budzrex]

I am a maybe, plenty of family to visit in Sealy so maybe I will kill two
birds, foods always good at Tony's

[RedPill]

This one is too far for my motorized butt pain device, but I hope everyone has a great time.

[FJRMike]

I will be there with a passenger and most likely a group from the Clear Lake area.

[Michelle]

Mike - Will you let us know where you guys meet up? If you don't mind 1-2 extra we may join you for the ride over. :pirate:

[thestudent]

maybe, girlfriend permitting

[FJRMike]

Mike - Will you let us know where you guys meet up? If you don't mind 1-2 extra we may join you for the ride over. :pirate:

Sure - most likely meet in Alvin and head out towards Brazos Bend and that area on the way over.

Watch for postings.

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

[NX2000]

Since I'm only a couple of miles farther than Rainmaker and I can be there in 30 minutes put me down as a maybe. I won't know until a couple days in advance if I have to work or not.

[ToroGuy]

Maybe...Glitter Critter is having minor day surgery on Thursday. Depending on how she feels Saturday, I may make to Sealy.

[Tekisasu DR]

Anybody take DS route from Houston?

[roundblack]

working on an Austin pack now. Put me down as a Maybe

[poser]

13:00?

[C50dreamin]

Legend has it there will be three to four more riders attending that will be stopping in to visit with everyone.

Two from Houston , One from San Felipe , another from Sealy.



I will be sporting the 1937 BMW w/ sidecar.



See everyone there.

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

[wczimmerman]

Restaurant has been warned/notified of our impending arrival. They are excited to have us.

[gillt]

Im in for my first pie run . See y'all there .

[bushwhacker]

I count 56 so far. I hope they have enough pie! :eat:

[Jbay]

Hey Bill, what's up, hows the Solstice, ready to get back on the Tiger

[Chango]

Just got word from another rider coming down from Dallas .

[behindbars]

Count my wife and I in. Looking forward to it.

[bushwhacker]

Hey Bill, what's up, hows the Solstice, ready to get back on the Tiger

Actually I will be in the Solstice on Saturday. Several of us are making a run out to Fayetteville and then I am coming back by Tony's for Pie. Maybe a couple of more Solsti with me.

[Cooltouch]

Well, count me in, too.

I wouldn't mind riding over with some other folks. I'm in Houston, located a couple miles west of the I-10/I-610 West interchange. I'll ride the slab if I must, but wouldn't mind a more scenic route.

[Chango]

Hey Michael , theres always the old 290 almost "abandoned" Hempstead Hwy.
to Waller then Farm to Market it down. Or 529 over to Brookshire/Pattison and run the river road :rider: to San Felipe then across to Sealy.

I'm not fond of the Slab either.

I'm a maybe. I really hate to miss the Pie Runs that are this close to home. Of course I'll have to hit the gym twice on Saturday if I make it!!

Well that starting temp is going to be a little rough for my passenger, but I warned her about it already and if need be she can use my heated jacket while I use my standard lined one.

[FJRMike]

POSTED - meet in Alvin to ride to The Pie.

Look at "Upcoming Rides - Houston" for the thread.

[tjbrandt50]

Finally decided, I'm going.

[patricjft]

I am at 90% right now. Very close to home, but have a lot going on this weekend. Will do my best.

[wczimmerman]

[DaveC]

It has been 4 weeks and we are still not done with this truck!:thpt: :shrug: :headbang:

But I was thinking
Your going to be a bunch of Sealy Bikers.

:rider:
It's an accent.:lol2:

[Dan Greenlee]

Add one more.

[poser]

I'm on the maybe list, but go ahead and add one more.

i think my wife may come along

[Dirtrideroader]

Move me to a definite. My passenger is still a maybe.

Am I reading this right, 13:00 hours? That is great. I can get in my MS150 training ride, then ride my motorcycle to eat pie.
What I really should do is just ride my bicycle there(is that legal).

Since I have been on my bicycle once this year, I really need to start building up some seat time.

[strommer1423]

Unless work calls I will make it to my first Pie run.
2002 Goldwing
2006 DL 1000 V-Strom

thats what I'll be doing in the morning also. I thought about riding my bike up there, but somehow I'm just not sure it'd be right.
pie and motorcycles go together, not pie and bicycles

I agree, something about eating pie while wearing spandex just seems wrong.

[Gixxer Geezer]

If my bad back holds up till Sat. add me too... thanks..:rider: :eat:

[treybrad]

If it makes a difference, you can put me down as a definite now.

trey

[FJRMike]

the weather is looking perfect for a pie run day. See you there.

[jar675]

I would like to take dirt roads there if at all possible. Anybody have any suggestions? I will be coming from Richmond area.

Oh yeah put me on the list!

List updated. We're closing in on our current record attendance of 76.

mr1150gs: yes, 13:00 is correct.

[dfwscotty]

If nothing major comes up last minute, I will be heading south!

[Chango]

After Pie , If ya'll would like to visit and see our private collection of Vintage Motorcycles , let us know ..... We are about a mile away from Tony's on 36 .




See everyone at Tony's !!!! , James

[Rick572]

Well, you can add one more. Just managed to clear my desk and the weather looks great. Just worked out a pretty nice route down and back and I need a big piece of pie.:eat:

[Gilk51]

OK, not too many folks signed up from up north, so I made up a very ambitious plan (subject to change now that a couple more may be going)...

Since, after pie, my latest fad is courthouses, I have a route to pick up a few down and back, assuming I don't wear this old body out. (not to mention I hope I am on the downwind leg of this crud I have been fighting all week).

I'll attach the Garmin file, but here is the main plan on the way down:

leave Arlington about 7:00 AM or so

road to town/intersection, miles estimate
---- --------------------
- Arlington
US287 Mansfield
FM157 Venus, Maypearl, 32 miles
FM66 FM308
FM308 Milford, Malone
SH171 Hubbard, Mexia
SH14 Groesbeck (photo stop), 106 miles
SH14 Bremond
FM46 Franklin, OSR
OSR SH6
SH6 158, Booneville Rd
158 SH30
SH30 SH244
SH244 90
90 Anderson (photo stop), 207 miles
90 SH6 (Navasota)
SH6 10th Street, Heampstead (photo stop), 237 miles
159 Bellville (photo stop), 253 miles
SH36 Sealy (lunch + pie)

looks to be about 268 miles that way.

More options going back. looking at:

road to town/intersection, miles estimate
---- --------------------
US90 W I10 West
I10 US90
US90 Columbus (photo stop), 25 miles
71 La Grange (photo stop), 52 miles
US77 Giddings (photo stop), 72 miles
US77 US90, SH36
90/36 Cameron, 123 miles

quick way home (most likely):
US77 Waco, I35, I35W (another 141 miles), total 264

-or-
190/36 Temple
36 Gatesville (photo stop)
36 FM182
182 219
219 1238, 927, 144, Glen Rose, 67 ...
or 219 Clifton, 6, 22, Meridian, 174, 67 ...
200 miles from Cameron or 323 total

Anyway, that's the idea if I go it alone... :shrug:

[thestudent]

Thats a pretty aggressive route Chuck. It would be too much for me, but I am going to try to take some picture breaks and probably make a day of it.

Have a great a safe ride..

&^%$#^$#@#$$^&Battery!!!!!!!!!

Got up worked for a bit this morning. Then i came home finished to cleaning of the REX (cleanest and shiniest it has been in months).I went to the PC and mapped out a great route for the ride home and downloaded it into the GPS. Went and loaded the bike and got all layered up w/warm clothes for the ride down. WELL imagine my suprise when I locked the front door put on the jacket,gloves and helmet, threw a leg over and turned the key on. Push the starter button and ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!! slow crank about 3 revolutions and nothing more. What are the odds ?? Well the original 7 YO battery decided TODAY of all days to take a crap and of course the wothless stealership had none in stock (like I didnt know that already ) So my day went from the kid the nite before XMAS to the pouting brat ...Looking forward to the next time longingly....Jack
