A north Texas Hill country ride will be run today. Be at Starbucks at I-20 and 377 (Benbrook hwy S.W. Fort Worth) at 9:00am for a 4 hour ride to Glen Rose and back on some freakin awesome twisties and sweeeeepers. If you've done this ride before you know what I mean. If not you don't know what your missing. Close as it gets to THC. Nothing fast just good riding. I have a Google map of the route I hope...

one of these days...
It looks like a great route. Maybe I'll be able to catch the next one. [thumbsup]
cdc and Red are a lot of fun to ride with and stop for coffee and Duc talk. This was so cool, we all took turns on each other's ride and I learned a lot from that and from cdc's explanations.
Red seemed to really improve on the big monster (cdc) on some great twisties [thumbsup]
I got more comfortable on those as well. Great ride guys! [moto]
I had a great time guys and to top it all off, I had a very pleasant conversation with a State trooper who lit his lights up as I rounded a corner.
He wanted to know if I knew what the speed limit was in the area, which I didn't. He then asked for my license and insurance card (which was expired as of 12-05-08). I assured him that the insurance was paid up and that I did not think I was speeding but had not been mindful of the speedometer. No, sir!
He told me that I was doing 11 MPH over the 45 MPH speed limit to which I asked him:
"Are you giving me a ticket for 11 MPH over?"
He responded, "No, I am giving you a warning. Do you have a problem with that?
And I said, "No sir, I won't argue with you! You go right ahead. And please have a nice rest of the day. Thank you Mr. Officer sir!"
Red stopped a short distance away and was sweating bullets! He had his own "crime". ;D

Best I can do Chief!

I like how your humor slips in under the radar. [laugh]
Guess your 11mph over does not. [cheeky]
Thanks for the fuel and the info.

. thanks loads to CDC for leading and not getting lost again.
I tried Red. God knows I tried!
cdc
Too funny you guys. I'll get mc back on my license in a couple weeks!
Again, that day will go down in history as one of the most fun for me. I need an S2R now! .....Santa?
Wish I could have made this ride. Sounded really fun. Last time was a blast, and Charles is an excellent leader. (Even if it's the wrong direction [cheeky] )
cdc is never late, we are all just early. Also, there is no such thing as a wrong turn, we call that a left turn.
I stand by my statements. ;D
Last time i rode with ***, we could have ended up in another state, I really didn't care. It was just fun following him [bacon]
The first time I rode with this group, we DID end up in another state! I belive that Jester, L'Avatar, Tommy, and Webspoke were all on that ride.
Worst part about that ride was 121 on the way home from Frisco :P
But I still enjoyed it

Aw schucks guys :-*[roll] 8)
We've never had the time to go even further south where the roads are just as good. We would need a couple more hours longer than what we've done for a really good ride.
I haven't gone through those roads in many years now so getting lost is going to be easier. I don't even have to try too hard. Any takers? ;D
cdc
I'm in of course, next year.
