That's right, folks. In response to suggestions by several members over the last few years, we are combining the monthly meeting and monthly ride this month. Our meeting will be at Riscky's BBQ in the Historic Stockyards in Ft Worth. Let's get there when they open at 11:00am, have some lunch, have our meeting, and then walk it off in the stockyards. Ideas for meet-ups and ride-in groups??? Contact info: Riscky's Barbeque 140 E. Exchange Ave. in Stockyards Station Fort Worth, Texas 76164 817-626-7777 Riscky's BBQ Stockyards Website and Menu |

I'm definitely up for a Collin County sub-clique ride-in. My personal preference would be to leave early to have a leisurely ride to Ft Worth and leave plenty of time for walking off what I expect will be a massive lunch... But I'll do whatever the group wants to do. Since BnB Tom was the first to walk into the trap I laid bring it up, I believe it's the perfect time for him to plan a route, select a meet-up location, and determine the meet-up and KSU times for us north-siders.  TIA for stepping up, Tom!  |

Of all things.
My father in law passed away Tuesday night. Funeral is Saturday at 1pm.
This leaves me out of everything this Saturday. If anyone is going Saturday that wants patches, I will send them with Disco.

OK, I'm thinking early start and a meandering (non-highway) route to Ft Worth.
Meetup: 0830 at the 7-11 at the northwest corner of Eldorado and Hillcrest in Frisco.
KSU: 0845
Eldorado through Frisco into Little Elm, south on Garza and across the lake. Hey Thag & Holly, wanna meet 9-ish just west of I-35 on Swisher? Then, Swisher west eventually to 407 all the way to 287 south to 3433 south to 718 to 1220 south to 820 northeast to Marine Creek Pkwy and on in to the Stockyards. Maybe not the best route ever, but it stays off the Interstate and stretches 53 miles and 1:03 into 77 miles and 2:05.
Should I be looking for anyone at the 7-11?

As always, I had a great time seeing friends and making new ones. Lisa enjoyed herself and sends her thanks for the hospitality. Serk, thanks again for the charger, check your email. Disco, thanks for bringing the patches and for putting all this on. I will email ya later on this week , hopefully, about what parts I will need for Wall-E. Same with you too Vic. I'll contact you later on soon about sizes and whatnot. Welcome to the club Christbiker. Like I said, these people are great. They won't steer you wrong about the Valkyrie. Garfield, nice to finally meet ya along with Doc. I look forward to seeing everyone again in the near future, as soon as I can get my stuff moved into the new house. Yeah, I remember, lift with your legs . Be safe, and God bless you all. Walt |
