Moderate Ride - Sunday, May 7 - 9:00 AM
FWMR Club Ride
Meetup: Sonic on Clifford St. in White Settlement
Kick stands up: 9:00am
Get there early if you want food and/or coffee.
Ride Leader: dufremle
This will be a Moderate pace ride. Moderates are great for riders who want a slightly faster pace than beginners but still slow enough to be relaxed and comfortable on any sized bike, with a passenger, or learning to ride with the group. The pace for a moderate ride is at or near posted speed limits. On a Moderate ride the ride leader tries to keep a closer eye on the group and adjust the speeds appropriately.
Please be dressed appropriately: helmet, jacket, gloves, over the ankle shoes and long pants.
Looks like we will finally have some nice riding weather. I do not have a route yet.

I might be able to show up for this ride. It's been a long time since I rode with you guys... but my bike just got a restoration in and out so it's back up and running nicely so it's time to get back out on it on the weekends

Not an issue. You don't drink coffee from Sonic.
And fixed.

9am??? Really? I like to sleep in on the weekends since I get up early during the week. Why so damn early? You have a date or something?

You can sleep in until 8:30 and still make the ride. You don't need to sleep until noon.

Hell, 9 is a late start for our average ride.

I haven't decided on a route yet, so I don't know yet.

Thinking of heading towards Hard 8 in Stephenville for lunch. Would like to get there by 11 to beat the crowds. That would probably get us back into town by 2 PM. Will depend on the route, though.

Not sure if y'all know this or not. But 35 will be shut down again this weekend for about 3 miles if we end up going anywhere near it on the route. If not then it's just a warning to anyone who has to get on 35 to get to the sonic or whatever

Ya, that whole area around 35W and Western Center is going to be a mess. I need to work on my route.

That's where I live at so I'm very familiar with the stupidity that comes with their decisions on when to close the highway down
