that depends on how much you intend on eating!!
we did about 75% of the route in about two hours. if ou get in a hurry to get back you can slab it down 20. i will take 16 south to 180 to 4 and come back in through 917 by AMS-A. some fun twisties and a more direct route.

Something seems off here. This route shows only two roads off of 820; 199 to 380 (BORING). The one you showed me before was a LOT more interesting.

You need his mapquest password or else it gives the shortest route between two points.

FYI, you should be able to grab the correct link for sharing by clicking on "Link or Embed". You have to do the same thing when sharing links out of Google maps too.
Cool. Interestingly, when I opened the map link, the route went off the chart... For this group; who knew? [evil]
Anyone slow going on this ride?

Mentally? [evil]
Ha! Let me re-phrase that;
I'm going to be riding my cruiser; does this ride need someone to ride sweep? ;D
sweep is yours if you want it.
will that is it. there are two sections i would like to change but i just don't want to do it until i have a chance to ride them. 180 is kinda boring but not a bad little breather before things pick up again. i fear 16 coming out graham is like that but i didn't get the chance to ride that section. plus it is difficult to find ways around them.
speak up if you are going.
we go ksu at 9a.m.
i am going to make this one.. I will be at the starbucks before 9:00 am..
Have a great ride!!!! [moto]
plenty of H2O [thumbsup]
Slept through my alarm; phone woke me up at 9! Sorry to have held up the start of your ride :-X
Have a great ride.
I'm gearing up. Where the heck are my panties?! :D

No worries. You missed a fun ride full of interesting twists & turns (literally & figuratively).
Thanks again Chris for putting this together. I'd definitely do this one again. [thumbsup]
Its not short on speed thats for sure. Can't tell u how many times i hit the rev limiter! Is ashook home yet? If anybody knows the name of a good fair priced painter post up please
Glad to hear it was fun [thumbsup]

Too bad your alarm didn't do the job... it was a good time! :)
"next time" [thumbsup]

what are you painting?
1098 bodywork
Thanks guys. That was fun although I was not 100% glad I made it. Sorry to have slowed you guys down a bit. I couldnt have been riding with a better group of folks...
For all of you who missed the fun ride.. you also missed watching me overshoot a turn, miss oncoming traffic by a hair and then land in dirt..:) Bike damage is minimal with some scratches and bent levers etc.. My front tire also took in a nail.. [bang] The team pitched in and got me all fixed up and we completed the run.. Rich was in full swing fixing up the tire, straightening the levers etc while William and I inflated the tire. Thanks to William's tools and tire patch kit I was able to be up and running in no time.. Chris was always there looking out for me when I was falling behind on the group.. like I said this was a great ride and even better company.. [thumbsup]
Lunch was great only because of the conversations as there was nothing on the menu with Truffle oil.. :P The conversations were mostly centered around "Motor Talk" and of course women.. [evil]
Ashok
Ashok, glad to hear you're O.K. As far as the bike goes, just look at the upcoming repairs as a really good necessary opportunity to MOD! [evil]
Over the last five years I've been on many group rides with most everyone on this board and the DFW Ducati Forum but the one thing every ride has had in common is that people always look out for each other. Couldn't ask for anything else when you get right down to it. I've never felt uncomfortable or out of place on these rides and wouldn't hesitate to go anywhere with this group.
So hats off - y'all are the best [thumbsup]
Everything Lisa said--This group is the best!
Glad you are OK, man. [thumbsup]
Good to hear your drop was not too bad [thumbsup].
Yep, these people wil after each other. Good friends
a plenty :)
