The Details are as follows:
Statewide Meet & Greet
July 23, 2016
All groups are to meet in Cedar Park, TX in the Wal-Mart parking lot @ 8 a.m.
Wal-Mart Cedar Park
201 Walton Way
Cedar Park, TX 78613
We are going to ride FM 1431 from Cedar Park to Marble Falls and have breakfast at the Bluebonnet Café (211 US-281 Marble Falls, TX 78654). The estimated time is about 35-45 minutes and a distance of about 38 miles. It's a short ride but a fun one. This road does require some skill level so if you don't feel confident please take your time and ride at your own pace. No one will be left behind.......BUT......if you are left behind (don't get your panties in a bunch) no turn will be made until the whole group is together to avoid anyone getting lost. With that said, prepare yourself and get on Google maps and familiarize yourself with the area.
Rides after breakfast are on your own. Please make your own ride plans if you wish to visit other places or continue riding the area.

It's on my calendar.

Roughly from Buc-ee's to Cedar Park is about 2 1/2 hrs. We are most likely going to make a couple of stops (or one) so ideally KSU (kick stands up) need to be around 4:15 a.m.
It is early, so........I don't care what time you want to be @ Buc-ee's but be ready to leave at 4:15 a.m.. I'm including myself in this one. Even if I don't make it you guys need to leave at 4:15 a.m. to make good time. I will catch up. I don't think I'll run late but just in case.
If indeed someone doesn't make the 4:15 take off we will for sure stop @ the Buc-ee's in Giddings TX right off of Hwy 290. That is about an hour ride.
Any stop between Giddings and Cedar Park will be random so if you don't make the 2nd meet-up then we will see you at Wal-Mart at Cedar Park or in Marble Falls. :stickpoke: ;D
Meet Time:
Buc-ee's
40900 US Hwy 290
Waller, TX 77484
KSU: 4:15 a.m.

I might be able to make this, keeping fingers crossed.

OK Steve, it is about an hours ride from Copperas Cove to Cedar Park so I would suggest we meet up at our new HEB parking lot around 6:30-6:45. I don't know how long it would take you to get here but I would guess about 2 hrs or so. Does that sound doable??
-
I invited a friend Jeff, Gumbo has ridden with him before. He's a good group rider.

I invited Jeroen as well. I haven't heard back, he just shows up when he wants to ride.

Ruthy either but she has done it once already and I convinced her that it will be nice and cool and there is nothing better than watching the sun come up in the morning while riding.

You're gonna have to leave somewhere close to that time in order to get to Cedar Park by 8.
-
Google Maps shows 3 hrs 21 min from Trophy Club to Cedar Park. Which means you would need to leave somewhere around 4-4:30 to give yourself time for traffic, getting gas, etc.
-
If you are coming down IH35, you would just hang a right onto US Hwy 190 in Belton and come west for about 30 minutes. We would then travel to Cedar Park via FM 2657 to State Hwy 183. 2657 is a fun road to ride also. Check it out!!
-
I try to stay off 35 if at all possible...we will see...

That's all I can ask. If not, we can meet up in Cedar Park.
I may have 2 or 3 coming with me also! I wonder if we need to see if they can reserve a section for us? I'll give them a call because, so far, it looks like we could have 10-15 people.
-
I just gave them a call and they do not take reservations on the weekends. I was told to call the day before and let them know how many people would be coming and about what time we would get there and that way they could be prepared for us.

Go half way the day before and spend the night somewhere. I'd offer my place but it ain't half way... it's out of your way.

Woodlands HD has an MVP ride on Saturday and they are meeting at the Thirsty Parrot in Monaville so I am planning on hitting that on the way back.
The route is 71 all the way to Ellinger then a few back roads (2503, 1291, 109, 1094, etc) to Monaville. I don't plan on staying long but might have a cool adult beverage before the last 40 miles or so.
-
I think I'll join up to that point but keep on going as we discussed already. Looks like the route I was taking back anyways.

Sweet. I have a couple of other guys for sure following me back to the Parrot.

It was nice and cool this morning around 6 a.m. so I imagine it will be even cooler at 4 a.m.. I remember it was pretty fresh the last time we did this.
