I will be leaving from the Chevron/McDonald's at Clay Road and Beltway 8 at about 8:30.David,I'm going to change up the route a little, so I'll post the new route later tonight. And just make sure you're there by 9am.
Unfortunately, I have to back out of the ride today. I've lost my front brake, and I'm pretty sure it's the master cylinder piston that is shot. I've been needing to bleed my brakes for awhile now, and since I have the speed bleeders, it literally takes me about 20 minutes total for both master cylinders. Well, the back went fine, but when I went to do the front, I lost all pressure to the caliper. I emptied the brake line & tore down the caliper and cleaned it really well. I tried my old stock brake line, my old banjo bolts and even my old bleeder valves. Nothing...zilch...nada...it has to be the master cylinder piston.I'm tired and heading off to bed. I hope that David can lead the way since I e-mailed him the route for his GPS. If you want to take the straight shot, just take 45 to 19 to Loop 304 in Crockett. Sorry that this happened...I was absolutely looking so forward to this ride...I guess that's what I get for trying to maintenance the night before.I think I'm gonna torch my bike in the backyard tomorrow...who cares about a burn ban.
