October 17th Ride - Charles De Castro (CDC) honorary ride.

[muskrat]

There are some straights and you are more than welcome to offer suggestions but the road South of the McKinney airport to Princeton cannot be missed along with 545.

I don't know how to route the map on google maps so I've detailed the route below.

Meet at 9:00 a.m.

Start at the corner of hwy 5 and El Dorado Parkway (QT gas station)
Go towards McKinney Airport and pick up hwy 546 â€" fun twisty section
North on 982 to Princeton (go through Princeton) - a little construction but only for 7 miles
Pick up 1377 North towards Blue Ridge â€" long sweepers
Left on 545 heading East to 121 intersection â€" tight turns with some straights
121 North to Westminster â€" 10 miles of straighter than hell roads
3133 North to 2799 where we gas up at Tom Bean
11 West to 69 North â€" straight and boring but no way around that
Then onto 697 East â€" well known and fun as hell road that takes us just south of Sherman.

Lunch and then everyone can superslab or take 11 South back to 2799 and onto 121 West to 75 South and into Anna for some 455 West into Celina where you will be 10 miles North of the Dallas North Tollway.

Suggestions are welcome to avoid the 121 North to Westminster but 697 CANNOT be missed.

so who is in?

[Mhanis]

I am a definate maybe. There are somne pretty good roads up that way.

[Stinson]

I'm in.

[CajunR]

If the position of "slow guy" hasn't been filled yet, I'm most likely in. 

I think I've got some gaps in the route here, and my work PC may have jacked this up, but here's what I get from Muskrat's directions above:

[TresGatos]

Thanks Rob for the map
The route looks good, and I'm not against riding out and back on the same route. [moto]

[muskrat]

when we get to Sherman we can decide if we want to scoot the same roads.  I don't care one bit, it will be a blast no matter.  System Error rode part of it Sunday with me and Stan late afternoon and liked it.
