SEE POST #6 FOR THE ROUTE AND A BETTER DESCRIPTION
So November will be my last ride for the year. I have lived up to my end of planning and leading 12 rides. Not that I will quit, but I have a shoulder surgery that I am looking at, Moving into a new house in December and breaking in a new bike.
Yes, the Tiger 800 is being replaced.. I know you all love my Tiger...but circumstances has lead me to buying a replacement. A 2017 Tiger Explorer..Yeap.. a 1200 monster bike... It will take some time getting to know the bike and configuring it to my needs. So with that we will move on to the ride.
So, what I am looking at is starting from a friend of mines property just west of Grandbury. The ride is a route I have been planning for awhile, it was called Jens Virgin Run, but seeing how she is not riding anymore...I can change it around, add to it and make it something more challenging. So the ride will go west and the total mileage will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 miles. Probably a little less....still working on that.
Get your calendar marked and plan on a DAY of riding before all of this Holiday stuff starts.
As usual I will post the route here when it is complete.
