[WoodButcher]

I'm a possible. Actually, make that a Maybe.

[Stook]

Definitely possibly maybe and what's more, really do plan to be there.

When the time comes to saddle up, it will depend on too many factors to list, but most of the time most of the factors don't come into play.

Not sure if I just said I'd be there or not, so for clarity let's just say "I'm definitely planning to be there." :lol2:

Oh, by the way...there's no "I-45E"

You must be thinking of I-35 which does indeed have an "E" and a "W" designation when it splits to go through both Dallas and Fort Worth without losing its identity.

[Jbay]

that's close to Waco, i'm in

fyi DPS has a big office in Fairfield, and a speed trap in Teague Us 84

Oh, by the way...there's no "I-45E"

You must be thinking of I-35 which does indeed have an "E" and a "W" designation when it splits to go through both Dallas and Fort Worth without losing its identity.

That came from the address on their web site - it this case the "E" means the east side of the highway. Click on the map link and you will see the "I-45 E" as well... :zen:

I don't know why it isn't I-45 N (for northbound) 'cause it is confusing. :loco:

[Hemibee]

Kyle and I might cage it up to this one.

[FJR Bandit]

I'm out. Too far for my current condition.

[Beemer Steve]

wendy and I are in

[pub610]

Even I should be able to ride that far.
It's on my calendar and my hope are high.

[maxlib]

I appologize to anyone who saw my post to this thread before my edit.

Technology has not been my friend as of late..........................

Possible:

Looks like a nice morning ride through some areas I have been wanting to ride.

[Gilk51]

NO. Because that map in no way tells me where it is or how to get there.

:scratch: Try clicking the X in the upper right corner - you then get the regular Google Maps view.

[mmaiden]

How can anyone seriously put the words "pie" and "run" together? I am about 50 miles from Fairfield but I don't know why I would go there for some pie.

[pacman]

Because going for a beer run on motorcycles would be stupid.

[mmaiden]

Thanks for clearing that up for me. :giveup:

Some riders need a lot more than pie! :lol2:

[Gilk51]

Some riders need a lot more than pie! :lol2:

Well, we usually do lunch as well with pie afterward (OK, some get their pie first :roll: ). With a ride there and back, that usually does it for most of us.

[mmaiden]

I probably missed the earlier info but where does the ride go? I assume it begins in Fairfield. At Sam's. And ends back there?

p.s. I helped build what was Sam's Motel back in 1978, working for Nash Construction out of Huntsville. Since then I have found a more disreputable occupation, associating with the likes of John Wilson, Jeff Taylor, and Harold Richmond. lol

[Gilk51]

I probably missed the earlier info but where does the ride go? I assume it begins in Fairfield. At Sam's. And ends back there?

Actually, the destination is the restaurant - folks will come from whereever they are at, plan routes, meet up for lunch and pie, and then ride home. It's the standard RTE (Ride to Eat). Most of the planning is done by individual riders and maybe some groups from the bigger areas like DFW, Austin, and Houston. Check out some of the Pie Run ride reports for the general idea. Also see this definition (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36546).

[ItchyBob]

No buttermilk? Forget that.

[ItchyBob]

Don't roll you eyes at me.

Gosh Wayne. I don't think a KLR comes with enough farkles to suit you. You should plan on spending a lot more money in the DS market. :lol2:

P.S. I am hoping to attend!!

[CaroleAnn]

Put me down as a probable, most likely!

[wildebube]

Count me in.

[shadow247]

So are they going to be serving pie just for us? The menu says there is no pie on Saturday? What's up with that!!!

[Jbay]

How can anyone seriously put the words "pie" and "run" together? I am about 50 miles from Fairfield but I don't know why I would go there for some pie.

pie runs sounds better than going out for coffee and cigarettes

http://www.youtube.com/v/pxYRsqkRS_k&hl=en&fs=1&

the "run" part even sounds a bit athletic

[Tracker]

I'm in, but only if you provide me with a navigation system preloaded with a route that includes adequate restroom and hydration stops.

:)

Why would you even need that if you're on the XX you'll get there in 38 minutes from your house, assuming you the popo don't catch you.

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

I'm in. Any body else from the area wanna do this one ?

put me down as a def/maybe. (i just like the little guy doing the coo coo sign)

if i get to go, i'll ride with ya!! :rider::rider:

Soozy, according to SPOT you have not moved from your last location for 3 days:haha:

It'll take at least 40. :trust:

I'm sure we could make the necessary arrangements for you to take the Blackbird home from the Pie Run. ;)

[rad3766]

Please put me down as a strong maybe.......:ponder:

I'll be taking my truck, if anybody from around Houston has anything they need to get moved up towards Fairfield or vise versa lemme know. :sun:

[drfood]

Right now we are planning on making it. Put us in for 2.

Thanks.
Darrell

[MotorcycleBelle]

Oh, they do too have pie on Saturday, I was just there a few Saturdays ago dropping off the kid with the grandparents.

They used to have buttermilk pie but they had too much left over at the end of the day so they quit making it. Not enough people ate it. I asked. :tears:

There's a big buffet and you can order off the menu. It's been fairly busy everytime I've been there.

Put me down as a maybe since I will have just returned from my Colorado trip and may not have another kitchen pass. ;-)

I think I can speak on behalf of others here, I'm glad you and your partner will be going and I look forward to meeting you. :sun:

[KawRider]

Tami and I will be there.

[kennyd]

Maybe........

[shrek]

Put me down as a "definite maybe". Maybe this will get me some Sat. work like the pie run in June did.

[Gilk51]

Glad you verified the pie on Saturday! :sun:

Don't you write the kitchen passes? :ponder:

Well, if you can't make it, at least a Pie Run can be good for you! :zen:

[pktmerlin85]

I'm a possibility. I"m too much of a foodie to resist trying one of these pie runs.

I'll probably wind my way down there by myself - I'm still having too much fun managing riding by myself, without trying to concentrate on the added input of riding in a group.

[focus frenzy]

Sam's got a double :thumb::thumb: from a truck driver the other day at work.
he was upset that the blowout he had was going to keep him from making it to Sam's for dinner. said he always stops there as the food is real good.

[RASZ]

Make that two more. Craig and Robin will be coming with me

Oh ya. Neal (Eltee) will probably come with us

I am going to propose an "after Pie Run" destination:

His place of employment, Family Powersports, is putting together a benefit for Zac on Aug. 29 (Sat.) from 11-3. There is to be food, entertainment, and stickers/bracelets with Zac's racing# on them. Their address is 1811 Fort Worth Hwy. Weatherford, TX 76086

If you hadn't read the story on racer Zac Chapman (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42063).

I think this is doable for us DFW riders - find a good route back over to Foat Wuth and participate in the fund raiser. :ponder:

[leekellerking]

Maybe.

Does anyone stay the night? I'm not sure Bikey (or me) would cotton to riding Sugar Land to Fairfield and back in one day.

Lee

[TerriBaker]

Kurt - I hope to see you there and hope you bring your side-kick!

[TerriBaker]

Hey RASZ - which route are you going from Richardson? thanks!!

[dukey33]

It's short, 100 miles, I expect we'll be there before 11:00 unless we start late, or dawdle along the way.

And, here's what I have so far for return:
http://tinyurl.com/lkmx22
Depending on when we leave Fairfield, and how many people are with us, it might be just right, or it could be too long, but there are plenty short cuts. Breakup is the Dairy Queen in Farmersville, sort of equidistant to home for everyone, but that can change, too.

Anyone near College Station want to meet up and take in some curves?

I'm thinking form Bryan:
FM974 onto Macey Road to OSR
OSR east to Normangee to FM3
FM3 north to US79
US79 north to FM1512
FM1512 to FM39
FM39 south to FM80
FM80 north to US84 in Teague
US84 east to Fairfield

I'm thinking 2.5 hours.

[Gilk51]

The benefit for Zac is in Ft. Worth and a couple of folks have tossd out about 130 miles (couple of hours if you come up 45 and then 287).

I haven't seen an email yet - is the gun show at Amon Carter or downtown?

Sounds like a busy weekend...

[JimNtexas]

I had a great time at the last one. I'll go if I can. Probable.

amon exhibit hall. I have never been there. and yes it will be a busy weekend.

[Gilk51]

amon exhibit hall. I have never been there.

They have the shows there often. It is a bit west of downtown, north of I30 off Montgomery street. Parking is a bit of a problem since they have construction at the museum across the parking lot.

If you can get away from lunch and pie by 1:00 or so, you should be able to make the show by 3 and have a couple of hours before it closes.

I think I'm a probable for this one. I LOVE PIE!

Chuck,
Please upgrade from a strong maybe to a definite.

[Mer]

Terry, we will be leaving here around 9 am
Best Western Christopher Inn & Suites
752 Pinson Rd
Forney, TX 75126

going to Fairfield:
http://tinyurl.com/l7bvo5
It's short, 100 miles, I expect we'll be there before 11:00 unless we start late, or dawdle along the way.

And, here's what I have so far for return:
http://tinyurl.com/lkmx22
Depending on when we leave Fairfield, and how many people are with us, it might be just right, or it could be too long, but there are plenty short cuts. Breakup is the Dairy Queen in Farmersville, sort of equidistant to home for everyone, but that can change, too.

Sounds like a good route. I would love to meet up with you guys in Forney. Did I mention that I love PIE?!:eat:

(update me to a definite)

[FJRMike]

I should be there - will post note about a group ride leaving from Clear Lake area.

Anyone riding through the Fort Hood / Killeen / Belton / Temple? This is the route that I'm considering taking. I don't know any of the area off of 190 and I-35 so it will be an adventure to me. Let me know if you want to link up.

Once you take out all the cops, EMTs, CHL folks, libertarians, nerds, bbq chefs, rocket scientist, lawyers, and other folks who never drink and ride, it's a pretty calm group. :thumb:

You can use old pie run post and pics in the storytelling section to show him this could be the most tame biker group ever to come together for lunch. The biggest ruckus will be over whose in line first for some chow. :eat3:

All kidding aside, these pie runs are made up of some of the best motorcycling has to offer up. If you show up, you'll be glad you did.

A little word to the wise about eating at Sams. As soon as they give you a table, go check-out, and get what you want (desserts wise), before you eat. The pecan pie goes fast, as some other pies do too. If what you want isn't there (before you eat), it might be there later. Hardy

Here is the info for Saturday if anyone would like to ride with us

Meet-up at Valero in Forney on Pinson at Hwy 80. It's a Fina in the streetview below, but it's Valero now. Address 900 Pinson is what I had to use to get streetview to cooperate. It's on Pinson a short block north of Hwy 80. You can see it from the Shell station on the south side of 80.
http://tinyurl.com/nz4soa
Let's try to leave about 8:30.

This is a short 100 miles down there, leaving 8:30 we can stop along the way and still get there by 11:00.
http://tinyurl.com/m8pt4j
The end on this route isn't really the restaurant, it just ends in Fairfield, I had an argument with Google Maps. But, I have Sams in my GPS, so we can't get lost :-) :-) :-)

The route back is 260 miles, designed as a normal afternoon return. If we stay late for lunch, or whatever, there are lots of short cut opportunities, including if we were to really stay late we could just come back the way we went.

Easy to follow and a little more scenery than I35/HWY84.

I live just north of Taylor. I'll intercept in Thrall though - just past it - because there isn't anywhere to sit on the loop around Taylor. There is a store in Thrall I can wait at though; I'll just watch for a mis-matched group of bikes to go by. :lol2:

I'm about 90% on attending. I'm debating about meeting some friends for breakfast tacos around 7:30am, then bailing on them close to 8:30am. Unless I can talk some of them into coming with me, that is. My plan was to head out 79 a ways, then somewhere near Marquez head north then catch something heading east. Just don't remember the road numbers. I tend to avoid the interstates.

Are you going to be at the Shell station store in Thrall? that's all I can remember there.

I'll post up again later if I'm definitely going and then we can figure on meeting there.

Oh, and I'm in for sure.

I'll be with you all in Spirit. I'm riding with a group up the Vulture Mine Road to the back side of Wickenburg tomorrow. (assuming I don't get another flat) Good luck finding it on a map, but if you're curious, start at Wickenburg AZ, enlarge the map, and then look for the VMR on the SW quadrant of the town and then follow it down the mountain to the SW.

Unfortunately I have to ride 90 miles just to get to the meeting point. That's the one major drawback to living on the south side of Phoenix. All the good stuff is on the north side.

See you there. That's three minutes from my house. I know the intersection, but what is the duck pond?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it.

I owe you pie, if memory serves. See you in Fairfield!

Attn: Waco Area

My son rode his bike down from Carrollton just for the Fairfield gig. So....
Travis, my Dad and I will be going to Fairfield!!!

Travis and I will be meeting Dad at the 19th & Lake Shore at 9:30 and leaving from there to Fairfield.

Going the 84 out of Waco to Coolige, then Wortham to Fairfield route. Should be there by 11:00.

We should be passing I-35 & American bank around 9:40-9:45am.

Will probably see you on the road?

Chuck: What time do you figure to arrive and leave Malone? Barn

My guess is around 9:30 and leave about 9:45. I won't go to the stake for it though.

It kinda all depends on what time we can get away from Minyards and pick up all the hitchhikers on the way... :-P

Janis said she is not up for 300+ miles in the saddle, so I will be solo. :zen:

[rhodyne]

If we can be kickstands up at 9am in Thrall at the Thrall Food store (I think that is the name of the new convenience/gas store) then my mapping software says we can be at Sam's by 11:15. Sound good?

8:30 to 9:00 if fine. Gives me a chance to top off. See y'all there. :clap:
