the DFW VRCC is having a meeting/ride combo to Riscky's BBQ at the stockyards in Ft Worth. I was thinking of riding out could come by and pick you buys up. Or I am up for something else.

Never ridden with them before.

I was thinking BBQ, but maybe away from the metromess some...

Thoughts?

Got a new place close to here that opened up. Not BBQ but good.
Called Moore's Store, it is in the newly renovated town of Ben Wheeler. Across the street is a place called Scoots and Scoops. It is an ice cream parlor lined with antique motorcycles, mostly old scooter types. I could check and see if they are going to be open. We could eat, ice cream then go for a country ride.

Good chance I will be doing the normal breakfast ride, looks like you have this figured out already and breakfast isn't close to BBQ.

I do plan to do some rides to BBQ houses in the future if anyone is interested.

so whats the plan you guys coming out here or we going up your way. Bakers ribs in canton is suppose to be good. It is on the service road of I20, or the purple pig, or Rods. We could then ride into Ben Wheeler and check out the ice cream.
here are websites

Sorry, Jim,

I simply copied the url from the site I was looking at.

Try this one:

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g56281-d649403-Reviews-Kirby_s_Barbecue-Mexia_Texas.html

Google maps shows it at the intersection of HWY14 and County Road 244, just north of Mexia. Intersection is called Ft. Parker, for some reason.

I have never been there -- just tried to find a place about halfway between us. From Van, I expect you would come through Athens....
