GIG EM I did that exact route starting from Hot Rod & Hogs in Arlington, and from there to my home (which is in Mansfield), total mileage was 220 miles... We took our time and it took us 5 hours, and with plenty of stops along the way including a stop for a chicken fried steak plate lunch....Silver-T
So still meeting at Dukes in bedford at 8:30am??
what do you guys think the projected time thru granbury will be? I will try to meet up with yall and do the last half.
Forecast high for Sunday is only 93 in Weatherford... Real Texans will need to bring a light jacket.Non-Texans, start drinking water the night before, get good and hydrated.If you've got a stock seat, drink cheap whiskey the night before, so your head will hurt and you won't notice the pain in your Cranberries so much... I think that covers most of the excuses you :'(girls have come up with so far
I up for the full route, Dan. With it being in the lower 90's we should be fine and it sounds like a great route. I've done group rides a long time and any one I have ever been on, folks are always welcome to cut out at any point if they want or need to. Let's go the distance.
