When:
11:00 AM CDT (1100 for our military minded)
30 August 2008

The arrival time is our normal morning time to beat the lunch rush.
OK, it looks like we ARE the lunch rush! ;-)

Suggestion by the BB management: break up into groups of 4-6 to be seated.

from PMiT: It will be crowded! Be patient and enjoy bikes, folks, and food!

NOTE: If your name (names) has a nametag icon http://www.twtex.com/photopost/data/500/thumbs/nametag_me.gif beside it, then I have made a stick-on nametag for you. If not, I am waiting until the last minute for you to supply an avatar picture or a "called/given" name to go with your screen name. The nametag will have your avatar, screen-name, and "real" name, assuming I can find all that information.

If your name is not in one of the lists, then you have not clearly said what your intentions are or I haven't gotten to it yet.
If it is still not on the list when a "list updated" post appears after it, I have erred :doh: and let me know about it!

There will be a supply of blank nametags at the restaurant.

Count me in Chuck.

[Quick-Silver]

I will be there.

I have guest coming in that weekend, but since it's only about 50 miles from here, I'll make a quick run over to eat and visit with you guys for a few minutes.

Just so y'all know it's not unusual at the Blue Bonnet to wait in a line that wraps around outside toward the back parking lot, but it's worth it.

Oh, that's Labor Day weekend, so y'all be EXTRA careful out on the road.

SEYA

Yes. Possibly one more as well.

[CaroleAnn]

Well shoot, so close that I'd make it except that's the day I head out on my trip. I'll be well on the road by the time y'all are having pie. :rider:

[Simmons1]

Well, your signature line has been "when **** freezes over, I'll ride there" and I thought of New York................:zen:


Actually that part of the world is awesome at this time of the year. It is a whole lot nicer than here. And in the winter there are snowmobiles and there is plenty of cold beer to keep one occupied

[C50dreamin]

Excellent! :thumb:

(hope hurricane Ed doesn't give you any trouble)


Well when the list was originally made up, Marble Falls was earlier in the year and the wife has never been so we planned on making the trip. Sealy was close but I was working and couldn't get off. Kinda hurt too since I scouted that location.:tears: Ingleside was the next closest and I made it but had to rush off to work right after. Blessing is right down the road and we plan on making it but I don't know if I'm working. I may see if I can work something out if I am. So there's all the pie runs that I would have or could have possibly made in a nutshell...LOL:mrgreen:

We aren't far enough north to be affected much by Ed, as I type we haven't received so much as a drop from the old boy...LOL:lol2:

[Cherioer]

Looks like I'll be able to make a Pie Run this year.
Finally.
Count me in.

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

put me down as definate maybe + 1, also might have a friend + 1 going as well..

[CBAT]

So far y'all have managed to hit my work schedule every time this year. :giveup: Of course the way it works I have a 66% chance of being at work on any one day. And this one is in my stomping grounds. Someday......someday.

[Texfire]

I've got a trade payback that might fall on this, otherwise I'm in, so probable for now.

[Squeaky]

Put me down as a definite MAYBE. :sun:

Will have to see how things are after I get back from vacation.

When you figure out your schedule, let me know if you (and/or any of your cohorts) want to make this another weekender. :trust:

[Buck&Betty]

Buck&Betty,
We are finally back to riding after 6 long weeks,so we will :clap: :clap: be joining you for this one. Have missed all of you.

Looking forward to it.

Thanks,

I'm in as a definite maybe. Lookin for a possible weekender ride if all the other clan is up to it.

[Red Brown]

Hey Chuck,

I am probably going to attend pending no other plans. Add a possible 4-5 other friends too. I will tell the TWT Pie Run house band to play this tune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g9Cxrc7FSg).

[FJR Bandit]

I get back to TX from AZ around the 25th...... So...... I'm in unless I have to work.

To close for me not to show up, definite.

list updated

25 definite + 7 probable = 32
10+ maybes...

[macktruckturner]

also thinking about it. Unless I have some kind of work related reason not to be there, I'll be there. Considering that I'm unemployed, the chances I have a work related reason to not make it looks pretty slim I'd say.

[Maverick]

When you figure out your schedule, let me know if you (and/or any of your cohorts) want to make this another weekender. :trust:

Come on Girl. I was talking to the wife today and it's a definite Sat/Sun ride and I will probably stretch it into Monday as well. A lot of area out there I want to ride so will probably just enjoy as much as I can.

Tsk, Tsk. Sounds to me like I need to buy you lunch (and maybe a tank of gas), so come on out! :rider: :eat: :rider:

Maybe that will get Mom and Dad out of "thinking about it" mode, too. :trust:

Ok, how about we meet for lunch one day the week before the run and look at some routes. Maybe have a ride on sunday that gives you an easy route home and I can split off from there.

Hopefully your lesser half (we know who the better half is :lol2: ) will be joining us as well??? ok, OTHER half. :rofl:

Gettin' stoked up for this ride. :rider: :eat: :rider:

And DFW Warrior, I'd like to meet you if the opportunity arises.

YAY! Make it a full weekend with us - we'll ride after, stay somewhere, then ride some more Sunday before we split for home (and the lucky ones ride yet some more because they don't have to work Monday).

I'm not sure I want to know. :mrgreen:

Well, if you were talkin about the other one it would be the equal second half of the team. ;-)

[DFW_Warrior]

And DFW Warrior, I'd like to meet you if the opportunity arises.

[Bob in Big D]

At this time I plan on making the ride.

[Abby]

I'd like to make up my mind and say its a go, definite for the PIE RUN. Lookout Marble Falls !!! Count me in.

[Dirtrideroader]

There is a slight possibility I can make it. Depending on the phase of the moon, the extent of global warming at the time and other items that I don't even know about yet.

That would be me +1 and possibly + 2 more...

Everybody knows that is Labor Day weekend, right? That could diminish my possibilities slightly.

[Squeaky]

There is a slight possibility I can make it. Depending on the phase of the moon, the extent of global warming at the time and other items that I don't even know about yet.

That would be me +1 and possibly + 2 more...

Randy & your nephew going to come bail us out again? :lol2:

Just saw my Doctor. If I make this, it will have to be in a cage.
No motorcycle helmets wagging in the breeze (with my head in it) for two more months.:doh:

It is looking more and more iffy. We are supposed to go to the Tom Petty Concert the night before. Randy and Parker are probably going to be in Rockwall visiting our in-laws.

[NUTT]

Nope, definitely not going.

I've got a romantic getaway planned for that weekend. My girlfriend and I will be touring the wine country & staying in a very nice bed & breakfast in Sonoma, CA + spending a night on Union Square in San Francisco.

I won't be thinking of any of you. Sorry.

[rikkijustmike]

What time do you guys/gals plan on leaving the cafe?

I'll be in New Braunfels that weekend with the in-laws, so I may follow them on the bike. I'm going to have to balance spending time with the wife's folks and getting in some photos, so I may not make any kind of "group ride", but I'd like to go ahead and start meeting forum members, so even if I'm just shaking hands and wishing you well as you leave, I should make it in time to say "hello".

I guess you can call me a probably.5 as my wife may be willing to ride along.

[WoodButcher]

It's usually about an hour in the place, then some time standing around visiting. However that is dependent on the weather too.

[bostonlager]

+1 Definitely
see you there!

I'll be at the pie run with Dan. We had such a wonderful time in Bastrop yesterday. The bikes were beautiful and such a variety! Everyone was so friendly and made me feel at ease.
Enjoyed meeting Snoopster, Squeaky, and Hotair! Dan says Marble Falls is still too far for me to ride :-( , so I get to ride....I don't like using that word...on the BACK of the V-Star:miffed:

Hey xcaliber,

I'm leading a ride out from Navasota if you care to join, the thread is here (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31099) if you want to meet along the way, burton, wherever. The route may change a little but not substantially until we join up with Squeaky who has her own ideas of what route I should take. :rofl:

Hope to see you there and drop me a line and we'll work out a time.

talk to you soon and hope to see you along for the ride.

David.

[Gilk51]

OK, Boys and Girls,

I was staring at my almost-used-up package of Avery #5141 nametags and decided that I would "Squeakyfy" this months Pie Run with name tags. Everyone on the definite and probable lists will have a nametag printed that will look something like this (background is actually white):

http://www.texasarlingtoncs.us/pics/twt/nametags/nametag_5462q.JPG (http://www.texasarlingtoncs.us/pics/twt/nametags/nametag_5462.JPG)

So, I am collecting avatars and "real" names. If you want yours to be correct, make sure I have your real first name that you would like to go by.

Also, if you have never selected an avatar, now is a good time to do so. :trust:

Now, I will just need to print them out & remember to bring them! :doh:

[WoodButcher]

So, how OCD are you going to get on this? Are you going to shade the usernames to match TWT? :rofl:

Just an FYI. The TORCH off road group formed a on-road group at the beginning of the year. For the August street ride they plan to join us at the Bluebonnet. I don't think they have a headcount yet, but it will be at least 3 and I'd guess as many as 10 total. I'll let you know as soon as I have a better number.

[Gilk51]

OK, boys and girls, if you check the very first post in this thread (it is numbered #1 ;-) ), you will see little nametag icons next to the names for which I have currently have printed and are in my pile for the Pie Run. http://www.texasarlingtoncs.us/pics/smilies/vpsingles/ccake.gif

I have tinkered to get the size and format and even switched to a slightly different Avery tag, but now am ready to finish up... :roll:

I have concentrated on ones that I have an avatar and I know their "real" names thru one means or another.

So, if you don't see an icon next to your name, here are some reasons:

I can't figure out what you like to be called in real life.
You don't have an avatar and I am waiting to see if you add one.
I haven't worked down to you yet.
I am jealous of your bike and want to make you suffer.

Also, if you can supply a name for your +1s or +2s, then I can have those ready, too...

Thanks! :sun:

Plan is to be there at or around 11:00. I hope to be there early and try to herd the cats... ;-)

I need to look at a route and departure time and place and post it up. It looks like there is a Houston group and a Waco group that already have plans.

Most likely will leave from SW Arlington (probably before 7:00) and wander down thru Cranfills Gap and Gatesville (need a courthouse photo there).

Maybe. This would be my first run. I can make it there and back in time for work at 3, no problem (assuming I don't run my bike out of gas again... :doh: who would'a thunk I only get a mile on reserve?). The trick is ... don't laugh... getting up early enough; I usually work afternoons through nights, which suits my night owlness just fine.

[Tesla]

Anybody worried about the possible mass exodus of people fleeing the Gustav storm? My boss, Greg, who is no longer going tells me that I do not want to get caught in that traffic. Remember the last one that people fled? That one was downright ugly. I'm coming from Dallas and staying far west of I-35 where the mess would be but he claims that the back roads could be potentially congested as well. Accuweather states the some could be leaving as early as Friday with hospitals and the like leaving Saturday.

[Squeaky]

From the forecasts I've seen, the storm won't be out into the gulf until the weekend - and then we get to see which way they think it will go. From here in Houston, I think any exodus would be Sun/Mon - which means we'd be headed back there and against traffic.

I guess we still need to keep a close eye on it though. If it looks like it will get bad, I might just call it a day ride instead of a weekender. :shrug:

[FJRMike]

headed back to Houston when they have enabled contra-flow?

that might be fun.

[Squeaky]

Conta fow wouldn't even be in place until Sunday or Monday at the earliest, and that's IF it even comes this way. The storm is still a long way out, and the forecasts put it near NO by Monday afternoon.

If it veers farther west to the TX coast, it'll be Tuesday at least.

We started with River Road (New Braunfels), TX-46 (Boerne), Bandera, Utopia, FM-337 (Leakey/Camp Wood), FM-335, we saw lightning and rain so we did not do FM-336, headed toward Kerrville via FM-1340 (Hunt) and checked into hotel in Kerrville. We made an impromptu ride up to Fredricksburg for German food at the Auslander restaurant then came back to the hotel in Kerrville. We returned early this morning. :sun:

[markaustin]

Okay, finally a day I have free and a ride are on the same day. Count me in. Promise me it will be super hot, though, 'cause it needs to be really hot.:sun:

[jeffrey]

Looks like the wife has decided to come.

So it's me, Karin and my buddy Steffen (on his Honda 599). :)

[wbrisett]

Sadly, I'll have to cancel. My dad is in the hospital in Kerrville, and we've been spending every weekend there. This weekend is no exception. Sorry for the late cancellation (we were a maybe anyhow, but...).

FJRBandit:

You are one of the closest member to me here in Freer. Do you have a route? I was planning on going though Bandera and Kerrville and Fredericksburg and Johnston City. How many in your group. CMA.....does that mean I can get in trouble with Johnny Law.

Our route to Marble Falls will be a straight shot up I-37 to 281 (no time to dally). Afterwards, we plan to see where it's not raining and ride there. We'll head home sometime Sunday, probably going 16 through Kerrville, Bandera, then Pleasanton. You're welcome to hook up with us, if you don't mind riding with a herd of Hondabagos. I'll be the one on the Triumph seeing if I can get them to scratch some chrome off their highway pegs in the corners.

CMA is the Christian Motorcyclists Association (cmausa.org). We (usually) don't have too much trouble with Johnny Law.

[Sharpshooter]

So far, count me in. This will be my first pie run so be gentle with me. With an 11:30a target, I will need to leave by 7:00a.

Anyone want to ride from the Richmond / Katy area? If I slab it the whole way, it is still 200 miles from Fort Bend County. MapPoint calculated just under 5 hours but I am anticipating closer to 4 to 4.5 hours of road time with 1 fuel stop. (With a bad O2 sensor, I am only getting about 200 miles to a tank on the Pumpkin.)

I would not mind being part of a small group making the ride. We can meet in Katy, Fulshear, Brookshire, etc. My anticipated route - unless someone has another suggestion - is I-10 to Hwy 71 in Columbus (65 mile leg) and Hwy 71 to Hwy 281 just south of Marble Falls (130 mile leg)and Hwy 281 to the Bluebonnet Cafe (5 miles). I was going to make it a day trip because of my ongoing home improvement project but the return can be a little more back-roadsy.

Let me know...

Plenty of air - it hasn't thinned out yet from the heat! ;-)



Looks like we will be doing that from the latest count:

Chuck,
Add 1 more to the Voyagerrider count, Charlotte.

Saul, here a linky from the Houston group ride:

I plan on taking the same route, leaving from Bellaire at 7 am, with a stop in La Grange in order to link up with the rest of the group there. I will be on a black/white BMW F650, wearing a hiviz yellow jacket.

I will be there. Looking foward to a good breakfast.

[andyc740]

RTL: What time will you depart Corpus and are you meeting to form up somewhere?

Our plan is to leave Corpus at 7:00 am Saturday, departing from the Whataburger at SPID and Ayers (just off 286, the Crosstown Expwy). So far, 3 couples are interested in riding up with my wife and I, though we'll be meeting 2 of the others along the way. One pair is coming from Cuero and will meet us N of San Antonio, the other is from Holiday Beach (n. of Rockport) and would probably meet us at Edroy or Mathis.

[rikkijustmike]

Does this place know that it will be getting this much business? I'd hate to have the State Guard called in on us...

[Squeaky]

Does this place know that it will be getting this much business? I'd hate to have the State Guard called in on us...

Yeah, we've notified them - but keep in mind this place has had round-the-building lines all the time and are used to it. It's been a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike for some time.

I have been in contact with one of the managers (phone then email) and they also say that a holiday weekend like this one is usually busy.

Soooooo, as long as everyone is aware that there will most likely be a line, and plan for it, all should go OK. This has happened before at other places, too.

[kurt]

We're gonna have to start renting VFW halls and having the pie catered in. :eek2:

[SUNKISSED]

Probable. I will try to resist cleaning my bike because it incites rain.

[AusFletch]

I'm in. I Probably won't wait in line for pie but this is too many bikes and TWT'ers in one place too close to home to pass up. See y'all there.

Chuck,
I'll be there...Lee put down probable but unless something comes up in 2 days we're both planning on it. What's the chance of us meeting at an intersection like that one pie run??

[$hooter]

Put me down as ABSOLUTELY GOING chuck...Margy got me an O2 bottle for my early morning get-up. Where are we suppose to all hook up in SW Arlington? Margy cant go so I will be wingin-it alone. A bud might ride his scooter and go but he wont know for sure till tomorrow night. I didnt see where we would meet up. I probably wont head back with you guys tho. I want to buzz over to Leander and visit with an old high school friend (we grew up together) that has breast cancer. Havent seen her in years and I need to as I was told that the cancer is starting to get her down.

[Gilk51]

Probably none 'cause Lee said he would meet us at Minyards. :-P

That really was crazy on the west Texas run... :clap:

[Gilk51]

Where are we suppose to all hook up in SW Arlington?

See my ride thread here (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31649). It's a bit early but several folks have already said they would be early birds.

We usually meet in a Minyards parking lot at I20 and Green Oaks - NW corner.

I just laid your route out on my map-maker program Chuck and it says 224.1 miles and 5 hours and 33 minutes...without a rest stop. I will see you giuys down there I guess. I am either going to go I-35 or down thru Granbury to Glenn Rose and catch 281.

[Sharpshooter]

Hey, with $hooter coming and who knows who else with a Gold Wing, do we need a place designated as "Gold Wing Only" parking? I would not want the Wings to disappear in the sea of dual-sports.

"CMA" I thought that had something to do with raceing.:doh: May I join you folks? Promise that I'm not a magnet for Johnny Law.:mrgreen:

Just lost the rear tire on the Bandit so I'll have to take the Wing. I can meet you at the Stripes on Hwy59 and I-37 at 7:30ish or any other time.

I will have to leave the pie run early for work. I may take my route back home for some fun with less deers attacks.

But you'll be riding along with a dual-sport. Does that qualify the dual-sport to park with the 'Wings? Or vice-versa? ;-)

You're welcome to join us. We'll probably be at that Three Rivers exit about 8:30. The problem will be keeping the wives on the bikes when we swing by for you. We're planning a gas stop on the N. side of San Antonio.

See you tomorrow. We'll be hard to miss. Look for a beat up Trophy, several Gold Wings and a couple cruisers.:welcome:

[edmart001]

Chuck -

I'm also a definite and so is my wife (Anthony's mom, Lidia), although she plans to cage it. It seems that she has not sufficiently recovered from our motorcycle trip to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas in June to be willing to get back on the Gold Wing yet. I guess that 115 degree F day around Lake Meade from Hoover Dam to Zion National Park, with camping in a tent and no shower at the end of it has left a lasting impression. Go figure....

Hey Im all for designated wing parking only

I am counting arount least 5 Wings. I know the BMW's and the Stroms and the ZX's and the ZR's, etc. will outnumber us but hey, I am willing to be a parking separatist. I'm not shy. And Squeaky said she will valet park all the bikes.

-Saul

[Squeaky]

And Squeaky said she will valet park all the bikes.

Not in THAT lot I won't! :giveup:

It'll be a tight fit just for everyone to find a place to park. Everyone - please be mindful of blocking cars and other bikes in if you don't want to be disturbed mid-pie to go out and move yours.

I'd suggest maybe they could park in Big Bend, but I'm just a noob and don't want to get anybody upset.

We're now -2 in our group. Gene and Linda can't make it. I'll just have to eat their pie, too. :eat2:

[slowGEEZR]

I'm in, definitely.

[WoodButcher]

When I was there a couple of months ago, there was some work going on in the empty lot diagonally across the intersection behind the Bluebonnet. It may be a parking lot. Otherwise, if they are done tearing up the street back there maybe we could park along it.

Just don't park at either business behind or next to the Bluebonnet. One of the Pie Runs we lined up for a picture at the place behind and they asked us to leave. We explained it was for a photo and we weren't parking and they were very nice about the whole thing. I suspect they get tired of people using it for overflow parking though.

Tesla + 2 are not going to make it:-(
