Title: Pre-Ride for Sunday's race watch party
Post by: muskrat on May 06, 2010, 06:53:24 PM
those interested in joining the ride meet at the SE corner of Dallas North Tollway and 121.  You will say a great big IKEA just North of you.  Be there at 11:00 a.m. for kick stands up.  The run will be about 60 miles and end at Stan & Sue's for some Italian dishes she's been cooking since yesterday.

Would that be the Blue Mesa parking lot?   ???

How many time will we have to stop for fuel for the Ducs?  [cheeky]

Do I have to cook Chef-Boyardee that long?   [bang]

Don't worry all, no Chef-Boyardee on the menu...   [wine]

i'm in. Quick question to save me time:

If I'm coming up the tollway to meet you, I'll exit on 121 and turn right, nearly immediately, into a shopping center for this place? Make sure I've got my bearings correct. I don't want to cruise around aimlessly for a bit first.

You got it, it is the parking lot with the Blue Mesa, Zea grill and some other stuff.  Some construction around the exit, so be ready to dive right after coming off the ramp, or exit one early at headquarters, and roll down the access road to it.

Had a great time! Wish it wasn't quite so overcast.


Nice to shake the rust off after the winter on something other than straightaways and city streets.
