 Been to them all. I am sure there others will want
to do the tour also.

My first time so I am definitely going to hit the tourist spots.   If the group doens't want to I don't have any problem with that.  I'll have the route in my GPS anyway. 

And if it says "Too Fast" instead of blinking a speed at you, you'd better kick it down or you'll drag pegs through the curve. Don't ask me how I know this.

I learned the hard way to respect those switchbacks, dragging a peg would have been a good thing.  Dragging a footboard, footboard bracket and highway bar until you realize your bike don't have the ability to make a switchback is a really bad feeling.  Needless to say, I know my bikes limitations now.  At least I was trying....LOL.  I still scrape the boards from time to time but that is about it.

No they don't for a good reason!   There's two kind of bikes and two kind of riders.        The Real bikes and the REAL riders have pegs!!

I am considering one of my notorious long rides for BBT. I am thinking of riding to visit the Caverns of Sonora. This will be an all day event. Approx 300 miles. Route to take 337 to Camp woods . Then 55 thru Rock Springs to 277 into Sonora. Visit the cave then return via I 10 to Kerrville. This would be done on Friday. Any spelunkers out there?  I will ride the Sisters on Saturday morning.

We going to Mexico while we are at it??   
I am game.

Probably won't do the 300 miler on Friday after the Libster has been on the bike coming down on Friday.  Can't wear her out too early.  Will do the Sisters on Friday and kick it back and enjoy Bandera and a cold Shiner.

http://www.cavernsofsonora.com/ This is where I'm going on Friday. I would put up one of those fancy computer maps you guys do but don't know how, besides I got a map from Texas tourist department!

Is that going to be even near our riding route?

[xcaliber]

which route? Don't understand the question. This is how it works. People that have been before post a ride. You then choose who you want to ride with or venture out on your own. I am leaving Houston/Cypress with Chinstrap thursday morning. I will be going down 290 cut over to the Devils Backbone. Thinking about stopping by Albert, Luckenbach and anything interesting we find along the way, getting into Bandera when we get there. Friday I intend to ride as posted above. Saturday morning, I will ride the Twisted sisters and take in the Vanderpool motorcycle museum , returning to Bandera via Garner State Park and Utopia. I am not a tour guide and don't plan everything little thing but you are more than welcome to come along. As someone told me last year, "you went for a ride and we followed you."
