I am doing another ride on September 16th to Nederland Texas.  The ride is about 300 miles depending on where you are riding from and will be mostly on Texas back roads.  The Museum is tiny but there are other things to walk around and see at this location. 

Lunch will be at Willy Burger and if you haven't heard of Willy Burger you willy need to try it, it's willy willy good. 

Meeting: Shell in Conroe @ Loop 336E and Hwy 105 (Next to Sonic and McDonalds)
KSU: 9AM

Plan on a 8-10 hour day. 

More details on my FB Ride Group Page.

Just a few more blocks down 347 is the Janice Joplin Museum. Or is that another ride on the bucket list?

Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

I'll make that another one.  It hasn't been on the TV show yet.  I'll want to go to Mini Graceland in Los Fresnos and will add the Janice Joplin museum to the list.

Go look in your invites on Facebook.  I double checked and you are on the list.

Just a reminder, this ride is in September and not August.

This would be a crappy ride for me.  Straight I-10.

Still about 6 weeks out.  I am hoping we have a nice moderate summer (so far so good) and that September is unusually cool.  It would be awesome to ride this in about 60-70 degree weather.

I may still join you up north but just cut thru right on I-10 back home.   I'm ready to put some serious miles on this Road King

You can download a GPS file, there should be the option from the link, just use the export button and you get several options. There is no app for this but any GPS app that is not Google Maps driven should have the ability to import a GPX file.  I have gone through this route (and will again) on my GPS to make sure that there were no unintended turns or diversions from the intended route.  I do not like unexpected stops due to the GPS not going where I wanted it to go but that does happen.  Previewing every step of the route in the GPS helps avoid that problem.

I just found a GPX viewer in the app store.  I'm going to download it and see how it works.

I have a RAM X-Mount and a $100 Garmin.

I have a TomTom but I'm not sure I can download GPX files to it.  It only cost like $75
