Car/Bike Drive/Ride - Nov 6th - 9:00am Sonic departure

[Telomere]

I was curious how the structure of this would work. I might be in depending on what is going on around here at the time.

[El Diabro]

The last one was a blast! I have a couple of people who are interested on the cage side.

[DemonDuck]

I am going to make a great effort to go to this...... Maybe?

[nslegacy]

sounds fun. i'll take my genesis coupe if my bike isn't fixed in time.

[El Diabro]

As of right now, have a friend bringing another Vette

[milesmiles]

anyone talk to GRex and see if he is bringing out the TRex?

[milesmiles]

Are things still looking good for this?

[DarcShadow]

Yep, car is still running strong.

[dufremle]

Don't forget, this is next weekend.

[El Diabro]

can't wait

[dufremle]

Matt, do you have a meetup place and time in mind yet?

[DarcShadow]

ah hell, I should probably work out a route, huh?

Any request for lunch stop?

Probably a 10:30 or so departure, most likely from Sonic.

[dufremle]

I've never been to Natty Flat's, but I wanted to try it sometime. Looks like they are open from 11:30 to 5 on Sundays.

[DarcShadow]

Is it a new place? Google maps has an address for it but if you go to street view there is nothing there.

[dufremle]

I think it's been there for a while. I've never been there so I don't know if the food is any good or not.

ok, if somebody can find it on google street view we'll check it out.

interesting side not, the yelp page has a small bing map, but when you click on it for a larger version it gives you a google map.

They have dang good bbq...pink n i ate there when we got the pic of the chair for the game. Its just north of the 4 & 281 interchange by about half a mile if i remember right.

AAAA...it is unfair...you still ride in November???nooo...
I wanna go i wanna go, gooo.
im so jealous!!!grrr.enjoy your ride while im getting drunk somewhere in the cold and try to avoid freezing till my bones:)

[DarcShadow]

Ok, got a route planned. I'm going to move the departure time up to 10:00am from Sonic. It'll put us at Natty Flat around Noon. After lunch we'll continue on with a stop in Hico for pie.

Google says the total time will be about 7 hours but google always estimates longer then actual. My GPS program is usually pretty close I'll put the route into it when I get him. My guess it'll be closer to 5 hours so with lunch and pie we should be back to Fort Worth around 5:00-6:00.

The main part of the ride will be after lunch, so if anyone can't make it by 10 and want to meet up at Natty Flat that'll work. I expect we'll leave Natty Flat by 1:00, maybe 12:45.

[dufremle]

Cool.

PIE!

[fixxervi6]

I've seen "hico" and "pie" used together in other places as well, what am I missing?

[milesmiles]

woohooo PIE!

[milesmiles]

so as far as bikes are going who all is in, it would suck if i was the only bike

[fixxervi6]

If I can go I'll be there
