Centerville 10/14-10/15

Greasemonkey · 09-25-2006, 03:40 PM

As promised,going riding.Most likely a 300mi trip sat. and 140mi option with or without weird deers & tigers.Spoke with the folks that put the roll chart together and they will try to come.Depending,the rides are flexable and doable by most dirt oriented bikes.Have not been able to scout the 300miler so that will be an adventure.More info. later,need to find out if anyone is interested

Scott....I'd really like to do that ride again but have to be out in Ozona for a TMTC meeting that weekend....

Steve

Greasemonkey · 09-25-2006, 05:23 PM

Well one of these days.By the way how is the ozona thing going.Open any time soon.Scott T. and his buddy making the chart are trying to make the ride so we can get gps routes.The rollchart is kinda lengthy.

dbdolan · 09-25-2006, 08:11 PM

I might be able to do this one, let me check with the little lady. I hope I can keep up with you on that BRP.

fastmonstr · 09-25-2006, 09:01 PM

I've got a gps route from the ride that TRH put on a few years ago.

Do you want it?

That's the ride that I sent the roll charts to Scott for....There were a couple of "busts" here and there but it turned out OK.....

Can you attach the.gdb or .gpx files? I would not mind taking a peek at them. What kind of a run was it? 70% dirt with some nasty sandiness that I love?

Greasemonkey · 09-26-2006, 07:11 AM

Speaking to one of the fellows,it's mostly dirt.As said before those dirt roads are going away[pavement-bummer].This will be a findout trip.Centerville to Crocket to Kennard to Grapeland to, I'm probably lost now.Should be able to keep in gas,especially if the KLR guys make it.YES WE COULD USE THE ROUTES,THANK YOU.Hey Brian,getting hit with sand is'nt near as bad as rocks.Wouldn't do that[?]might need help again.Not really sure about food,may have to eat the slow guy.

fastmonstr · 09-26-2006, 07:30 AM

Here are my tracks from the ride. It started at the waypoint "TRH".

Greasemonkey · 09-26-2006, 07:37 AM

Thanks again

mcrider · 09-26-2006, 09:55 AM

Tim & I have a race that weekend & Steve has a meeting, I bet more of us could make it 10-21/22. I know I could.

jsb223 · 09-26-2006, 01:26 PM

Starting in Conroe or Huntsville?

Greasemonkey · 09-26-2006, 03:37 PM

Starting in Centerville or about 15m east on hwy7.I'll call Scott and check his schedule.His route so I feel he should get the chance to go.Any more input.Speak now or???.Really like some of you guys to make it.

If an old and slow rookie is welcome and the ride is on the 14th I'll throw my hat into the ring...

Is there a good place to park my cage in Centerville?

FirstMan · 09-26-2006, 04:44 PM

Pending other events

I would like to try and make this. I need to put many, many more miles on the bike and a 300 mile day will test my body to this narrow seat.

Greasemonkey · 09-27-2006, 07:07 AM

Folks I have to stick to the original plan,can't make it the following weekend.So let me know.

Greasemonkey · 09-28-2006, 07:01 AM

Just moving up the ladder here.Have a few possibles going,The weather is getting nice.This would be a good warmup for B/B or Jan./Mex. ride.Without a 14hr drive.

FirstMan · 09-29-2006, 09:59 AM

I am in and I have conned GetBent into joining us. While I have never done 300 miles in the dirt, I think I can handle it just fine. We will see how Jim does on this one

If I need to bring anything, let me know. I shall be trailering down to your place since my knobbies would proably not make the trip down there.

FirstMan · 09-29-2006, 10:07 AM

I think Mike Green is also in. I kinda wanted to ride down there, but I cannot find a 50/50 tire for a 19" rear wheel. Oh well.
