I was considering leading one, but it will depend on the weather. Not looking too good right now.

Sunday might not be bad for a late start. Hard to say this far out.

Looks like TXSR DFW has one posted as tentative - I know Mike has been doing more rides further north east so not all of them have been getting cross posted lately.

I have to work Sunday so I'm out for the weekend

However having said that I'll echo what Tooner said time / place / type of ride and go, if anyone has questions on roads PM people and ask - your a clubmember if you want to ride, go and take people with you :)

I am pretty flexible, can ride slow or fast depends on traffic:)
So it can be moderate or intermediate.
I personally prefer 10 am start time or even 11 am haha but 9 or 8 am is ok too...
Like the west side they have twisties but again I am flexible with the route just dont like gravel, too many construction areas:)
yeah weather looks kinda rainy...hm so i guess it depends on weather.
Stop chasing shadows just enjoy the ride.

I am flexible also. For me almost any ride is better than no ride. My perfect ride would start at sun up, ride mostly above posted limits to some good twist roads. Then turn around and hit those twisters a few times then head on to lunch. After about 3-4 hours I can go further but my butt and back start to complain. That Bridge run that Rick lead last fall was a great ride.

Just a warning, hitting the same set of turns repeatedly can greatly increase the chance of police presence.

For any club member that has GPS or way to read GPS files let me know and I can share my route files if there is a specific one your interested in. I'd like to keep the data restricted to club members only so just keep that in mind.
