Pie Run I of 2006! Edom, TX 28 January

[wczimmerman]

Where: The Shed in Edom, TX :eat3:

When: January 28th at 11AM

Why: Fabulous pie and fantastic roads!

Directions (as provided by dutchinterceptor):
From Palestine: Take FM315 to the left off of SR155 just north of the loop in Palestine. You can follow it all the way to FM279 where you will turn left and follow it into Edom(Shed will be on your right) OR you can turn left off of FM315 onto FM314 which will take you straight to Edom and dump you right into the Shed's parking lot.

From Rusk: Take FM 768 north into Jacksonville(lots of curves)....go north on US69 until you reach Mount Selman and turn left on FM855. Turn right on FM346....then turn left on FM344 and follow it north where it will turn into FM2661. Continue north until you reach SR64. Turn left on SR64 and then take an immediate left on FM279. This will take you straight to Edom(Shed will be on your right).

From Van/I-20: Take FM314 south until you dead-end into FM279....turn right and the Shed will be immediately on your right.

From Athens: Take FM317 east until you get to FM314.....turn left and follow it straight to the Shed.

From Canton: Wait.......don't go near Canton on the 28th....and definitely don't speed any where near the town...anytime. It's mecca for Highway Patrol.

Another "No Fly Zone" is a small construction area between Poyner and Chandler on FM315. The road is ok but LEO is definitely watching the construction zone.

:tab Ohh... I might actually NOT be on call that weekend! There are an awful lot of dirt roads between here and Edom :twisted: Maybe I should lead a DS contingent up there and back :rider:

So, is that a maybe?

[Tourmeister]

It is a definite maybe ;-)

[wabbit]

I"m a definate maybe too! I've never been on a pie run

[Gilk51]

You really need to get out more! :eat3:

WC, put me down as a definite unless it rains or we have an earthquake or something else happens... :ponder: :rolleyes:

Will check with my riding pardner to see what she thinks... :trust:

[wczimmerman]

No problem.

[Soloman]

Well assuming I'm still living here or not in MI or MN, I will definitely be there, so please put me down as a maybe. I'll know for certain where I'll be in 1-2 weeks.

[Sleepy Weasel]

I think I can find my way to Edom again...

[FWRex]

Put me down as a definite, please.

[rbickle]

Sounds good,

Had a great time last time.
Kelly, you going to plan the route again?

Rick

[Gilk51]

What happened to NC? :-(

[wczimmerman]

List updated.

[dutchinterceptor]

Chris, I'll be glad to alert the Shed if needed.

Another note: THP has really been radar'ing everything in that area so you might want to be on your best behavior and bring your detectors!! Most everything in Van Zandt Co. is 60 mph especially Hwy 64!!

Oh yeah...I'll be there.

[terrebandit]

I'm in....

anyone up for a little e-tex tour (maybe a couple hundred miles) afterwards? I would be willing to lead a small group, weather permitting of course. Let me know by sending me a PM. Serious inquiries only.

Dave

I can vouch for the quality of Dave's rides.....you won't be disappointed!!
You can add a black VFR to your list.

Patience; I'll have an offer on in 3 days.

[Hotboot]

I'm a maybe for now. :eat3: Pie good !

Yes, please do. Thanks!

Too far from Temple? :roll:

Don't the grandparents need some time with the kids??:ponder:

[wczimmerman]

Don't the grandparents need some time with the kids??:ponder:

Well, the in-laws are in Houston (3 hours away) and my folks are in NE Colorado. It's not bad though since we prefer to do our own thing.

[Gilk51]

Nah-I'd love to go, but Jen will be out of town at a women's retreat with the church so I have kid duty for a couple of days.

Now, both girls did excellently riding to CS on the December Pie Run - there should be plenty of seat real estate for both of them behind you! :roll:

[wczimmerman]

:rofl:

[dutchinterceptor]

Or at least strap the littlest one to the tank!!

[budzrex]

Enjoy the Pie I have a trade show in Tampa that weekend.

[txbanditrydr]

Add me to the list also.... Dave - will trail for pie!! :eat: :trust:

Count me in for a slice.

I'm interested, however, I'm not interested in slabbing it to Edom from the DFW area. Does anyone have a good route from Mansfield (south Arlington)? I'm on a gixxer so the twistier the better! :eat:

The last time we went (November?, dang forgot), Kelly (FWRex) headed a route from Venus out south and eventually thru Gun Barrel City to Edom. Look for past Pie Runs in this section to dig it up (I would but lunch is just about over :-( )

[Kidder]

Chuck, is this it:



Here is his route to Edom (used last time), approx 135 miles:

from Ft. Worth:
Hwy287 to FM157 (Mansfield)
right to FM157 (stop in Venus)
south on FM157
left on FM875
right on buisiness 287 (W. Main Street) Waxahachie
left on Wyatt Street (FM878)
right on I45 (Ennis)
left on FM85/334
right on Hwy175
left on FM316
right on FM2709
left on Hwy19
right on FM858
right on FM279 to Edom

[dutchinterceptor]

Just spoke with Cathy at the Shed. She said she'd warn her dessert person about the 28th.

[Latech70]

I'm a definite maybe, as well. I love me some pie. :eat: :rider: :thumb:

[Roseknight]

i will have to skip the pie.. gotta stick to the diet if I'm not gonna overfill the new leather jacket.
Count me as a maybe
and possibly and additon bike if I can talk my neighbor into going

Mitch

[bec6389]

I'm a maybe and there is a possibility of another bike w/ride and passenger. :eat:

[fz1nutt]

Count me in !!! DFW group starting in S. Arlington ?

[Gilk51]

Chuck, is this it:
That's it! :thumb:

[kurt]

I'm in.

[Gilk51]

I'm in.
Hurray! :thumb:

But, uh, what bike will you be riding on the 28th? (end of the month, you know) :roll:

[bluedogok]

I'm a probable.

[FWRex]

Chuck, is this it:

Actually, we modified it a bit last time. Here's the revised version:

Hwy287 to FM157 (Mansfield)
right to FM157 (stop in Venus)
south on FM157
left on FM875
right on buisiness 287 (W. Main Street) Waxahachie
left on Wyatt Street (FM878)
FM878 becomes FM 813
cross I-45 on FM 813
right on FM 660
right on Hwy 34
left on I45 (Ennis)
left on FM85/334
right on Hwy175
left on FM316
right on FM1861 to Martins Mill
right on FM858
left on FM 773
right on FM279 to Edom

Although, truth be told, I might hang a right off of FM 1861 and take FM 2339 straight into Edom this time. Either way should be good.

So who's putting the ride together from the Fort Worth/Arlington side of things?

Kelly

[wczimmerman]

[mnapuran]

Looks like I'm 90% in :)

[Vitto]

I'm a maybe gotta bring shock in for rebuild:-( and if I get it back by then I will be there........:rider:

[whoa]

Probably slab from Austin to Waco. How are the roads out east of Lake Corsicana and s/w of Lake Palestine? Tiger can do dirt roads.

I'll look back at old threads as suggested.

[vfer]

I am New to this forum. I got to meet some of you fellow bikers tonight in longview. Is a pie run the same as a poker run?

[Gilk51]

Caleb, right? I think that I accounted for all three of the other Bandits! Crazy that there were 4 of them!

:welcome: Glad to meet you this evening in the Bandit Parking Lot!

Oh - the "Pie Runs" are very informal - just an excuse to get together for lunch and/or pie and meet with other riders that are usually from other places & ride a wide variety of bikes! The location changes each month but the "regulars" appear more often...

[Sleepy Weasel]

I am New to this forum. I got to meet some of you fellow bikers tonight in longview. Is a pie run the same as a poker run?

Radically different... The pie run premise is based around meeting at a fixed place for lunch/pie. No other stops are planned/required. You can join a big group, or a small group, or ride solo. The only place you really have to be around the rest of us is the destination.

[Squeaky]

The only place you really have to be around the rest of us is the destination.

And if you're like me and have no concept of time or distance, you can almost miss meeting the group alltogether! :roll: Ok, so I had no idea how long it would take to get to Marble Falls....

[Gilk51]

Ok, so I had no idea how long it would take to get to Marble Falls....
Fine. Do that. This month's Pie Run is to Edom... :roll:

[Squeaky]

Fine. Do that. This month's Pie Run is to Edom... :roll:

Yes, I'm well aware (but still not sure if I'll be able to make it). I was referring to the ill-fated run to MF that had me leading a confused bunch and almost missing the group because we got there so late. Luckily, y'all waited around in the parking lot until we arrived so that we could snap a few group pics, then y'all left and we went inside and ate by ourselves. Oh well. It was a beautiful day and a nice ride anyway!

Oh, and here's a snapshot of the confused riders in Bastrop, right around the time y'all were sitting down for pie...

Hey Caleb, We will meet at the Shed at about 11:00AM, visit with the gang, and then have lunch (and/or pie). If you're interested, I'm leading a short ride after that. I'll probably use one of the routes (or a combination of them) that were posted by wczimmerman on the first post of this thread. The exact route will depend on whos riding with us (so far 3 interested) and the weather. Let me know!

I think that I accounted for all three of the other Bandits! Crazy that there were 4 of them!

Bandits rule! Right Jay, Bob, Vee Dub, Caleb? :dude:

[Gilk51]

Yes, I'm well aware (but still not sure if I'll be able to make it).
Well, we always like to see you and listen to the ride stories. This one shouldn't be as far a Marble Falls. You need to meet the East Texas guys (and gals) - Jessica was asking last night (Longview M&G) about the females that ride & we tried to convince her that she wasn't always going to be the only one!

[db]

Bandits rule! Right Jay, Bob, Vee Dub, Caleb? :dude:

Very true..but the 'nekkid' ones are faster. ;) :coffee:

[wczimmerman]

OK-Updated the list again. Since some of y'all have posted but not mentioned if you're coming, let me know if you're not listed yet.

[pub610]

We enjoyed last night's NETEX M&G so much:thumb: that Jessica and I are planning to show up in Edom, as well. So that's two more.

[Kidder]

For the DFW riders that did the Kelly/Chuck route, how long did it take? Would leaving at 8 and following the route that Kelly modified give plenty of time to get to The Shed by 11:30?

[Gilk51]

Yes, I think so. Last time, we were to leave about 8 and didn't get away until later but still made it on time. That included a petrol stop in Gun Barrell City.

I was hoping that ZRex Kelly would volunteer to lead it again. :trust:

You need to get that young lady to register so we can call her by her screen name...

I enjoyed meeting you two.

Also on the Edom Pie Run, T-Bandit Dave said that he would be leading an East Texas ride afterward, so you might look into that, too...

[avtnbandit]

Got my profile picture up now and am looking forward to the pie run

That pic isn't from a pie run. No rain!

Chuck, why didn't you just double-dog dare me and get it over with?:nana: Okay, we'll meet at the Exxon in Venus at the southwest corner of Hwy 67 and FM 157. Kickstands up at 8:00. For anyone else who doesn't feel like looking back for the route, here it is:

Hwy287 to FM157 (Mansfield)
right to FM157 (meet in Venus)
south on FM157
left on FM875
right on buisiness 287 (W. Main Street) Waxahachie

FM878 becomes FM 813

right on FM 660
right on Hwy 34

left on FM85/334
right on Hwy175
left on FM316
right on FM1861 to Martins Mill
right on FM858
left on FM 773
right on FM279 to Edom

Looking forward to it.:thumb:

I'd like to go back to Mosiers sometime. The breakfast was pretty darn good from what I remember. That's a funny thing I've noticed about riding a motorcycle.....every road you take leads to a restaurant!! :thumb:

Put me down as a Definite Maybe, I finally quit my weekend job last Sat., now I just have to be nice to Mama to get a kitchen pass.:roll:

[MCRyder]

Just got my Ride Texas mag today, the one with all the Top 10 listings. In the "Top 10 Desserts" our next Pie Run location, The Shed in Edom, got #9. Come the 28th I think we should all raise our pie forks towards the kitchen in tribute to the hardworking staff who work so hard to have us coming back for more pie :bow:

If I can get a trunk, and the weather is good..my SO said she'd try riding on the Zrex to the Pie Run..so I'm a Maybe.

Never thought much of Ride TX Mag but was Mosiers Restuarant @ Lake Fork listed in that top 10 rating? They are better than the Shed, IMHO.

None of it matters anyway because I'm now back on the Atkins diet (as of two days ago) because of some reckless abandonment at Mosiers last Sunday. It was brought on by some HM/Warm CHERRY PIE and ICE CREAM in a huge bowl combined with seeing myself on a TV interview on Monday with my gut hanging out.... I regress.

Leaving for Baja on the 26th. Will be a four to five thousand mile ride. Pie is good, but tacos are better. Have a good ride. HB

[wabbit]

I'm in. Might bring my wife is the weather is decent. I'll be there either way.

[wczimmerman]

Added a few more to the list. Looks like it'll be a good turnout!

[Soloman]

I'll know for sure by next Tuesday. Going to NC on Monday and should know by that evening if I'm moving yet again.

[dutchinterceptor]

Useless Information:
The Shed is now under new ownership by the same people that have the bakery across the street. I've heard good and bad reports. My personal experience is that it hasn't changed much. They've just added a few decorations. The lady that was running it opened up a restaurant in Chandler called Maw's Kitchen I believe. Her husband had crashed on his Harley, had a bad head injury(no helmet), can't walk now, and barely function. Story has it that she coudln't take care of her husband and the restaurant so she sold the Shed and opened a new one?? Who knows.
Let's eat!!

[vfer]

Well I'm a for sure.Bad weather is the only thing that will hold me back.

[Kidder]

I'm already in but could you add a friend of mine to the list? He'll be on a red/black Hayabusa.

Don't know about the accident, but she is now operating a restraurant in the old Dairy Queen on Hwy. 31 in Chandler. Good food. Skipped the pie that day so can't say for sure about pie quality. (What exactly is it about pie that drives this bunch?)

[Squeaky]

(What exactly is it about pie that drives this bunch?)

Sugar and whipped cream! :rider: (do we have a twitchy smiley on a sugar high? :lol2: )

[Gilk51]

(What exactly is it about pie that drives this bunch?)
Just an excuse to get out and ride, socialize, and eat! We like to be a little different with the excuse - so pie it is... :roll:

It'll take me about 20 minutes to get there. How about you??

[gocatgo]

Ummmmmm :ponder: - it would take me longer than 20 minutes.

I'll just eat the leftover birthday cake in the freezer - that'll do me 'till the 28th
:mrgreen:

If you'd ask them to have a buttermilk pie hanging around when we get there, I'd greatly appreciate it.:thumb: Thanks.

[Gilk51]

I could go for buttermilk, too! http://www.texasarlingtoncs.us/pics/smilies/righton.gif

Thanks for the suggestion, Kelly!

[Texas T]

I have a suggestion for a Houston area pie place that Cagiva, Scratch, STrider and I ate at today. Details are in my range report (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7382).

[MusicMan754]

I'm planning on going this time. :rider: Never been on a Pie Run. My wife is not going though. :( She says it's too early for her. :giveup:

[FJR Bandit]

Never made it to a Pie Run last year and it is looking bad for this year. :-(
I have to go to Florida on the 26th or 27th and will not be back until the 29th. I'll have to see what Feb and Mar looks like.

Have fun and be safe.

This time I eat pie...........

[wczimmerman]

Made a few more edits and additions.

pub610: I think pie is one of the few desserts that remind folks of the past (kinda like Grandma used to make), is usually light on the stomach, and a reward after a good long ride. Cobber would be another option.

Texas T: I read that info on the new pie discovery. We'll have to check that out when we come around to the SE rotation! Great find!

[Gilk51]

I'm planning on going this time. :rider: Never been on a Pie Run. My wife is not going though. :( She says it's too early for her. :giveup:
OK - we need to work on Kevin then.

Susan will not make it either - she has an appointment that she can't change... :-(

Looking at the NOAA website, I see there's a 50% chance of rain/thunderstorms on Saturday. I've been wondering if the pie run would be powerful enough to end the drought...

Yeah, but it's still early. They had that chance of rain on Wed, then Thursday, now Friday/Saturday. It would not surprise me to see if slide out a bit more as we get closer to the weekend.

[budzrex]

If you want rain order me a slice:rofl: Hey FJR where are you going to be in Florida? I am on my way to Tampa this weekend myself

[bluedogok]

I figured that you must be coming in for this Bud since there was a 50% chance of rain......

[budzrex]

Only in spirit, I have to go to Tampa for a trade show or I would be there
I will order some pie on saturday in the spirit of the day:eat:

[birdwh]

Really wish I could make this one, but maintenance calls. New wilburs progressive springs, 10-wt oil and general rebuild on the forks (leaks like a sieve/bounces like a lincoln).

[FJR Bandit]

Budzrex,

We are going to Lake Worth. It's drive down, load up and then drive back in time for work type of trip.:doh: :giveup: Going to pick up my wife's step father and move him back to Texas.

And to stay true to the forum.:mrgreen: .....I'll have a slice of pie on Sat in the spirit.:eat:

To keep from cluttering this one too much, I started a thread for folks wanting to put together a ride from the north side of Dallas.

http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7432

[FWRex]

And for the folks leaving from the other side of the Metromess, the details are on page 8, third post down.

By the way, Theresa, I believe you've ridden with my wife. Her name's Allison, goes by "veryquick" on here. Looks like she'll be joining us this Saturday.

Kelly

[wabbit]

transfer me to Definate.

I'll be there Rain or shine.

Hail, lightning, ice may keep me home.

[Soloman]

Well, you can take me off the list as I will not be able to make it. I will have to catch a flight at DFW at 4:00

[wczimmerman]

Edits complete. Soloman: congrats on the new job. Let us know how the riding in Italy is!

[dutchinterceptor]

The Shed's been warned!

[Hotboot]

Move me to the Edom or bust list.
I need to meet FZ1nutt and I owe Chuck lunch and I think I buy pie for a music trivia/Journey winner from months ago. Found the rain gear too.


60 miles to Venus and 120 to Edom from here, last time we blew through Dallas and made Venus by 9 ? o'clock. Ride planning from Denton and surrounding areas here in dis here Sleepy thread. See ya there !

[Hairsmith]

I got the GS buttoned back up last night, and taking the day off work Sat. so I can make the pie run.
Please add me to the list, sorry to be late in notifying.

Any one from deep east Texas want to ride up together?

Also I may be heading to Austin after the pie run. If the weather is bad enough. So if any one headed that way after and wants company let me know.

[wczimmerman]

Please add me to the list, sorry to be late in notifying.


It's never too late for pie!

Enjoy the ride. I cannot make this one, but if you make a ride down to Austin and need a stop along the way, you're welcome to stop by here in Temple.

jetblue-moved you to the definite list.

[whoa]

My wife is doing a 21 mile run Sat. so I'm staying back to support her effort. She has been ill so if she backs out of the run, I'll be a go for Edom again. It doesn't matter to me if it is raining or clear.

[budzrex]

Who, is that the mini marathon, or just a long training run? Just courious that is an uncommon distance not quite a marathon but more than a half. Tell her best of luck, boy I need to strap on my running shoes myself.

[terrebandit]

Looks like 70% chance of rain on Saturday. If it rains, I will not take the bike so consequently, the ride I was leading afterwards would be canceled. I'll still be riding over there in the cage for B-fest with you guys/gals.

Edit: If any of you are staying in the E. Tex area on Saturday evening, I can do a ride the following day (Sunday-weather permitting). As of right now, the weather looks excellent that day (70's). If you are interested in that tell me in Edom on Saturday morning or send me a private message before Saturday 5:00 PM. We would get a fairly early start on Sunday morning - approx 9:00 AM

Dave

[gocatgo]

I'd like to meet up with ya'll at the Exxon in Venus for the ride to Edom. Still on for leaving at 8:00?:rider:

[whoa]

Thanks, I'll tell her.

She's in the Austin Fit program training for the Freescale Marathon in Feb. She's been sick recently so is concerned about being off her training. Its amazing, I've never attempted anything like that. Hats off to anyone here who has done/attempted a marathon.

[DucGirl]

I guess you can put me down + 1 as a maybe (I know it's only 2 days away and all)...

all depends on the weather

I love to ride, believe me, but when it's raining and chilly, I can think of better things to be doing...lol

[wczimmerman]

Made a few more edits.

[wczimmerman]

Well, the weather report is improving. They're calling for 40% today, 70+% tonight and only 30% tomorrow. By noontime and after things should be clearing out nicely.

[jcyuhn]

Just got a day pass from the warden, add me to the list!

Tyler forecast shows 70% until noon, seems rain is more likely as we head east. Who cares.

Do we have a group leaving from North Dallas/Richardson/Plano that I can join up with?

- JimY

[rbickle]

Well, it looks like rain tomorrow morning. I guess it will be a good time to see if my new riding suit is waterproof...

I'll be in Venus at 8am, rain or shine.

You sure about that :scratch:
If it is raining in the morning, I won't be there. I just wish it would clear a little earlier. I have this thing against leaving while it is raining, now if I get caught out in rain, that is a different story.

heeh - scott - you and I think alike!

if I have to ride in the rain on my way to school (while I was still in school) or on the way to work, suce, I'll suck it up, but if I'm out for a ride...it'sa different story - if I'm CAUGHT in the rain, it's a different story - I just have a problem waking up in the morning with it raining and saying "What a great day for a ride on two wheels!"

hehe

[Latech70]

Looks like I'll be working this weekend. So, I won't be able to make the pie run this time around. But, I look forward to another one sometime in the future.

Y'all have fun. :rider:

[txbanditrydr]

Too bad Jerry.... I'll won't be able to hit the ETM&G next month. BTW, how's the new house coming along???

[Latech70]

BTW, how's the new house coming along???

House is great. We need to get the back yard fenced in and either get some sod put down or put out some seed, but all that will have to wait for a while until we can afford to do more.

[Vitto]

channel 5 just said "an abrupt end to the rain by noon" :sun: YEA

Wish I actually had rain gear but it will be warm I will dry out at some point.....

[AustinTrophy]

Sheesh! It's been forever since I logged on. I won't be making this one :-( I was out of town last week and will be leaving again on Monday, so I'm Mr. Mom while I'm home so that my poor wife can get a break and some sleep.

Someone eat some pie for me!

[mnapuran]

Welp... looks like Todd and I are out. Leaving while raining just isnt worth it. Got other things to do tomorrow anyhow. Especially if it's gonna be nice Sunday... might plan a Sunday afternoon ride :)

[thestudent]

I've got to do another pie run, but alas it won't be this one. Ya'll have a great time and be safe.

[fz1nutt]

O.K., so lets start seeing who could ride on Sunday. I say do it a little later and be there around 1:00ish. Anybody else up for Sunday?:sun: :rider:

[fz1nutt]

I do still have 3846 posts to read, but pie is more fun.:eat: :eat:
Can some one find out if they already made extra pies for us. Just trying to guilt a few folks into Sunday. More whole pies available !!!!:eat3: :patriot:

[txbanditrydr]

Sunday is not a bad idea..... I'll be there either way or one of either day but won't ride in the wet. Updated forecast is 100% chance of rain from 9 till noon in the Tyler vicinity.

[Kidder]

You trying to make it rain on Sunday too? :mrgreen:

My wife is well enough to run tomorrow so I'm out Saturday. I could ride on Sunday.

[Hotboot]

If I still feel like hammered DS (does not mean dual-sport) in the morning, I am staying in bed. Sunday is a possibility, a seperate thread is in order for that endeavor. I'll know if I ride Saturday when it gets here.

Hey Banditry Dr., I am up for Sunday with Pub610, not excited about the rain :giveup: either. Probly ride from Whitehouse to Flint and then North. Where do we meet?

[bluedogok]

The only info that I found for The Shed was on a site called Van Zandt County Line (http://www.vzcountyline.com/kountryKitchens.htm). It states that they are open 7am to 2pm on Sunday. Can anyone in the area confirm this?

I would be up for a dry Sunday ride.

[Gilk51]

I can't do a Sunday ride - I have a meeting. :-(

So, I am going to attempt the Saturday Pie Run. I think that there are already some die-hard crazies that will do it. I'll reassess in Venus - if I am not there by 9:00, go without me... :doh:

Besides, I want to see Kurt's current bike before he trades again... :roll:

Hey, Kelly, do you have a FRS/GMRS radio for your Collett? I am going to bring the Autocom, so maybe the front end can guy talk to the back end guy...

They're open on Sunday till 2:00 but there is usually a huge church crowd. I've seen people lined up off of their porch starting at 11:00. There is the bakery across the street also that isn't always that busy.

[MusicMan754]

Put me down as Not Coming. :( I'm not feeling very well. :puke: My wife has been sick this week and it looks like I've got whatever she had. Hope you guys have a great time. Drive Safe!

Guys have a good run today. I will be there in spirit off to the airport
for a weekend in Tampa, I will have pie in your honor:eat:

[gocatgo]

It's raining a steady downpour here right now. Yea!! - we need the rain.:clap: BUT I'm going to pass on meeting in Venus at 8:00. I'm going to wait a little later then ride to Edom.
Jeez, it's just a little rain......I must be getting soft :shrug:

[FWRex]

Okay, it's cold and there's a steady downpour outside. Allison and I won't be riding today. We might be up for a run tomorrow, but I'll have to check on our babysitting situation for tomorrow. Buddy, you're definitely here in spirit.:mrgreen: :storm:


Kelly

[Gilk51]

Yep, I am looking at a steady downpour also but haven't checked the temperature.

I think I'll skip the Venus meet also and see if it lets up a little later. I may give a late run to Edom a try.

Right now I have to do something about water leaking into the sun room. :-(

bud: :storm: :giveup:

[terrebandit]

If I show up there at 11:00, is anyone else going to be there? I'm not taking the bike but I'll just save the gas/time if no one is going.

Dave

[txbanditrydr]

+1.... looks like a pretty heavy line of showers should be hitting by 11 :eek2:

[Gilk51]

Hmmmm - I am thinking of switching to the cage & blasting out there anyway. It is still coming down steadily here.

See y'all there :sun: :eat:

[MCRyder]

Looking out my door for the forecast, WET. Still gonna brave the elements and ride up (all of 15 minutes) . I'll be on the BMW (Bad Motorcycle Weather), ABS sounds good today. I'll be using A Zen method while riding. My late riding master, Har Lee, taught "you must let yourself ride BETWEEN the raindrops :zen: (I was a lousy student, where is that rainsuit?)

[dutchinterceptor]

Well, I knew I bought the Frog Togs for a reason. We can have a Wet Gear Contest. Who's rainsuit leaks the most!!

[Gilk51]

Well, I am wimping out and switching from the Zuk to the Honda (Accord).

Leaving presently, will be there to record the amphibians who make it...

(new camera in tow) ;-)

[bluedogok]

How about a Sunday Pie Run to Hico tomorrow?
Since The Shed closes at 2pm and gets real busy with the church traffic I thought maybe The Koffe Kup would be a good alternate.

[rbickle]

Hey, where was everybody?

I was the only one sitting in Whataburger in Venus this morning with everyone else looking at me funny. Decided to come back to the house.

BTW, the waterproof riding suit is only waterproof for about 30 minutes or so...

This little kernel of knowledge is one I found out at last February's Pie Run, and is the prime contributor to our not going today.

I think Scott's got a good idea. I don't care where we meet, as long as it's tomorrow.:sun:

[fz1nutt]

O.K. Let's all chime in on who would like to meet at Hico or somewhere else to meet up, and I guess eat if thats important:lol2: .The weather is looking good for riding with freshly washed surfaces. Let the masses speak:eek2: :eek2:
