Yup, it did happen. It ended up being three bikes to start and two to finish the whole thing. Rex had a prior engagement that he made with 5 mins to spare and cdc and I finished and then some.

The route:

30E to 36s (past royce city) to 1564e (short sidestep on 34n then back on 1564e) to 69s/e to Emory.
From Emory @69 we took 779s/e thru Golden and Calvary to 37 n into Quitman.
In Quitman, we hopped on 154w for a short bit then 2225n to 515w across lake fork twice to 17s.
Stay on 17s thru Alba back to 779w. From 779w you will see 3274w/n (only one way to go).
3274 will drop you on 19 go north for a short hop to 69w then back to 1564w to 34s to 1564w to 36n to 30w.

Lot of nice sweepers, went quite a bit quicker than the posted speed limit but I'll never tell how much quicker.

Both restaurants are great places for a meet and should be added to the map in my opinion. They are on Commerce street in Deep elum only a few blocks from each other. Cowboy chow is only open during lunch hours. Awesome breakfast food too by the way. Twisted root burger  is also mostly open only for lunch except on saturdays when it is open til 9pm.

Jason Boso is doing better according to our waiter he is home and out of ICU and he will be able to keep his lung. Still gonna take a while to heal the broken ribs, shoulder, etc.

Great time, great weather, great company, Great ride!

Next time, I'll do a bit more checking and seeing for a better date when it won't conflict with a Major ride that I secretly wish I were on instead. Heh Heh.

Sorry for the late reply to this post as my computer was having technical difficulties.

By the way, I liked cdc's lane changes in quick succession on the way home. made for a shorter return commute from emory.
