Title: Downtown Austin this Past Friday Night
Post by: jcicolani on January 08, 2011, 12:14:19 PM
I was on my way to a software release party downtown Austin last night (yes, I'm database programming, web developing geek on a bike ;D ). I pulled up to park at the corner of Nueces & 6th Street and there's a bike there. So, I back in next to it (parking is always easier with a bike). I can't help but admire the nice look of the bike, its sleek lines and retro style. So I take a closer look, and lo, it's 1300 Retro S... just like mine... but silver/gray rather than purple.

So, if you know who it was that parked at Nueces & 6th last night... Tell then I said "Nice bike."

So, what I'm reading, from all this sarcasm, is we Centex folk gotta step up the game... or am I the only one. In which case, 100% turn out!

Nope, you're out in the middle of nowhere which is good for everyone else! We did have that mini m&g last week. I allowed you to come too which made it a total of 3! Biggest M&G Dallas area has had in years from what I understand :thumbup:

Hey JC, we'll have to meet up in San Marcos or something and show them there are more Centex people out there. I figure since I have put 4500 miles on my bike since buying it in October, I would say we Centex people get out and ride more than y'all think.

I second that!

I'm not entirely sure how many miles I've put on the bike since November, but since it's my primary commuter at 50+ miles per day, plus the rides just to ride (like my trip out through Wimberley we missed each other on), I assume it's a decent chunk.

We should put together a M&G soon. San Marcos sounds good, though I don't know it well enough to suggest where. Looks like it's going to warm up a little next week. If the weather holds 'til next weekend, I think that would be a good idea.

Hmmm, unfortunately I am running Pinewood Derby's for my Cub Scout Pack and several other Pack's the next few Saturdays.  Right now I have Saturday February 5th open on the schedule, lol.  Now if you want to meet up on a Sunday afternoon that I could do.

I don't know San Marcos all that well myself but I am familiar with this place; http://www.grinsrestaurant.com/ (http://www.grinsrestaurant.com/).

What's really wierd is the TexasXriders was started in Dallas and in 03/04 was the center of the activity. I think?  :idontknow:

How about a Sunday to Luling? There's, supposedly, some good BBQ there. Now, not THIS Sunday, due to weather. But it should be clearing and warming up in the next few weeks.

Sounds good, can meet up at around 1pm. Probably have a buddy with me (even though he rides a Suzuki)   :ohwow: :lunch: :thumbup:

After lunch, maybe take a ride out to Gonzalez and then Shiner.

Let's just keep a weather eye out and nominally plan for the 23 or 30th.
