I'm gonna hit this route again. It has a lot of shaded sections
😛


This is the route for Saturday's ride 07/04/26. Rides starts/ends in Huntsville, Tx., at the Smiley's Shell Station at the intersection of FM 247/980 on the North side of town. There is a Park-n-Ride lot at the intersection of FM 247/2821, just over the hill from Smiley's. You can leave trucks/trailers here without any problems.

We leave at 9:00am, so please be there a bit before that and ready to roll at 9:00am. The ride is approximately 240 miles. We will stop for lunch in Elkhart, Tx. It will be HOT. I strongly recommend having a way to carry water so you can drink during the ride. You will want tires biased towards dirt. There is sand and mud in some sections. Most of it is gravel.

Depending on the pace of the group, we will be back in Huntsville 5-6pm. IF you want/need to bail out, there are plenty of places to get back on a highway and head for home. Just be sure I know you are leaving the group so we don't waste time looking for you.

Sounds good! He made a lengthy report on FB, imagine it'll show up here soon! He was SOLO!
 
I can do partial but an all day affair in gear, just takes the fun out.
 
Can't believe I didn't see you, Scott. I stopped at the Kim's in Elkins, for a cold cut and a cool down around 11:30. Put in about 180mi. based out of Rusk, started at 7, loaded up at 2. I was bummed when I saw the melon trailers loaded up and I was on my bike..:tears:
