Sorry once again for the short notice, but a new friend and I are planning to do the ol' ET200 this Thursday, 6th. We'll be parking in the south parking lot of the Kountz, First Baptist church. The parking lot is on S. Hickory St. (30.367960, -94.313147). Kick stands up at 0900 if anyone wants to join us.
 
Wouldn't ya flerken know it. Wife's gonnna be heading out of town in my vehicle late this week.
 
Roads are dry
Sand is loose
Bring your best goggles
It will be Dusty
 
Good ride today. It was dry and the sand was pretty loose/deep in certain sections, but we both enjoy that and had fun flying through it. Bill's a good rider, and we made great time getting to Colmesneil for lunch at the Bulldog Country Cafe. I've been meaning to try the place, and was glad I did; food was good and the sweet tea was perfect. Becky, the owner, came by to introduce herself and let us know the proper pronounciation of Colmesneil is "Colm-neil" (the "es" is silent)... so now we know. She also offered us complimentary bread pudding, and who could say no to that?! After eating too much though, we decided not to complete the ride, but just slab it back to Kountze and head home. Both of us were a bit tired, but even more, stuffed! Hopefully they'll get some rain up there soon though to keep the dust down and make that sand more tacky. I didn't take many pics, but here's the few I did:

I should have last bike purchase. I do pretty good around here on the 850, just slow. I won't be purchasing a bike for a long time.
 
Oh yeah, that 850 will go alot of places, and speed is never a requirement. I'm definitely on my last bikes as well,... :uhoh:

SETEX 200

This ride was originally posted up in 2012 by Silsvee. It was recently rediscovered as a route and magically turned into a track. I have not ridden it and offer it up as nothing more than a potential addition to our East Texas canon. If others have experience with this ride please post up. GPX...
