Title: Early ride to rally
Post by: skipppy75 on December 10, 2008, 12:45:17 AM: Well I have been invited to the rally by a bud and the thing is we are leaving early in the morning 7:30 AM
Willowbrook area

We’ll meet at the Shell station on Perry and 1960 at 7:30am. We’ll have people waiting on us along hwy 6 so we have to leave at 7:45 SHARP. Return around 3:00pm if you want to group ride

There is a group going on the hwy 6 route.
Multiple kind of bikes, I have gone this way for 2 years now and it was a nice ride

Let me know if interested. I should be there around 7:30 you can't miss my bike...

Where do you plan on stopping on hwy 6, or do you plan on stopping on hwy 6 just south of I-10. My group is leaving the the i-10 & barker cypress intersection @ 8:00 a.m. sharp towards hwy 6.

Post by: skipppy75 on December 10, 2008, 06:35:56 PM: I am not coordinating the ride, just riding along
we have stopped at various places along highway 6 last couple of years
If you guys want to drop in tell me where and @ what time and I will pass the info to my friend who knows the guy
leading the pack.
If you say you will be there around 8 AM @ I-10 and highway 6 I think we may be getting there about the same time?
Let me know and I will pass the info on

Still have the X and it is still orange!!

Post by: MRVTX on December 14, 2008, 09:53:59 AM: I got home around 5:30 without running into any rain. The wind kicked my butt yesterday, though. I fell asleep on the couch around 7 and then got in bed around 9. Woke up at 8:30 this morning...I was tired. :)

Larry, sorry again about your mom. I'm praying for your family.
