Week nights are a bit tough for me. I'm not normally leaving work until 6 pm or so. But I am available most weekends. Wouldn't mind a morning ride with a stop for lunch along the way.

I will look that the link i posted earlier and if you can think of any more or if you want to do a highway ride, then let me know.

I would love to go for a ride tonight, but my wife and I have dinner plans tonight. But I am wide open for tomorrow. I would be up for just about any route. I've been wanting to try a drive up to Muenster for some lunch. Could be a fun loop.

And don't worry about being a beginner. I have no problem driving at a nice leisurely pace.

I'm in McKinney by the way.

I was playing around with Google Maps and came up with this for a route to Muenster. I've never traveled these roads, but I've heard they are popular for motorcycles. I have it starting in McKinney, but we could adjust based on who wants to go.

http://www.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF...e446cfbded675e

If someone has a different route to try, I'd be up for that as well.

I'll have my blackberry with me so I can respond.

that rout is fine with me, just tell me when and where you want to meet up, i will be there.

As for tonight randomwalk, do you have any idea where you want to ride, DFW airport is a lil far away from me for a night trip, but if you have any other ideas i am up for it.

There is a Starbucks in the shopping plaza located at 75 and 380. This might be a good place to meet. There is also a Best Buy, a Home Depot, and a Hooters in that plaza. Probably a good place to start from. As for times, you tell me what works for you. I can be there at 8, or 9. We can start later if you want, but I'm not sure how long the entire route will take.

randomwalk101, if you see this and you're still interested in going, MKlein3004 and I can meet you somewhere around 35 and 380. Just let us know what works for you.

By the way, I have a red Ninja 250 and the name is Scott.

If you need a reply to anything, send me an email at scott@nilescafe.com and I will get back to you ASAP. I will not be online until much later tonight.

Anyway, hope we can work out some kind of ride tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that you have to work tomorrow. If you ever get back up in this area, give me a shout and we'll go for a ride.

MKlein3004, I'm still up for a ride if you are. Or if anyone else wants to meet up in the morning...

yeah my sister came in from athens also and we loaded a bed up for her and her husband along with setting up my parents new bed so i had things come up that kept me from riding today.

I would say i guess we can do 9 and meet at the starbucks or hooters, i know where each of them are

I have a blue 250r and the name is Mitchell, I will most likely be in jeans and a black jacket with a blue/black helmet. I will meet you at 9 i guess and we can head out from there, what place are we eating at and about how much is it, so i know what to bring. I pmed you my number and you can text me and it would be alot easier and faster than the forum.

randomwalk, we can do this anytime in the evening during the week, i am currently unemployed and waiting for calls from possible employers so time is no big thing for me.

hell i dont know now, i just got off a 5 hour ride with scott and my ass and legs are vibrated out. I will see how i feel in a lil bit might be up for it

all in all a good ride this morning and some pretty good views of hills and land. there was one that i liked alot as you came over a hill all you see is like 30-40 windmills in the distance, as we get closer we go through the middle of them. was pretty cool

Also the little biker bar we stopped at as good, nice atmosphere.

Might have to do it again before i leave for either of my two job opportunities, if they arise.

Good ride today. I really enjoyed it. Those views were pretty cool. I liked the part after St. Jo where we were coming down that big hill, and you could see way into the valley. Although those windmills were pretty cool too! When you first see them you think they are just over the next hill, but in reality, they're still pretty far away. When you get close to them you realize just how big they are!

Lot of bikers out today too!

There was also a funny sign, that if we go again, i want to take a picture with, the street name was, "seldon seen road". thought it would be a good pic for the weird ninjette pics

Sounds like a great idea. I have been wanting to get together with some folks from the DFW area. Lets throw out some dates and well get everyone to see what there scheduales are and what will work best. I work every other weekend. To give people time to respond and plan. Lets shoot for the middle of April? Whatcha think?
