[Gilk51]

OK, I seeded this thread with comments from this one (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28063).

Check what you might have signed up for ages ago & we'll make any necessary changes.

If you are confused: Hutto is in the rotation this month.

BUT, the simpler theme: Pie, anywhere, anytime on 10/25/2008

[ed29]

I will be in Arkansas that day and I hear that the group has a pie location scouted for Saturday.

[poser]

as it turns out I've dcided to do a track day the following weekend, but I'm not going to make the ride all the way to Hutto

anyone want to meet closer to Houston for some pie?

[kurt]

Most likely.

[CaroleAnn]

I'll be there, I even found the long, fun way to get there. :rider:

[Tourmeister]

Chuck, I created a subforum for Pie Run locations. This way, there is one place to go to look for locations or to list the locations if there is not one in an area where someone wants to be. You should be the only one that can start threads in that forum. The idea, as presented by Tracker, is this:

[Hutto, Tx] Debbie's Pies at The Texan Cafe 11:0am CST.
[Dallas, Tx] blah blah blah
[Melbourne, Australia] blah blah blah...

Anyone wanting to add a location should provide the info on the place and give to Chuck.

Beth and I are strong maybes for Hutto, with the kids... :eek2:

[Squeaky]

Beth and I are strong maybes for Hutto, with the kids... :eek2:

Topcase will hold Rachel, but where are the other two going to be bungee'd on? :rider:

[Tourmeister]

This will be a minivan trip... WAY too much stuff to carry. Plus, I will have a lot of T-shirts to bring as well.

[pub610]

chuck, I'm a definite "maybe" for Hutto and an absolute "gosh, I hope so."

[Seahog]

Seahog & Shehog will attend fer sure. I'm thinking about riding up from
Moulton... anyone else in that area going?

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

well Chuck, i think you got me pinned down correctly. even tho you are 6 days late!! :lol2:

[budzrex]

That's the best day of the Harvest Classic, I will be out there.

[buck000]

Argh. 5 minutes away, and I'm signed up for a tai chi seminar the whole weekend. :doh:

Funny, I was just talking to the new owner a few weeks ago that periodically a large group may put them on the rotation for invading their place for pie...!

[aharbi]

I plan to attend with my wife for this one. Thanks

[Scorch]

I'm in.

[DaWhip]

Hmmm. the day after payday. I guess I dont have an excuse. I'm in. and I will speak for balleT REX and say that she is in too. hopefully she wil be back on two wheels by then.

[voyagerrider]

Kathy(ladyrider) and I are a definite for this one.

[TexasShadow]

I'm in sorta. I'll ride up to Oklahoma on the Whee, find a buffalo or two, have cobbler in some small town and toast to y'all. :mrgreen:

[Beemer Steve]

Wendy & I will be there on our new ride

[smithr]

I will have to be a definite maybe till I know what time the UT game starts. I got tickets to join my 95k other friends to watch.

[kurt]

Yeah, they should be pretty fired up after losing to OU this week. :trust:

[Manfred]

Yeah, they should be pretty fired up after losing to OU this week. :trust:

IF they lose to the cretins from Norman, they will then have the heartache of losing to Oklahoma teams two weeks in a row, 'cause my Cowboys from Oklahoma State are gonna whup them cows from Austin! :shooter:

[King_O_Road]

Add one more for me...
and my son maybe riding with me so add a maybe on the +1 side...

[Woodys650]

I'm still in but location has changed to Hagerstown MD. (West of Baltimore about an hour). I have some work to do up there prior to a lovely trip to Iraq. I'm open for anything within a couple hours of there if y'all know anybody in the area interested. Sadly, I'll be caging it. :eat:

[DBL]

I should be able to make it to the Hutto pie run. It will be my first and with the location only 10 miles away, I have no excuse. :flip:

[Snoopster]

I plan to be there but please put Rainmaker as a maybe.

[KLRKrup47]

[pb641]

I'm doing my best to get a Panhandle representation for IPRD, and I have posted a thread in the Panhandle rides section to get discussion going. I am proposing the Overlook on highway 207, about 30 miles south of Claude, TX. It is the tail end of Palo Duro State Park, absolutely beautiful there. I'm sure most of the distance riders on the forum know the spot.

Special welcome to any TWT rider especially those in the Panhandle and southern areas, Abilene, Midland, Childress, etc.

Won't make this one. GlitterCritter and me are doing a very special ST-Owners NASA tour on Friday and plan to attend the Wings Over Houston Airshow http://www.wingsoverhouston.com/index.htm on Saturday with a few other ST-Owners ...maybe I can find a pie vendor at the airshow and claim attendance!?!?

[JLS1126]

I'm a probable...

it's close enough i can do any "honey do's" the boss thinks of and still make it!

[Chirpy]

Hmmm,

Just realized that this fits in between soccer games. The first one is 10:45 so we may be a little late.

I'll double check but that means that the whole clan may show up. Hey, we gotta eat somewhere

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

hey Chuck, might want to move me to the maybe list. now i have about a 50/50 chance of going.:-? :-?

[stinky93071]

lol.. I will see if I can get some pie when in DC..

[wildebube]

I really want to go to this one, but alas, it's the same day as UIL Area marching contest.

been there done that a long long long time ago..

[FrayAdjacent]

I'm gonna plan on making it to this one.

(Kinda curious how most will react to my ride... hehehe)

[Chirpy]

I'll probably get you to tell my wife how much fun it is, and that she should trade her Riva for one. She won't listen to me ;-)

You'll probably be surprised, there's a pretty serious super scooter contingent on here.

[Gilk51]

I'm gonna plan on making it to this one.

(Kinda curious how most will react to my ride... hehehe)

Looking at my cards, I'll see your Yamaha...

and raise you a Piaggio

http://www.twtex.com/photopost/data/500/susan_newseat_5735q.JPG

Now, provide a picture for your next bid. :mrgreen:

[FrayAdjacent]

Chirpy, it's a deal!

I find that a super scoot is just the most practical ride for me for now. It's also my first two-wheeled ride. I can handle a standard transmission (8 out of 10 of the cars I've owned were standards), but the twist-and-go simplicity of the scoot is GREAT.

Also did a 300 mile ride with a few other scooter owners a couple weeks ago. Had a blast!

Here's my ride:

Nice scoot! :thumb:

Really like that shade of blue.

[Roadking1962]

This will be my first ride with TWT. It sounds like fun. Count me in.:eat:

Mark me as a resounding "yes" and hopefully I can take the three wheeled gem for a little test ride http://www.twtex.com/forums/images/smilies/trustme.gif

I might bring two other riders...Joe Six-pack and Joe the Plumber with me too.

RB

[Gilk51]

hopefully I can take the three wheeled gem for a little test ride

I don't think she has let anyone but family do that yet but you might be able to sweettalk her due to the previous scooter rides you led.

We'll be there as well. I am thinking about a piece of pie smuggled in as I have no clue as to whether pie can be found there. I'll be in my navy blue Lone Star Flight Museum T-shirt among the throng. I hate to miss the pie run, but this is the day for the long awaited ride.

Isn't that the only airworthy B-17 around these days?? Hey, I'll be on the lookout for you...be glad to share PIE and a ride!!! :trust:

[rangerpat]

I'm taking my MSF course the next two days and I would love to come up there. My grandfather lives minutes away from there. Are there any people riding from San Antonio?

[Pooh Bear]

We are!

[Gilk51]

I decided to try nametags again :doh:

So, check post #1 if you have any + names, I would like to put "real" names along with screen names, including passengers. So, please let me know & you will have your very own TWT souvenir nametag! :yawn:

[kurt]

What is the difference between red and green?

[Gilk51]

What is the difference between red and green?

Green means I have the nametags left over from a previous event that you didn't make it or I was too late to get the tag to you... :doh:

[WoodButcher]

You can move me to a definite. I'm coaching a volleyball match again at 10am, but will ride to that and head straight over when my team wins.

[RockmanTex]

Chuck, you can add me to the list.

Steve

[FJR Bandit]

Anyone else planning on going to Pie Town, NM? It just sounds like the right place to go for the first "International Pie Run). :mrgreen:

Right now it looks like I'll be leading a group of 1 from Carlsbad, NM. :doh: :rofl:

[DFW Dano]

Chuck, put me and Skull of Energy down as probables...

Do you have a DFW to Hutto route set up yet?

[Soozy]

I just HATE to disappoint my adoring fans when I post early and then have to back out. I just wait until I am sure.

OR I could tell the truth...which is this: I am too random to plan that far ahead.

The truth hurts. But then WE RIDE!:rider:

[Gilk51]

Do you have a DFW to Hutto route set up yet?

Nothing written but here it is (now): :yawn:

Staging at the same old Minyards as before: 6:45 AM (Yes, I know, it's still dark then)
LeMans start at precisely 7:00 (I can't be late again)

Route:
slab I20 and I35W to US67 @ Alvarado (get a quick start)
US67 business into Cleburne
SH174 south to FM933 near Blum
FM933 to Whitney
SH22 west to Laguna Park
FM56 south to Valley Mills
SH6 east a block or two (gas & rest stop - roughly half way)
SH317 south through McGregor and Moody and SH36
SH36 and US190 around Temple to 95
95 south to Taylor loop (397 I think)
Loop around Taylor to US79
US79 to Hutto

Return route open - probably similar but may go back thru Meridian instead...

-------

I think Steve and Wendy are planning to leave a little later if this is too early. Maybe they will pipe in.

How does that sound?
:rider: :eat: :rider:

[Soozy]

Can't we go earlier?? Just kidding!!! It is perfect. I LOVE to be on the bike before first light.

[Snoopster]

Change my status to 'definitely'. Oh, and the first name is Matt. ;)

See y'all guys (and ladies) there!

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

hey Chuck, looks like a couple more are going from the houston thread.

[DFW Dano]

Hey Chuck, I put your directions into a .gpx file. I did a 2nd one going thru Manfield and staying off of the 820/35 bridge. There is a return route for you thru Meridian. :rider:

[aharbi]

If I may offer a perhaps safe suggestion on directions. Hwy 79 is very busy and on the fast side. East street (where Debbie's Pies is located) does not have a traffic light where it intersects with Hwy 79. Those coming from the west on 79 will have to cross on coming traffic and watch your backside as there is no turning lane. It may be safer to proceed a hundred feet to the traffic light at 1660 which has a turning lane and a turn on green signal. Go one block, turn left on Farley, right on East St. Also, as you make the turn onto 1660 you can actually see Debbie's Pies across the open field to the left.

[Texfire]

+1 on going to the light to turn. 79 traffic is not good through Hutto, the lanes are combined and there aren't protected left turns except at the light. Good heads up Art.

[FJRMike]

put me down as a "maybe" at this point.

If I go it will be with the Houston group meeting on 290 at 0800.

[StromDude]

Well, in the interest of the safety and wellfare of my fellow Two Wheel Texans, I had pie and tea at the Texan Cafe today during a beautiful Friday afternoon ride east of Round Rock, just to make sure it was up to the high standards of this group. It was excellent as usual. They are ready for us tomorrow, they were expecting 50, I told them the last count was 50-65....they are really nice, stated we can park in the lot across the street for overflow parking, they open at 11am....Bill

[Pooh Bear]

Hopefully, around 10:30 - I don't want to be late again...

Possibly-Danny said no way and Brian is a possible-we call him "B-Rock"

For those coming from the north, taking Hwy 29 in Georgetown to 1660 bypasses 79 altogether and is a much less stimulating ride. You can do the same thing coming south on 95.

Thanks for the recon, Bill. I was tied up in meetings all afternoon and didn't get a chance to call them. So, thanks for giving them the warning, too! ;-)

Looks like Pie Town, NM is out. :giveup: We was going to be leading a group of 1 :doh: so instead I decided I will do a DS :flip: ride to Cloud Croft for the pie. Have a great time tomorrow.

Off to the meet point.

Everyone ride safely.

See you in Hutto or whereever your final Pie destination may be... :sun:
