Second Annual Chicken Fried Bacon Run March 6th 2010

[TLRam1]

I didn't think he would know those answers and unless he's a MC postman I figure he would be an average rider, 13-18K is not many.

Okay, I have not seen any posting here yet of departure times or group leaving times.
I plan on leaving Frisco Saturday morning in time to make it to Snook the scenic route if possible, probably around 8 A.M. I will meet anyone along the way if they would like to come along. Let me know.

Well guess we need to look at that will check on routes any suggestions or if anyone has a route feel free busy today will post pics in a few days of what we are doing !!!!

This takes you a bit out of the way but I've heard the FM3090 ride is awesome...I put the starting location as my house because I wasn't sure where we wanted to meet-up, and I know Allen lives not to far from me...we can meet up here, at Allen's if that what he has planned, or somewhere like the intersection of 1488 and Honea Egypt Road (Honea Egypt is a nice ride when you're not stuck behind a car).

Allen, any thoughts...I know you've been busy getting that bike painted (which looks awesome BTW).

Sound good to me yeah sorry for the delay last day today  Looks great Jesse asked about us going to Roundtop after for Pie I think we can swing that if everyone agrees!

I like the Honea Egypt road and the ride thru the forest so sounds good I should be back Weds so will jump on it then...

We can meet you guys in the Woodlands, we will be coming from Humble area.

[a65bug]

Does anyone have a GPS that they can plug the route into, I'll get us lost since I've only been up that way once...

I stumbled across that route up the west side of the forest by sheer dumb luck.  After I got through the forest, I stopped to check to the time and see if I needed to head home, a nice guy stopped to see if I needed help, we started chatting about bikes and he told me about that FM 3090 route, said it's the best twisty route in the area.  I didn't have time to run it but I've been thinking about it ever since (then my 2nd daughter was born and I've had no time to ride since).

As for meeting up, whatever works best for everyone...Allen, do you have a place you ususally meet-up with folks?

[rjb/AKA Bob Barram]

Jerry, I have not figured that out yet, just started looking. I will let you know, or if you have suggestions let me know.

Royers has awesome pie.  I was there recently and I think they turned away "pie only" people because there was a 30+ minute wait for lunch.  I remember them asking before if we were having lunch or just pie.
