Sounds very doable. Which day you thinking. @blackadder , you game. How about any other Houston area folks, come on and join us.

I'm not sure about when just yet. Have to look at my work schedule. I am looking at a few roads in the area that are good rides. There are some great ones getting there from Cypress. Will check and get back with you soon. Oh, and I am looking at Sundays.

No rush, but the more we post about it, maybe we'll pick up a few more to ride with us.

The ride was a lot of fun - even the gravel roads. It was nice to meet a couple of new people - Art and John. The only downer for me was about 10 seconds after waving farewell to LesBlank, I ran out of gas. LOL. My wife came and brought me some go-juice and I made it all the way back to the house. My gas gauge 'looked' like I still had gas but it was bone dry. Lesson learned.

Which is better, the 11th or 17th of October? I'm leaning toward Sunday the 17th because I may be able to get more riders then. However, I am leaving the date up to you guys. I've got a pretty good route I am working on (with NO gravel roads) which will take us up through Conroe and Montgomery. As soon as I become slightly more computer literate I will send out a map. Do we need to start a new thread to get out to more Houston riders?

The 17th works well for me. Wife is having a procedure done on the 9th and need to stay with her for a few days. Let's keep the new ride info here, might show everyone the different rides we are taking all in one thread. ¹ I'm still wiping dust off my bike from the last ride. 😂

@lesblank I wish your lady the best and a speedy recovery!

Now, about the dust on your bike from the last ride, that makes me think you weren't riding hard enough. Oh wait, you're in Texas, never mind. Riding harder there makes the dust stick harder if memory serves...

Sounds good. Keep an eye on this thread for information.

Looking forward to having you join us. Yes, Sam Houston is a great ride. There are several good rides in the Houston area as well as out in your neck of the woods. We are planning a ride for the 17th of Oct going up to the Lake Conroe area. I think lesblank has a pretty good ride to Galveston and across to Freeport. I am thinking of maybe proposing that we take that ride on the weekend of the cancelled Lone Star Rally. Any input on dates and rides are certainly welcomed as well as any riders of any kind of bike you'd like to recruit. Just make sure they love to ride. As always, ride often, ride safe. See you on the road.

@safetyart06 , I'm liking your thinking.

 

[safetyart06]

lesblank i thought you would and I'm betting that others may agree.

 

[JasonP]

Hey Yart, where about in "my neck of the woods" are there some good routes? I havent found much.

Check out this web site. Has the top motorcycle roads as rated by riders. It's how I've have found a few nice roads.

Has anyone ran 1725, out of cleavland?

 

[safetyart06]

JasonP: lesblank told you exactly what I was going to. North out of Orange and up to Toledo Bend is some good roads. Just be careful of the law. They will get you in reduced speed areas.

 

[safetyart06]

lesblank, I am about to expose my kryptonite: I've got the map prepared for the 17th but don't know how to put it on the site or the thread. Could you give me a little direction or I could email to you and you could post. Thanks for the help.

 

[lesblank]

Might be easier to email it to me, [email protected] or text it to me if in Google maps, just hit the share route, you have my number.
