Is there a ride planned for the LSR 2007 ?
-
Don't know? Looks like Paul took his bat & ball and went home. ::)
-
I think ya'll are capable of doing a ride without me. ::)
I will be with BBC doing promotional stuff at The Spot on Saturday....
-
I new that would bring you out. ;D
What's going on? What's the plan? What am I gonna do for 4 days? ???
-
I'm sure we can put something together to fill the better part of a day. Give me an idea of how much time/mileage y'all wanna do, and I'll get after it. For those of you not from our area, feel free to mention anywhere that you'd like to go.
-
Alot of people will be coming in on Thu. After 2 days of walking up and down the streets, I personally am ready to go for a long ride. O0 I'm only speaking for myself, but after 12pm on Sat., I would like to be on the oppisite end of town. Away from the heat, and crowds.
Did I mention crowds?
I'm up for a good tour, and I know smoothx will be too. O0

I plane on doing some riding, just not as long as we did last year. My bike is going to be part of BBC displays at The Spot and off the Strand starting at 3 o'clock Saturday so need to be back by then.

I mapped out a route leaving Galveston through Kemah, up to Dayton, to New Waverly, Yankee Tavern for Lunch, back to Montgomery, Huffman, through Highlands and San Jacinto Monument, and back to the island.
Approx. 315 miles round trip.
-
That sound like a good ride. O0
Never been to Kemah, or the SJ monument. 8)
Let's leave early before Paul....errrrr ALL the drunks wake up. ;D ;D
-
I would certainly be up for a ride..... 300 miles, cakewalk..... Lets go!
-
Yall have fun. I'll be one of "The Drunks". O0 O0
-
That sounds like a great ride, but I suggest we leave before noon.
Maybe around 9 or 10 am. That's probably a 5 or 6 hour ride.
I know my way through most of it, but my knowledge of the area stops
north if I-10.
Kemah and the San Jac Monument are about 20 minutes apart.
I look forward to the ride.
-
300 miles sounds good to me say like over toward ShinerTexas for those that might not get over that way?
-
Yall have fun. I'll be one of "The Drunks". O0 O0
+1 brotha :D ;D O0
-
WELL, WHAT UP WITH THE RIDE ?
-
WELL, WHAT UP WITH THE RIDE ?
So far as I can tell, it is a "go". For how many? I have no idea, but we'll just show-up and ride! Any thoughts Boogie?
-
I plan on making it.
-
hookem.
There's an Exxon(?) at the intersection of 61st and the Seawall that makes a good starting point. Everyone ca get gassed up, and 61st has an entrance ramp onto I-45N. Just depends on which way you want to get off the Island.
Pick a time and place, and those that want to ride will be there. I think everyone has agreed that early is good.
My .02 Thanks O0 O0 O0
-
I'm in.....

Oh Yea....

The route I intended, but have no real problem adjusting, has us leaving the island on 146, and proceeding all the way to Dayton on 146. From there, we'll take 321 up to Cleveland (after merging with 105). From there, FM 1725, to 150 @ New Waverly. Then, 1375 to FM 149. Next, Hwy. 90, and then FM 244 to Carlos for Lunch.
On the return trip, we will reverse the route back to the 149/1375 split, but we will proceed on 149 to Montgomery (through the Nat'l Forest). From Montgomery, we'll take Hwy. 105 through Conroe, to 1485 and then 2100. Follow 2100 all the way down (cross the channel using Lynchburg Ferry), which will land us at the foot of San Jacinto Monument / Battleship Texas. From there, we will run to Hwy. 225, then east to 146 headed back to the island.
How does that sound Boogie? Keeps us off the interstates all together and makes the scenery worh seeing for those who don't live in our neck of the woods.

If you stick to this plan, I will meet y'all in Carlos for lunch and ride back with ya.

Jerry, as far as I know, this is the plan. Have not heard any objections as to Yankee's for lunch, at least. Stay tuned... ;)
-
hookem?
What time? ???
Where we meeting? ???
-
OK, guys... Just got home from the weekend in Austin. Not a bad 3 weekends: 'Horns vs. Nebraska; Lone Star Rally; 'Horns vs. t tech.
OK for the details:
Meet at the following location and time:
Exxon "On the Run" station / conv. store
4429 Broadway
Galveston, Texas
Meet @ 9 am, KSU @ 9:30
This station is located on the corner of Broadway (45) and 44th Street. From Seawall, turn onto 45th Street and proceed until you reach Broadway. Turn right, and the station is on your right. Large enough to accomodate a crowd and everyone can get fueled (bikes and selves).

What time do I need to plan to meet you for lunch at Yankee's?
-
I would not plan on getting there any earier than 11:300 Jerry.

NOTICE::: TIME CHANGE
To allow for pit stop in Kemah and 1 rest stop, we will meet at the Exxon @8:30, with KSU 9 am.
Jerry, this should put us in Carlos by 12:45, possibly a few minutes earlier depending on the pace we can maintain. If it were just RD, SmoothX, & I, you could expect us there by 11:30! ;D
-
When you go through Kemeh be sure to look up to the left(a little NW of Kemah) as they are having the Ballunar Festival but avoid Nasa rd as it will be packed.

Duane, I'll be in the area scouting for DS roads. I'll keep checking in on Yankee's from time to time to catch you guys. In any event if we don't connect at Yankee's, I'll see y'all or at least some of y'all Saturday night.
I plotted a course with MS Streets & Trips straight up 45 to 6 & up: 142 miles and 2hrs and 40 minutes. If you deviate from this route to a more fun route as has been suggested and encounter traffic it will be a push to make in 3 or 3 1/2 hours.
Please be careful.

ya'll are going to be boring Saturday night. Especially RD old azz :P
see ya at the Gravity Bar next to the Hooter painting chair O0 O0

You might consider a deviation: Rather than taking 149 all the way into Montgomery, take FM 1097 east off of 149. It will deadend into 75; turn right (south) and go to Loop 336 on the north side of Conroe. Take a left on 336 and follow it to SH105; take a left on 105 and a right at the first light (FM1485). That's the best part of 1485. After you cross FM2090 (at the light and Caney Creek High School) the next light is the intersection of Old Houston Rd./ FM 3083/ FM 1485. Turn left at the light to stay on 1485, and follow it out until it turns into FM2100. After you go under 59, 1485 will deadend into Loop 494 (old 59). Take a right and the first left (at the light), and you will be back on 1485. That will be a nicer ride with less traffic.
