PLEASE RSVP!! :tab It is crucial that we get a fairly accurate head count so that the restaurant can plan for adequate staff and most importantly, so they can make sure they have enough PIE!! So please let us know if you will be coming or if you have to cancel - just post in this thread to do that.

[focus frenzy]

sign me up chuck! seven down five to go.

[Buffalo]

I'm thinking about this one. Far enough away that I either have to leave real early in the morning or ride the superslab down nether of which is real appealing.

And yes I get the the time reference in the title.

And 11:00 a.m. CDT is 9:00 a.m. AST (Arizona Standard Time). :-P

Is that a hint? I already looked at the mileage... 1005 miles door to door from my house to the restaurant. :trust:

I was thinking about it, but I have 3 back-to-back inventories that week which are typically 15 hour days. I would be too pooped at the end of the week to tack a Saddlesore on top of it. :yawn:

It's a go for me.

Now, how many folks understand the time reference in the title? :ponder:

:lol2:


Chuck, I'm in. Hmmm, time reference. :confused: I've always had trouble with pronunciation of this town. Some say Elgin with a hard 'g', like the Ginn Sisters. Others with a soft 'g' as in the name of the formerly famous timepiece maker. Hmmm.... :ponder:

[greeneggs&ham]

Mrs. Ham & I will be there. More pie, Please!! Sam

[JT]

I'm in! :eat:

Somewhere between maybe and definite maybe I need a slot for "going to try to make it". But for now I guess I am can list as a maybe with hopes of making it.

[bmcdonau]

Chuck, put me and Kathy down.

[leekellerking]

Well, maybe we could do a pie run to Wilcox? :eek2:

Fort Stockton???

We did Ft. Davis in 2008, Slaton in 2009, and Adrian this year to test the waters for a west Texas event. :shrug:

Eventually, I want to try Pie Town, NM...

[Bumblebee]

Put me and the wife down as probable. The condition is that the baby sitter gets back to us.:twitch::rolleyes:

[Texas T]

Fort Stockton???
Willcox is too close; the Wing wouldn't even be warmed up by then. Of course if folks wanted to make it a Track Day that would be an option...
http://www.indemotorsports.com/site/

Ft Stockton would be a piece of cake; that's only 600+ miles. I could ride there; eat pie; turn around and be home in time to qualify for a SS1000.

Yeah, I'm trying to convince the Goldwing group out here that we need to meet the GWTA New Mexico contingent in Pie Town some weekend. That too would be an easy-peasy ride. (for me) You Tejas folks might need to make a long weekend of it. That's a 700 mile run one-way from Fut Wuth.

[scotchale]

Any particular deadline for a final "yes?". Right now, its "thinking about it" possibly with up to three of us.

[Gilk51]

Any particular deadline for a final "yes?".

Not really. If you know sooner, that's better. But we have folks say they are coming the morning of the run (and after I have already left). :lol2:

3 or 4 maybes with me.

We usually have a group leaving from SW Arlington - I usually wait until the week before to figure out the details. A quick look shows 180 miles on a straight shot (I35 and 95).

[jhansen]

probable...did i spell that right? Working a day trade to get there.

[TWTourist]

Chuck, put me and Kathy down.


Will you be leading a group out of SA? I should be in town the night before. Will you be taking some back roads for FM pics?

[Tmelle]

In

[BILL N]

I'm out, taking the family to Schlitterbahn....as a side note, on your initial post, it say July 2010, not August 2010.....:giveup:

voyagerrider and ladyrider are probable at this point.

I'm thinking it would be good to see you again.

[ninjette]

Put me down under thinking about it...
I may be riding behind Pub610.

[Bone]

I'm in Austin so this is a no-brainer. Still, gotta run it past the co-pilot first ;)

Please put me down (and my +1) for probable.

[frijole_tex]

Too close not to go. In.

Austin riders. Check out FM 969 MLK / Webberville Road to FM 1704. Decent ride away from 290.

[buck000]

Hmm, 26.6 miles from my door. I'm IN, should get there in about an hour or so... :rider:

[honda_silver]

Probable.

Isn't 26 miles the length of a marathon? Don't even need the bicycle :lol2:

That would be my route, puts another few miles on it too!

[buck000]

Planning on riding your motorcycle or your bicycle?

Well, the most direct way there is 26 miles or so. I may wind up going near Lexington on my way over, though. :trust:

[DAS]

I'm a 90% probable :-)

I had a great first time on July 31st.

[TombstoneRider]

We are going to try and make it finally. So assuming I am able to finally convince the wife to get up early enough we might just make it. so put me down for a very strong "if my wife lets me".

[Buffalo]

Move me to probable and add Robin as probable too.

We are working on plans for the ride down and there may be a few of the other Dallas area Burgman riders making the ride down with us. We'll have to superslab it to get there by 11 but the ride home can be a more interesting twisty FM road ride.

[Bumblebee]

Won't make it unless I can find a new bike in time. I'm fine, but the bike didn't fare so well.

Well I jumped the gun and had pie today but I'm still planning to made the ride next week.

Stopped at the Sunshine Cafe in Wolf City while I was out getting pictures of FM road signs for that game. They had buttermilk coconut pie so I just had to try it.

As of now I'm a definite maybe for this ride.

BTW, I got the title. I used to have one, too.

Since I am back to scootering, and am staying In Whitney I guess put me down for a in, and it may be my last, as I will be moving to Okla. hopfully perm. to get a fresh start on life.

This is a possible route;

West Side Route (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&doflg=ptm&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=116217865244739386844.00048e7fbf71735f3da70&t=h&z=9)

Okay, Clayton was one of my maybe's. Good news.

[Gilk51]

Added a ride route from SW Arlington (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?p=777737#post777737)

Looks like a bit under 200 miles.

Plan to pick up Leon going thru Cleburne. :mrgreen:

meet a bit before 7 and leave at 7 or a smidge after. MapSource shows 3.5 hours & I like to be a bit early. ;-)

Plan at least one stop in Valley Mills (approx halfway), maybe another after that.

Haven't decided on the return route yet. (thinking about snagging the courthouse in Georgetown and coming back thru Gatesville).

[z_clark]

Count me as a maybe - it would be my first pie run! :sun:

[scotchale]

"I may wind up going near Lexington on my way over, though"

Carefull on Lexington, there was a couple of rough spots on 696 where they were doing some road construction, this was after Lexington and before Elgin, about mid-way along that route. Looks like a couple of bridges are being replaced/put-in. Just went through there this past Saturday.

Scotchale

[WoodButcher]

I'm thinking Pie at 11am and maybe wander across town to Meyer's for BBQ after. Kind of the wrong order, but timing works out right.

[RockmanTex]

Chuck, you can add me to the list.

[Soozy]

OK...I am in!

Who is riding from Katy/West Houston??? :rider:

[Dirtrideroader]

Who is riding from Katy/West Houston??? :rider:

Why don't the West Side peoples meet in Brookshire at the Truck Stop on the NW corner of the intersection of FM 359 and I-10. Say meet at 7:00 and leave by 7:30.

Oh yeah, Chuck you can move me up to "In" and remove R1150GSrider. He won't make it.

[Mudclod]

I'm there, dude!

[smithr]

I almost forgot about this one. I only put the first half of the year in my calendar.

I and a guest are a Maybe.

[scottie]

What route are you guys planning from the Katy area? Just curious. It's highly unlikely I can make it, but you never know.

[pub610]

Chuck, I thought about it and I've reached a decision.

I'm in.

Please move me to category one.:mrgreen:

[Windsong]

Windsong and Windrider are definites.

[voyagerrider]

Looks like Voyagerrider and Ladyrider are out for this one after all.

My nephew, Brandon, passed away this morning. Brandon was 26 but aflicted with Downs Syndrome so he had all of the respitory and cardiac issues that go with it. He had been more in the hospital in the last month than out. He had already lived over 20 years longer than doctors gave him at birth, partly due to the teniousness of his parents. My brother and sister-inlaw were determined that he have as many opportunities as possible. He is part of reason my sister-inlaw became a nurse so she could care for him. He graduated highschool at 21. He will be missed, but the bible tells us that God takes care of the little children. Eventhrough Brandon was 26, mentally he was about 3 or 4. Brandon was as a little child and God is taking care of him.

Despite my protestations, she's developed a (small) list of friends who are not like-thinking scooternasties. One of those 4-wheeling friends insists on Jessica's presence at a birthday thingie on Saturday.
She's out:headbang:

[alphadog]

I'm a maybe...
Ok, make that 2 maybes, with 2 we haven't asked yet...

[TombstoneRider]

My wife and I will be there.:rider::eat:

I'm a very strong probable. Looking forward to it. :sun:

Dang, I live just outside of Elgin... that would be a 5 minute ride for me...

... but I work Friday night until 8-ish AM... and have to work Saturday night. I'll be too tired to ride up there.

Y'all have fun!

[Coolhand]

OK I haven't been following the thread but depending on the time and temperature AP (After Pie), who's up for Old Sayers, Bastrop State Park, Gotier Trace, etc to Paige, Paint Creek Rd to McDade, and Old Hwy 20 back to Elgin?

[scotchale]

You can move me, my wife and a friend of mine from "Thinking about it" to "Probable" My wife has a brief work related meeting on Saturday morning, but otherwise, should be leaving from the Caldwell area about 9am, should get us there about 10:45 to 11:00. Three bikes.

Scotchale

[Red Brown]

I plan to attend. I will also bring another 3 to 4 riding zombies with me. We will meet the Starbuck's Coffee in north Austin around 9:00.

[Coolhand]

I was talking to John T. over lunch... How about those coming from Austin and interested in doing the "Before Pie Gravel Ride" meet at Coffee-a-Deli on North Lamar (by Ross' Old Austin Cafe) for a stands up departure soon after 08:00? I've marked it on the map above. We'll ride back roads to Elgin and pick up anybody else who wants to go. I'm guessing we'd be in Elgin at ~ 08:30 - 08:40. Ron you could meet us in Bastrop for the ride back north?

Here's a route I often take to Elgin that runs south of 290. Or we could run north of 290 and swing by the New Sweden Church... pretty nice. But I usually take the northerly route on the way back...

Sounds like a plan...I was just drawing up the same route across old 20.

Somebody needs to wake up Jerry, he needs to get that KTM dusty.

[SheNadya]

Move me up to a definite. Especially if the weather is going to be as nice as today!

[WoodButcher]

I'm doing street down there, but you can try to talk me into some dirt on the way back.

Do you have a group ride planned?

[jar675]

We are definite!

[ceddec]

Maybe here.

[WoodButcher]

Do you have a group ride planned?

Yep, about 5 meeting at the Daily Grind at rm620 and Great Oaks. Meeting leaving at 9:30am. The plan is to head out 1431 then drop down 1660 through Hutto and then down 95. Not too exciting, but better than the direct route. You are welcome to join in.

I may be out though. Just got a call from a guy who wants to swing by and buy the TA. He's a trucker heading for Houston and when he gets here is dependent on when he gets unloaded there. I won't know until tomorrow evening what my schedule is.

[kurt]

Ride it to the Pie Run. We can cuddle on the way back. :lol2:

[Coolhand]

Rusty, you sure you want to get that thing dusty? :trust:

Kurt we have a ride going out of North Austin pretty early so we can get in some riding prior to pie. I say "we" in the most optimistic sense.... so far I think it's just John T. and I...

OK I haven't been following the thread but depending on the time and temperature AP (After Pie), who's up for Old Sayers, Bastrop State Park, Gotier Trace, etc to Paige, Paint Creek Rd to McDade, and Old Hwy 20 back to Elgin?

[Gandolkf]

I'm in if I miss the arlington crowd,I'll head out on my own.

See you there

[Coolhand]

Justin, you sure meeting at eight will be early enough?

John you and I might be it unless Tom joins, and he's an early kind of guy. Collin what kind of bike are you on? John is right, about 50% gravel, but not deep gravel ( I rode it last weekend). I think it took me 3 hours to do a similar loop from my house last weekend, so I think 8:00 should be fine but we could be stands up at 7:45 to give ourselves some pie room :)

Anybody else interested? Going once.....

If there are any last minute add ins or if anybody wants to meet us in Elgin, drop me a text or call at 573-3473.

[jhansen]

Well, shoot. I am out. Failure of the cam chain guides. Not good at all. estimate of repairs...$900. ouch. :doh:

7:45 sounds good, but I'm going to meet you at Parmer and 130. I live on the east side of 35 far enough to want to avoid the extra miles.

Jerry, his BIL, and Dirtbike Dave are going to meet us in Elgin, so we'll have at least five. Ron might come out and join up as we go by the Park Road.
John

[mjjust]

Put me down as a strong probable.

[JT]

Definite maybe, where will ya'll be meeting for the pre pie ride?


Mark, Justin will be coming down Parmer then old Manor Road. We'll meet up with some more in Elgin at the cafe 8:45/9:00 for the pre-ride dusting. Look back on page 7 for Justin's route to Elgin. Join us if you can!
John

[Trailduster]

Thanks, if I make it I'll leave out at 0800 and ck parmer/130, if nobody there I'll rip up to the cafe, If I'm not there it means Ive taken Mama looking for a new car. Marc.

[Coolhand]

Roger that Marc. I don't think anybody is meeting at the Coffee Shop (~ 70 people and nobody wants to make this ride? C'mon! ;-) ) but I'll swing by there just in case. Otherwise, see you gents on the flip side at Parmer/130.

Will we have to pay bucks to get into Bastrop State Park just to ride through? Grr....

[scootergyrl]

Count me in plus 2 guests. Thanks!

[Andrew T]

Out. Will be baling hay - such is summer!

[james.cain]

Well I am going to back out, too many projects here at the house. I will take a spin thru the SHNF and return to the back yard project to wrap things up.

Hopefully I can get y'all over for some burgers before the year end:eat:

There is a special super secret entrance made just for dual sport riders. I'll show you in the morning. :cool2:

[Trailduster]

The Super secret Gotier trace or KLBJ road, Old potato to G.T. into the park makes for some good dust.

[Coolhand]

Yeah I've come in from the east side, but not had much luck from the west... looking forward to the Dual Sport Discount from Jerry :)

It's too bad some of y'all have had to back out, and I'm happy to meet some new people as well. Texas is a pretty friendly place and the moto people are friendlier than most. See y'all tomorrow. :clap:

Actually there are 4 roads to get ya on the park from from 71.Closest to Bastrop is Harmon rd just east of the light at Cola Vista.

Y'all have fun and be safe. I'll be thinking (and being envious) of you.

Ron we'd have to ride all the way around the park to get to Harmon... but I'll talk to the boyz. Are you going to meet us in bastrop?
