ride reports and stories and pics go here!
Wish I could have been there, I liked this place last time.
 
Pictures to follow, but good turnout. Hung out with the campers for an hour or so then headed home. Three short showers on the way home were just enough to cool me off some. Yes, 25 miles and 3 showers. I'm glad we were going opposite to their direction.

I didn't count heads, but over 30 and less than 40, I'd say.
 
It was good to meet the regulars. :clap: I forgot to have Streudel though but I was able to feast on the Schenitzel. It was tasty. Jeff S and I joined Rod with Phil and HobbitRider for a goat-path tour around the Salado area. HobbitRider had a memorable experience with a pile of gravel in the middle of the road during a turn unto another county road. His bike sustained minor damage. The rider experienced a sprained ankle but made it home safely.

Jeff S and I rode home and caught a large downdraft of wind and rain but it did cool the air temperature nicely.

:rider:

Happy Trails,

RB
 
was good meeting you all there, the food was absolutely great, even the strudel without ice cream. I was surprised that this many people showed up I was expectig 10 or so from the responses in the other thread.
Had good conversations over lunch, think I will be joining the mexico ride.
 
I did about 310 mi total & was pleasantly surprised of the outcome. Always nice to see my friends there & meet some new ones. Thanks Erik "Rainmaker" for meeting me there after a last minute decision this morning.

I got poured on outside of Madisonville & again when the wind gust made me wonder if I should seek shelter coming into Huntsville. Strangely the rainbow kept me moving on & I got home safely.

Yep, my first Pie Run was memorable! Had a great time even though I dropped my bike. Just glad that last weekend's project was installing crash bars!
 
I am glad you are OK. The very high grass on the turns tends to make it hard to see the gravel lurking in the corners and at the intersections too.

Yes...the skinny roads may not hav much traffic ta deal with.... but they DO hav a very different set of limitations ta consider. We hafta be ever observant of conditions.... (I too hav lapsed into misjudgement at times...not good))))
I'll try ta keep a watch on the conditions as leader & signal any things to watch for. My "hand sweeping the road" (think of the sport curling) signal is for loose surface ...watch it

Fred Bryan & Jeff....& of course Phil glad yall liked the stuff on my pavement platter Saturday
The backroad buffet followed the foody one

Oh, thank to those that donated stickers for our naked ramp door.

Not done yet, but she is starting to look a little more clothed as Vanna White demonstrates
