Monthly Moderate - Sunday Oct 20 1pm @ Sonic

Post by Rhino » Wed Oct 02, 2013 6:44 am

Time again for the monthly moderate ride. With it being a really busy month with FWMR turning 10, this is going to be on a Sunday afternoon. We'll go KSU at 1pm so church-going folks have a chance to make it out, and everybody has a chance to recover from their Saturday night. We'll go hit some twisties down FM-51 and be back in time for dinner.

Since this is a moderate, 2-up is welcome and leathers aren't required.

Meeting location is at Sonic on Clifford St in White Settlement, leaving at 1pm.

Anything below 90 is too slow -100 is just right -anything above 105 is icing on the cake!

I'd love to hook up on this also. I'm about 70 miles from you, and won't be out of church until noon-ish, so I'd like to maybe join in at Lipan, Cresson, Granbury, Glen Rose or wherever you might happen to route through that's a little closer. Let me know my options based on your planned route if you don't mind. If I can work it out where I can leave earlier, I will. I'm kind of the heart of the TV broadcast lighting/audio, so replacements are tough to find. Thanks, Terry

Granbury is a good meet-up spot, we'll be taking 51 south from there. Or if you would miss that, catch us in Paluxy.

Hey.

I intro'd myself in the introductions sub and was wanting to join you guys on this ride, but I had a couple questions.
First, are non-members able to join on this ride?
And second, what are requirements as far as gear?

contact the ride leader directly and see how they feel about it, or go buy some real quick (even cheap walmart combat style boots are better than sneakers)

Consider them an investment, I had a small crash with what would be considered good boots with descent ankle protection and my ankle has been bothering me ever since.

If you crash good in a shoe that doesn't cover your ankle you might as well go barefoot, your feet well get destroyed.

Not meaning to preach, just trying to point out there is very good reason for over the ankle foot protection :))

I don't mind. Just understand that you're always riding at your own risk.

Well, hell. I guess I was sitting in the wrong place around the Granbury square. For someone dumbass reason it didn't occur to me you'd be coming down 4, I assumed 377. This is bordering in a bad habit for me. Should have camped out at Shell on 144.

Rode 51, 203, to Cranfils back up 219. Eating my Hard 8 ribeye now. Sorry I missed riding with and meeting some of you. Terry
