Great shots! What a good weekend of riding. Our Belton group covered about 300 miles. Hope I got some good images to share but I'm tired, must sleep! This was on the way down on Saturday morning. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mn5pOJDDB4"]Rumley, Texas 1 28 12 - YouTube[/ame]
 
:rider::clap: GREAT RIDE, good weather and even better seeing old friends and meeting new. Already looking forward to doing the same next year. (Whatcha say Sander?)
 
Sounds good -The last weekend of January has proven to be a good weekend for turn out. We had about 25 last year and close to 50 this year (based on a rough count at Pepperbelly's) And it gives us a good bike shakedown opportunity to get ready for the upcoming Texas Adventure rides.

Sander, thanks for organizing the ride, for leading the ride on Saturday and building the routes, which worked very well on the Sunday ride back.

Only took one picture of any consequence at our first fuel stop on Saturday, but have plenty of pictures locked in my brain.

Another great ride with the twtex folks. Thanks to Sander for putting it together and Multisurface Rider for leading the way on day 2. I got a couple of descent pix.

Nice spot for a break on day 1.

Day 2 discussion on the proper way to cross a cattle guard. :trust:

Pretty sure this is the Medina River just outside of Castroville.

Do you have a track file you can post please.

I am curious if you were able to follow your intended route down CR 362 and Deep Creek Ranch Rd between Llano and San Saba.
 
First time we had been to the Regency bridge. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P4KDEoblbU"]Crossing Regency Bridge - YouTube[/ame]

The route was adjusted to bypass that before the ride.

Check the ride announcement thread for the link to the route on motowhere. I also attached the gpx files on that thread. We rode the exact route on Saturday.

"Sound's like your only hitting on two Cylinder's" Firing up that BMW R100GS was our wake-up call, I think we woke up everyone in the county :rofl:
 
Need help with names...

I rode with both of you... well actually a long way behind you... at the Roll the Bones Rally when we were chasing Calvin on his R1100GS with the bald back tire :brainsnap

I know you have told me your name a few times, because I ask you every time I see you... but... :doh:

:tab I hate that I am so bad with names. Some people's names stick in my head whether I want them to or not, and then ones I REALLY try to remember just won't stick. Very annoying! Beth is like a Rolodex, almost never forgetting a name. Without her around I am lost :doh:
