How early do y'all think we'd have to get on the road to make it? :ponder:

Not sure, maybe 0700 to 0730 earliest for me. I'm still looking at routes. Quickest looks like about 2.5 hrs but I would like to get off super slab at some point. Got any suggestions?

[WoodButcher]

Probable for me.

[kurt]

Probable unless they make me work the UT game. :puke:

[drfood]

Put us down as highly probable. Depends on my travel schedule for work at the end of this month.

Katy crew, we'd like to tag along with you folks if you're willing to let us tag along. J-Dawg is debating which bike he wants to ride. I gotta get the Strom inspected and registrations tag renewed before then.

[M38A1]

I'll be a 'no-joy' on this one. I'm cooking bbq for a local riders group/maintenance day.

[leekellerking]

Put me as "in."

Google says 3 hr 19 min from my house on the slab. 3:39 if I go through Halletsville.

At least post up your bbq blog so us grasshoppers can learn and enjoy vicariously.

[StromDude]

I'm out, NHRA Drag Races up in Ennis...yee haw

[kurt]

Probable unless they make me work the UT game. :puke:

I guess I should point out that this is game day in Austin. The kickoff is at 2:30 which will tie up traffic from 11:00 until 8:00 or so. Look for ways around Austin if need be. The new 130 tollway will be the best $6 you ever spent if you planned on I-35 fron the north.

[thumper_tx]

Out for this one.

F 650 Chain Gang Rally at Mena Ark that weekend.
All bikes are welcome.

Let me work on this one with the homeowner..... If he's good with it, I'll post the addy. :eat:

[KLRKrup47]

put me down as a maybe.. haven't hit one of these since Hutto

[drfood]

It is also a home game in College Station. Right now the game is scheduled for a 6 PM kick-off.

It has been YEARS since I went to a game at Kyle Field so I have no idea what the traffic will be like.

But it is something to consider in route planning.

Wow, the perfect storm.....t.u. in Austin and tamu in CS and a pie run in Kyle.

An update: Texas State in San Marcos has a home game that day as do the Baylor Bears in Waco.

[rad3766]

For now, I am in!!!

Don't go to any trouble for me. I'll probably have to hoof it back to make an evening family engagement. Nice thought though.

[focus frenzy]

The new 130 tollway will be the best $6 you ever spent if you planned on I-35 from the north.

only if you are a local native, they stick it to the tourist just passing through.
no where is there a sign stating the posted price on each check point is a minimum price and mark ups and shipping handling fees will apply to folks just passing through.

if you are looking for a smooth very lightly traveled piece of road to do a top speed run on, the 130 tollway is the place to go! when we went up it after the Ingleside pie run there was so little traffic it was spooky.

[focus frenzy]

oh! count me in!!
looks like a interesting combination of roads between Blanco and Kyle. :rider:

Well, there are three base prices. Toll tag, cash, or pay by mail (read the plate). Cash they consider the standard rate. Toll tag is a discount and pay by mail is a surcharge. You are right though that they don't advertise the fees well.

[Dirtrideroader]

It is also a home game in College Station. Right now the game is scheduled for a 6 PM kick-off.

It has been YEARS since I went to a game at Kyle Field so I have no idea what the traffic will be like.


I am going to attend the game in College Station. I might consider running for pie before hand. I would be leaving from the west side of Katy for Kyle.

Here is a route;

[free2ride]

Anybody from DFW going down?

[aharbi]

Two more please. My wife and I. My grandsons live in Kyle (my daughter lives with them) and they are excited to see all the bikes.

[rhodyne]

For those thinking of using the toll roads there is a rates chart for ya...

http://www.texastollways.com/austintollroads/img/rates.png

...and yes, very smooth, very quiet ride. You'll be dumped out at Buda on I35 (they have a new stretch not shown on gmaps) barely 2 miles north of Kyle

Note that some spots don't do cash. Then your at tag or mail.
Per their info, if you have a toll tag for any other Texas toll-road, it will charge on it just like one of it's own.

'Course that isn't too fun a run. 95 to 973 goes most of the same way with a little more scenery and fewer acres of concrete.




While we're on the subject; might was well put me down as one "yup". I'll be there unless there's flash-flooding / freezing or an F2 tornado / hurricane. :storm:
And that's quite a trick seeing as that's our 17th anniversary. We didn't have anything planned but she won't ride with me anymore. I'm working on her to try and get her there on 4 wheels. We'll see. :zen:

[msnyder755]

Just what ever you do don't speed through Kyle and make sure your registration and insurance are up to date. Not that anyone here has anything to worry about because we are all law abiding citizens while riding right;-)

[leekellerking]

Uh, no, not yet. But she did give me the beaded seat cover I have on Bikey. Do you think that might explain it? :lol2:

[FJRMike]

I should be there for this one.

[alphadog]

I'm a definite maybe, if my back :eek2: will let me...

[WoodButcher]

I'm a definite maybe, if my back :eek2: will let me...

Get in the truck and drive over if you have too. It's close to you and just seeing all the bikes will make it fun. Hope to see you.

[Soozy]

I am going.

And to Free2Ride...bunches of us from DFW usually go to these. We meet at the closed Minyard's at Green Oaks and 20. A couple weeks before the ride, a thread will be started just for the group riding together.

[r1150gsrider]

I did not want to go to Fort Worth to meet up with you but find a spot along the way.

I don't know yet, but I am always open to ideas. I think I will not go til Saturday. I would love to meet up along the way.

[Daryn]

I'd like to make it to this pie run - I've never been able to make one yet. I'll be coming from Houston and hoping to hook with a riding group from there. But I'd be heading to Dallas after the ride and would love to ride back with a group. If there's a Dallas group heading out, can you please keep me in mind to ride back with you?

Thanks,
Daryn

[jbobiccus]

Slap me on there as probable.

[ctoons]

My husband, Mike, and I are maybes. Anyone else from Polk, San Jacinto, Liberty, or Montgomery county planning to go?

I am very doubtful as far as riding. I may drive down - haven't decided yet.

I am going to look at possible routes with a link-up in mind.

But I'd be heading to Dallas after the ride and would love to ride back with a group. If there's a Dallas group heading out, can you please keep me in mind to ride back with you?

Watch for more details but there should be at least one group and maybe a couple of singles to help you out.

But me down as maybe. If the Wing has her new shoes on by then, then it is a strong maybe. :trust:

We are meeting up at the Flying J on 242 at 59 at 7 AM and heading out for pie!

Upgrade us to probable. Ninja Princess and her husband will also be riding along with us.

[Gilk51]

For DFW riders, I started a ride thread here (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?p=661865#post661865).

I still don't know what my status is. I will check with the eye doctor on Tuesday to see what he thinks.

[leekellerking]

Chuck, move back down to "maybe." Bikey just passed out again and I'm waiting on AMA tow.

How many miles will AMA Road Service tow without extra charge?

[leekellerking]

35 miles.

I'll be there for sure. Sadly my wife won't be able to come this month either as she'll be home for a wedding. Then again that means I can go at faster rates of speed without getting hit from behind. :mrgreen: I won't forget my camera this time!

You can bump me to the definite list and +1 for the wife.

But we'll be there on four wheels instead of two because she won't ride with me anymore. A problem of my own making from my wilder days...which surprisingly aren't that far back. :lol2:

Besides we have other things going after we leave the meet-up. She decided we weren't wasting our anniversary after all. :trust:

For those coming to the Pie Run there is a pirate convention in town and they all ride HD. Use caution as they are known to ride side my side at speeds slower than the posted limit in very large packs. They try to distract you by having a half dressed pirate lady on the back but don't let them lure your attention away as they have been seen riding in a state that can be only described as a wobble. Sorry I can't give a more accurate description as they have all seemed to ban together in some sort of solidarity by wearing multi color bandana's to cover their true hair color. I can tell you however, black leather chaps are abundant. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

In all seriousness, there are an estimated 5000 Harley owners camped out in San Marcos and the surrounding areas and you will just have to trust me that they are everywhere.

Won't be able to make it this time - in-between eye surgeries (second surgery is Monday), so won't be riding for a couple more weeks yet... :-(

Hopefully see you in Ponder or Hutto...

What's up with the peepers Chuck?

Remember the 6 million dollar man? ;-)

I went with the standard 20:1 zoom & targeting reticle... :zen:

OK - the truth - cataract surgery - lens replacement. The right eye was done 2 weeks ago and tested 20-25 a week after surgery. I am not wearing glasses for the first time in almost 50 years! :sun: The left eye is still uncorrected but will get done Monday. Right now I have "hybrid" vision - nearsighted in one and farsighted in the other. My main concern is close-in vision since I have been nearsighted all my life. Having both done & adjusting together should be most of the solution. Off-the-shelf reading glasses may be the rest of it.

Sorry, probably more than you wanted to know... :shrug:

Good deal. My mom had her's done a while back and is also glasses-free other than reading. Glad it wasn't anything serious. Well, time to go find and pack the liner. It is 36 degrees in Strawberry right now but the high is forecast to be 86 and 100% sunny. Should be a nice day for a ride. Maybe I'll get a chance to try out my new heated grips.

i will be there.
