Valkyrie Riders Cruiser Club

With the unfortunate but necessary cancellation of the hill country ride, we'll be looking at rescheduling that for the spring sometime.  In the meantime, let's do a meet in the middle ride in a week and a half.
Sunday, October 28.  Let's meet for lunch in Centerville at Woody's.  Precise time is TBD.  (Yes, I know that Centerville isn't in the middle of Texas, but ya'll in the Austin/SA area have the hill country ride in your backyards, so...)
We'll work up a Houston group to ride up together, and I expect a DFW group and a CenTex group as well.

More details to come.  Chime in if you're available/interested.

Mark

Sounds good, Mark.  I plan to be there.

Sounds like a win win for all, thanks Mark.

Sounds interesting, will see if I can make the ride.

I am planning on it just need to find someone to cover for me at work. I will know for sure Saturday.

Contemplating the possibilities...

Google Maps says there's a Woody's on both sides of I-45 in Centerville, which one would we meet at?

The big one on the northbound side.  NE quadrant of 45 & 7.

Pencil me in as a definite maybe, gonna try to make it...

What time ya'll wanna aim to be in Centerville?

The one on the right side.  (Assuming you're coming from the better direction.)    :D

Let's call it noon.

So..... Anyone got this on their calendar? Weather's looking glorious...

I'm planning to go and I've sent ticklers out to several folks.  Only one response, so far, and it was to decline due to a prior commitment. 

I'm thinking an I-45 blast down and a meandering return in time to attend the Denton Moto Collective Movie Night at 6p at Andy's Bar on the square.  This month's feature is Greasy Hands Preachers.

I'm planning to go. Anyone else from the Houston area?

Thanks for the weather report.  Today was a little discouraging.

As on right now at least, Wunderground is saying for Centerville, Sunday will be "Mostly Sunny", high of 75, 0" of rain.

So yeah, I'm planning on going... Will probably have Kali with me too...

Pillion, Helix, or Blue & Cream?

Passenger...

Helix is fun around town, wouldn't wanna take it cross country with a top speed of maybe 70, downhill, with a tail wind (And haven't gotten it back from the Honda shop who's tuning it up yet anyway) and she hasn't ridden the Blue and Ivory more than a few laps around a parking lot so far...
(And she still doesn't have her license, late November was the soonest we could get her in for that....  :tickedoff: )

 :roll:

Sunday 28th is a good one for us the weather is supposed to be good.Let s go.

I can meander down 105 to 1725, 150 and I45 to Centerville in about 3hrs. But if I ride my ride I can still get there by 12:00 noon.

I will be going up 146 to 321 then 105 to the same route as Eli. Mark if you would like to meet at my house than maybe we could meet Eli at 105 and 321 intersection.

If I get a 'hall pass' I could shoot down I-45 and be there BEFORE noon..  maybe 11:45  :coolsmiley:

I will look for a time Kevin, good meet up location.

Think we can make this … noon at Woody's?

Good plan for the Houston riders.  There's a Valero at 105 and 321.  Meet there at 10?  Google Maps says 1:40 from there to Woody's, so that'll give us a few minutes slack.
Gitter, I don't remember where you live.  If you remind me, I have a better chance of being there Sunday morning.

Franco6:  You're welcome to meet us at 321 and 105 or suggest a supplemental meetup location.
Turtle:  What route do you intend to take?  We could pick you up along the way, possibly in Huntsville?

Mark

Sure, going thru Huntsville onto 45 .

Cleveland by 10 am no problem ,We should leave around 8:30 or so . :coolsmiley:  See you all there :)

Hey Mark, is this a dash down 45 route? I was planning to leave a bit earlier to get in a few miles before Woody’s, 75mph is a bit fast and too much traffic for me. Post what you have planned.

I thought you were planning to hit 45 around Huntsville. 
Everyone check back in for possibly revised times.

Mark

Everything east and parallel to 45 but not on it. GoogleMaps, avoid highways and tolls from Cleveland to Midway, to Centerville, gives you an idea of a decent route of about 2hrs.

Anyone meeting in Huntsville?

That sounds fine to me. Does the meet-up location sound good? Pick a time when we should be there. We'll make it happen.

It may not end up being directly in Huntsville, let me look at the map and pick a good spot to meet. After Eli gets back to me, I'll tell you a good time.

Mark, if you, Fred and Kevin + anyone else would like to meet at 321/105 that is still doable, maybe a few minutes earlier. We can ride thru Huntsville and meet the Turtle, continue on to Midway via 247. What do you think? From New Waverley, 75 into Huntsville.

Any where around Huntsville, just need a time and place.

I may have to bail.  Medical issues at the house are making it look like leaving for 8 or 10 hours would be inadvisable.

Mark

Vita and I can meet you in Hooterville. Where and what time?


Mike

I will make this my ride, 321/105 9:30, Huntsville approximately 10:30 on business 75 toward 247. After meet up 247 to Midway, 21 to FM 2967, to FM132, to 7 west, FM542 to FM831 to 75 south to Centerville.
Route can be altered or shortened if needed. Hope we can all meet up, enjoy the ride and the bbq.

PS. Michael, Turtle, since I am not that familiar with Huntsville, maybe both of you can chime in and tell me where you will or can be. Thanks

Sorry to hear that you cannot make it Mark, family first.

How about we meet at the new H.E.B. at Hwy. 75 & 11th Street at 10:30?

Quick and easy jump back over to Hwy. 247 towards Midway.

Sounds good to me.

Need a spot in the parking lot to meet

Thanks Michael, that’s good for me, we should be able to make it in an hour.

Eli we ll meet you at the Valero at 10:00 and go on from there?
 Sorry to hear about Mark not making it .

Eli what time do you want us at the Valero?  If the Huntsville gang is saying 10:30 then we should meet at 9:30. Thoughts?

How about we meet at the H.E.B. gas station. That way anybody needing to top off with gas can do so.


Mike

Sounds good

See you at about 10:30

9:30 sounds good in order to meet the gang in Huntsville by 10:30.

In case anyone up north is lurking and wants to meet up...

I'm meeting BnB Tom at the QT at Swisher and 35 in Lake Dallas at 0900. 

From there, it's south to meet Randal at the McDonald's at Sandy Lake and 35 at 0930. 

After that, we'll take 35 to Woodall Rogers to 45 and meet Chauffeur at the Exxon at Business 287/34 and 45 in Ennis.  That looks to be about a 50 minute ride, so we'll probably be out of there by 1030. 

It's about an hour and fifteen minutes from there to Woody's, so our ETA at this point is 1145.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and enjoying a beautiful Texas autumn day.  High up here is forecast to be 84.

Ride Safely, everyone!

One hour Cleveland -Huntsville ?
We ll make it 9:30 at the valero

We will be pulling out of Valero at 930. No Franco6

We will be pulling out in a few minutes probably 945 so we will be at HEB at 1045

Found Fred. On schedule for 1045. 

Mike and Vita are back in the house.

Got to meet some really nice people we've never met before, eat some good BBQ, and then went on a nice ride. What a GREAT day!!!



Mike

What a beautiful day for a great ride. It was lots of fun meeting all of you and hope to see you all real soon! :)
Brenda & Charlie

Lucky and I are back at the house safe and sound.  Went and visited my brother and his wife in Trinity and just now made it back home. 
Good to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones. 

Hay 8)
Jimmyt

I'm sorry I missed it.  It was a beautiful day.  Turned out to be the right choice, though.  I was definitely needed at home.

Mark

It was a great day for a lunch ride!  It was great to see so many there and sad to know others had to miss out. 

Let's do it again soon!
