I just looked at the weather and it's going to be in the low 40's in the morning.

Are we sure we want to do this??

Just kidding about do we want to do this. :)

Jerry, I think RD is offering you a heck of a deal.  Get him to include a pie to go; I think you still have some bargaining room.

Thank you very much, Jerry! I'll be at the BBQ shop, SE corner of 183 and 29, NLT 10:45 10:15. (on second reading of your verbiage, I see you think it will take you less time)

Jeremy/Jen? Rick? Anyone else?

Good morning!  I turned in a little after 9 last night.  I have been trying to catch up on sleep all this week.  I think I'm finally getting there.  I don't think I got 10 hours total of good sleep in the 5 days on the ARK run.  Also, trying to shake a cold I picked up some where along the way.

Looks like yesterday's weather prediction was wrong - in our favor.  It is only 48 degrees out on the back porch.  Won't need the heated vest after all. :)

SEYA

Jerry

ps...Jeff I'm not sure we will be 30 minutes ahead of schedule. The 10 miles run on the Cow Creek Rd is mostly 20 mph as I recall. O0

Let's meet at that BBQ place, SE corner of 183 and 29, anywhere between 10:15 and 10:45, as per Jerry's post.

For those interested in BBQ, instead of pie, Louie Mueller's in Taylor is 8.45 miles East on 79.  I've never been there, but heard it's great! O0

I'm home safe and happy after a great ride.  Many thanks to Jerry for plotting a great route.  My King Ranch Chicken and lemon pie in Hutto was outstanding as was the fellowship.  Let's do it again real soon.  Dan

Dan, you made good time.  Hope the baby girel is good and glad to see you.

I am home safe as well.  Thanks guys for making this such a special day for me.  It means a lot to me to get to ride with y'all.

We rolled into Hutto as a group of 7 VTXer's.  Three guys went to Taylor to scout out their BBQ.  Guys, how was the BBQ?   The other four of us had lunch and pie with another VTXer from New Braunfels.  While we were there we visited with a couple more VTXer's from the Belton/Temple area who rode up for pie.  So we are talking about 10 VTXer's getting together today for good times.

I had one of the best cheeseburgers ever, indescribably delicious french fried sweet potatoes (my 1st time ever), and yummy strawberry cheesecake pie.

Wish more of you guys and gals could have made it out here today.  It was fun.  Maybe next time.

Great ride today Guy's!! 345 miles total, and my butt still feels good. At least that's what Suzanne said. :o Mueller's was good, and the prices great. 1/2 lb. lean brisket for $5 and a 6" link for $2.
Would've like to have had some of the pie, but no breakfast and I needed the protien. Cow Creek was a little rough. Looks like the county has been working on the low water crossings. If you plan on going out that way, take your time and prepare yourself for some gravel.

Thanks Jerry. Good to see Dan, Tommy, Wade, & Lex. You guys are too busy! Always fun to ride with Jeremy and "Francis". ;D Thanks for stopping by BigA. Sorry I missed your twin.

Yep, just climbed out of the spa..., which means this old man will be sawing logs in about 3 minutes!  :o

The BBQ at Mueller's was okay, wouldn't take it over Cooper's, but the company made it worthwhile. Great seeing all you guys again today, even RD, who attempted a little Feejer tipping, to go with his consumate cow tipping skills!  ;D Thank goodness we were both okay. See all of you again soon!  O0

Great ride today.  Missed the meet up at 306 and 281 because of a WIDE LOAD poking its way down 306 from New Braunfels.  Looked like it was a base for a windmill generator.  This thing was at least 70 feet long and 14 feet in diameter.  No way could I get around it, so I ended up being about 10 minutes late at the meeting up point. There was still the faint smell of burned rubber in the air when I got there.  Ended up doing my own solo RAT (ride around Texas)  but I knew that there would be good pie and good folks at 11:00 AM in Hutto.  What a beautiful morning it was for ride.  My honey do list was gianormous so I had to split right after lunch.  Tom and I took I-35 South together till he split off at the 183 to head west.  I continued straight down I-35 to New Braunfels.
