I appreciate that but it is far from needed for me...  I simply want to ride on nice roads with fun routes, and with good people.  The heat is killer so an early ride would be nice. You guys tell me where and when to meet and I'll be there!  I can barely wait...   

any route ideas, folks?

Dax seems anti-Muenster. And if we leave real early lunch is out anyway.

If we do Muenster, I'd sure like to hit 385? into Sanger. It's the one Will had on his gps that we almost missed even with the gps.
Also, I could check on the little dog I hit

I'll ride wherever, but the roads east of Celina are technical asphalt.

I'm not anti Muenster, just tired of Muenster for now. 

The roads East of Celina aren't the same ones you rode last time.  I'm going much further out, think NE of McKinney.  Anyway, no worries, I'll do my thing either way.

We could detour off near Whitewright/Bonham and do a few of the roads from the old Swanny route ( ftm697 and 898), then head up for lunch at the casino and back down those twisties again on the way home.

We are hosting a cruiser ride this Sunday, July 18th. Leaving from here at 8:00 am. We'll ride about 200 miles with a stop for lunch. Come on out and join us.

Just got this in via email.  Might be an option?   

If all of u werent in oklahoma i would give you my hico or dublin route

here you go:

short route, not to technical: meet in mckinney and take 75 north to fm455 west to 289 north to fm121 west to 377 north to fm922 west to fm372 north and eat in gainsville.

long route, prob to complicated unless you have gps: meet in lewisville and take 35n to teasley east across the lake, north/west on fm 720, east on 380, north on fm 1385, east on fm455 through celina to anna, take 5 north to van alstyne, east on fm121 to 160 north west on 697 into sherman.

took about an hour! of course i don't know if any of these are worth a shit because i live in texas not oklahoma.

Hey Lise, the Eurpsport ride is this weekend not next.
Which is food as I work Satand Sun.

Also, this year the Summer ride theme is leave before
sunup, skip lunch as we get home by noon to beat
the heat.   

I don't think getting home before noon will matter.  Shit, it's been 100 by 10 a.m. lately.  This shit is for the birds.  Must find summer retreat soon!

Very true.  Hell, it's pretty brutal sitting at a stop light for two minutes at 6:30am now.  I'm drenched by the time I get to work.

Yep, even cruising around on a night ride sucks these days; both of my motos are under their covers and resting peacefully in the garage     I HATE Texas summers... I grew up here and you just never get used to the blast furnace outside.

Stinson, I'm in for a ride the weekend of the 24th and 25th. I'll continue to follow this thread as to see how things develop. Hope to see you guys then.
