Met at the Waffle House in Denton for breakfast and rode through Krum, Era, Froest burg, St. Jo, and Meunster.
Anyone else connect Saturday?

That's a heck of a jump, be safe!
You can still ride with us (or we with you) regardless of what bike you ride. Nothing that says one can only ride with other like bikes. Here's my ride report from Labor Day: It's fairly short. I rode down to Venus Monday morning for a malt at the Whataburger on the corner of 67 and 157. My plan was to putt around the county roads down that way, probably over to Waxahatchie and back by way of Maypearl. While I was siting there enjoying my malt I made the random decision to ride to Stephenville for a nice BBQ lunch at the Hard Eight. And so I went. I took 67 down to Glen Rose, then caught 205 (a sparsely-populated winding county road) over to Stephenville, passing by Dinosaur Valley State Park. Once there hilarity ensued because the GPS insisted that the Hard Eight was north of the highway on Glen Rose Road. After cruising through that residential neighborhood a couple of times I called up the Hard Eight for directions. The person I talked to had no sense whatsoever of compass directions. She kept telling me to turn at the Alsups (whatever that was) and I'd see them. I reasoned that since they weren't north of the highway they had to be south, so I crossed over and eventually found them about a mile down. Just in time, too, as there was a Corvette club there and right behind me another 20 or so riders showed up. I had a nice lunch (the jalapeno sausage is almost worth dying for) then headed back out. On the way down I noticed my clutch started feeling odd. The friction zone was not only moving, but changing in width. I reasoned that the clutch cable was going south and spent mot of the return trip doing clutchless shifting, reserving the clutch for red lights and stop signs. After getting home (A nice 180 mile round trip in the most perfect weather possible) I pulled the cable. There were perhaps 4 or 5 strands left intact. It's likely it would have broken in just a few more pulls. Fifteen minutes to button everything back together with a new cable and I'm good to go. Alas, I didn't take my camera since it wasn't a planned ride. The 1mp cellphone camera is not worth taking pictures with. The end.

That's an old pic, Reunion Arena is long gone.
Say, anyone up to some good catfish this Saturday? I'm unexpectedly free and I'm going to ride down to Irby's Burgers & Catfish in Granbury for lunch. I've got a 63 mile route mapped out taking 360 from Arlington down through Mansfield and catching FM 917 over through Godley and Acton and some other back county roads. Weather looks promising, only a 20% chance of afternoon rain. I'm planning on arriving around 11:30-ish and leaving about an hour later. |

Had a nice ride. Got "misplaced" a couple of times because of mismarked roads, but no big deal since all roads lead to Irby's. It was a nice ride, relaxing for the most part. Took about an hour and 40 to go about 65 miles, saw some pretty scenery and interesting houses (the Barnett Shale's been good to a lot of folks out this way) and not a few horses. No longhorns, though.
The catfish was awesome! A little story is due here. Way back when I was a mere child I tried catfish for the first time. It was an awful experience. Full of bones and gooey, it was a soggy cold mess of bits by the time I got the bones out and ate the remains. Fast forward 30 years and a friend of mine took me to Irby's after doing some framing work at his house. I was hesitant for sure, but he talked me into trying my first catfish in three decades. It was transcendental. Since then I've made a point of getting back there a couple times a year, spring and fall. |

Glad you had a good ride! I rode out to Possum Kingdom Lake with some friends. It was a great day. Almost 350 miles round trip. Here are some pics:
This was on top of what is called "Hell's Gate". I have a fear of heights so I was a little nervous. Here we are crossing the Brazos below PK dam. We stopped at a little place called Mary's Cafe for lunch. The meat on their burgers is literally about 2 inches thick. This was at an observation point above the dam. There is some beautiful scenery out in that area. I would definitely go back. |

Rats, no internet access on the weekends so I just saw this.
This weekend I'm free except for Saturday late afternoon through evening. I'd be interested in an AM ride either day. We could meet somewhere for either breakfast or lunch. Short ride, long ride, or just all meet somewhere for some good conversation. |

Too bad. It was fun. Ran down FM 697 a couple of times. Decent food. A full report with pictures should be up on my website by this evening.

I'm fine with a short ride, a long ride, a medium ride. A ride to breakfast, lunch, or dinner (though the rain is 20%) would be fine. I ride in the rain no problem. There are places like Dinosaur Valley State Park that we could ride to, or we could ride to a small town like Hillsboro and eat lunch at this fantastic little Italian place on the square. Basically I can ride anywhere, anytime. My two 824 mile one day rides two weeks ago made me feel ready for anything.
If the decision where and what is arrived at after 5 today I'd appreciate a call since I don't have internet access outside of work. I'll post my number later today if need be. |

I'm fine with any length of ride as well. Based on the forecast as of today, it looks like if we ride west we will probably be ok on the rain. TXNinjaGirl, I'll let you make the call. I live in the Denton area so I'm fine meeting up wherever.
Here is a link to some ideas for routes. I have done some of these with the group I ride with but not all of them: http://www.chromeangels.org/routes.htm Last futzed with by PitBull; October 22nd, 2010 at 06:23 AM. Reason: Forgot to add a link |

Nah, didn't happen. I'm thinking best thing is to meet someplace for a nice lunch and get to know each other session. Then we can plan a ride someplace, preferably without a lot of technical stuff.
I hear you about faster riders. The one group ride I went on last spring was with way faster riders on liter bikes, I just let them leave me in the dust. Wasn't particularly interesting to ride with them, never did again. |
