Small group ride Monday from Katy to Fayetteville and back. Will be about 50% dirt roads, around 230 miles round trip with the possibility of mud and a creek crossing if the water is low enough. Anyone is welcome as long as you have knobbies and can keep up on the dirt roads.

Meet location and time:
Exxon
26150, Katy Fwy, Katy, TX 77494
8am rolling out at 8:30am

4 riders down for now, 1 maybe


Updates will be posted on the motohouston thread

Which water crossings are you planning? Cummins Creek at Dungen's Mill and upstream at Klimer/Secates should be a lot of fun. I haven't crossed either one in a month, but the creeks are holding a lot of water right now. Plan on getting wet.

Plan was for Cummins Creek at Dungen's Mill, Hadn't found the other crossing. Will look into it to.

Edit, I had seen it but was unsure if it was actually something to be crossed. Looks like we will check it out.

Here's the Cummins Creek crossing at Secates during low water. Sorry this is the best photo I have. On the map it is just south of the railroad tracks. Some Garmin maps will not let you route through the creek.

Have fun.

I posted this on MotoHouston, I was wondering if you could provide the .gpx or Garmin files for the ride? I probably won't be able to make the 28th but the ride looks very interesting.

Yes I do. I will have to modify it as it starts from my house at the moment. I will upload it when I get a chance.

Rob, over on Motohouston, he said he would post it once he removes his home as the starting point. I guess he doesn't want us moto-trash parking our vehicles on his grass. I can understand that! Looks to me a better starting point may be Brookshire or even further west.
 
Here is the gpx file

In exchange for his routes, I offer up the mighty "Cheeseburger Route". Probably 60-70 percent dirt. Some of it pretty fast dirt.

Absolutely Rob, it will be after new years for me though. I am trying to finish tiling the back porch before the new year. WHAT???? You rode and didn't invite me? :eek2: Probably a good thing though, I have been humping on this home improvement thing. Picking Roger up along the way would be good!

Not to hijack his thread any worse than I have, I get worried folks tire of me inviting them! I ride some almost every nice day. You're always welcomed, plus cegusman should come up this way and try our stuff!
 
Sounds good. Got a few more friends that would also be down.

Could not make it today. Anyone up for a ride tomorrow?
I ride 690R and prefer dirt, lots of it. Cheeseburger loop or this one sounds good too?

Free later this week? I'm going to the Texas Bowl tomorrow, just not enough time for both.
 
Ok. Off all week. Woods and MX will probably be closed for another day or so, so DS or my bicycle will have to do. Wednesday?

I could probably do part of the cheeseburger loop or the run to Groveton on Wednesday. Both start and end in the SHNF area.

I'll be on my 350exc, got to do first service on my 690 and that won't be done by Wednesday.
 
Okay, what time and where do you want to meet? I'm up for anything you might know in the area? Say 8:30 at Chevron gas station at 1374 and 45?
 
We rode the Fayetteville loop today, good ride! Three of us started in Sealy at Tony's Family restaurant. Great ride. The only problem we had was near the end of the ride at Kulow Rd. We crossed what looked like private property but wasn't marked. We reached the other side and the rancher showed up and informed us we WERE crossing private property. He wasn't mean or ugly about it but was firm. I told him we weren't aware and he allowed us to go on a little further to get off his property. There probably needs to be a route around that little section.

Here's a picture for those verbally challenged, like me.

Thanks again for the route.
