A Texas Adventure Riders Association

Come to breakfast, meet and talk with other like minded individuals. Some go for a ride afterward some just ride home, get that bike out of your garage, our clocks are ticking.

Post Breakfast Ride Information

If anyone is up for a post breakfast ride see the optional route map below. Groups usually take off around 10am.

The Adventure Breakfasts & Rides are all about fun, camaraderie and being safe. Some groups will focus on completing the route, others will just relax and ride to their cut off time and head home.

The route is a no host self-guided GPS ride, as the ride is self-guided join a group or lead one.

A group size of 4 - 6 riders with about a maximum of 8 is optimal, grouping by bike size or desired pace is also beneficial if possible.

Rain date information will be posted on the Thursday before the ride if necessary.

*Disclaimer - I build the routes on my computer using the Roads of Texas map book as my guide which is the best and most accurate I have used, but not perfect, and Furkot's mapping program. So the route may not be 100% accurate. If in doubt, turn around and find another route - DO NOT trespass.

For those that join my group
When I lead a group I don’t stop for lunch, I have several nature break stops and a stop midway out in the country for snacks or a sandwich I bring with me, then of course there are the planned fuel stops.

I stop at every non-obvious corner and wait for the entire group and make sure the last rider sees the proper way to go, there is NEVER a need to ride above your comfort level to keep up, we won’t leave you, I encourage riders to spread out to avoid the dust. The daisy chain method also works well, especially when its extremely dusty to keep the group even more spread out, the rider in front makes sure the rider behind makes the corner and so on until the sweep rider makes the corner. As long as the rider in front takes responsibility for the rider behind no one gets lost. However please tell someone in the group if your plans change and you decide to break off from the group, that prevents you being searched for.

Safety and rider etiquette
Having your emergency contact information on you and having that information readily available is critical. This is important not just for group rides but everyday. Even though you may have a buddy along on the ride you may get separated on the road.
At minimum:
Name
Your street
Your town, state, Zip code
Driver's license # & state
Emergency contact
Emergency Phone
I taped mine on the bottom of the visor of my dual sport helmet, I also taped another on the back side of my fairing near the dash. The important thing is that it is easy for anyone to find.

Respect landowners and other road users, slow down and ride quietly when passing, people, vehicles, animals, homes, etc.

I may have an interest in meeting up and a day ride. Will depend slightly on my work/travel schedule. I know its only a few weekends away but I think in about 2 weeks I can confirm more positively if I'll attend.

I'll be there 'less something dire happens. Los Dos Amigos is a 'scooter ride.'

That looks like a great ride & temps should be dropping by then. Alas I will be somewhere between MOAB & central COBDR.

****, can't make the ride, but the route looks like fun. Lots of sand and water crossings. Gonna save it and run some portions I haven't been on before. Been on a few arrowhead hunts on some of those roads up towards Click though, fun stuff!

Ain't able to make it now.
 
Re: Adventure Breakfast & Ride - Sat 9/16/17 @ 9a Los Dos Amigos, Center Point - TARA

I am interested in joining....

Is this route "slow rider" friendly with dirt sections? Or lots of high speed pavement?
 
Re: Adventure Breakfast & Ride - Sat 9/16/17 @ 9a Los Dos Amigos, Center Point - TARA

Still suffering on the western slope. Y'all have a great ride.

The speed or lack of depends on the group leader.

When I lead a group I normally ride 60-65 on paved sections and spirited on the unpaved. The route is just a suggestion, the route I'm going to ride.

I would say normally 1/2 of the breakfast attendees just ride to breakfast then go their own way. Depending on the number of ride participants it's beneficial to all when we can split into groups. It looks like by the number of downloads of the GPX we should have other riders that could lead a group.

I should qualify my statement as it is more of a "slow bike" situation than a "slow rider" one... I am the one with the WR450F that isn't happy at high pavement speeds.

I have joined two of the rides so far and enjoyed both... just trying to minimize the time that the engine is screaming and begging for mercy at high RPM :rider:

I always run a GPS and I can also lead (or co-lead) a group if necessary... However, I don't know enough (yet!) about the different routes in the area to make changes on the fly or come up with any ad-hoc routings...

Re: Adventure Breakfast & Ride - Sat 9/16/17 @ 9a Los Dos Amigos, Center Point - TARA

Almost most blew off the bike breakfast, bike drama in the garage last night, went to bed to late, too tired, too busy, etc.

Glad I went great day, fun roads, great fellowship and good riding companions.

Hope to see you at the next one.

Had a great time! Perfect weather... a little warm in the afternoon but not too bad.

Nice route with good scenery... looking forward to the next one!
