I'll put together a ride but I'm leaving at 7 a.m. sharp to gas up and then hit 455 to 545 to Tom Bean and then onto the roller coaster of 697 (you can scrub your chicken strips here). It's going to be non stop riding only stops for gas and piss/shit. The loop is about 170 miles if interested and can be done in 3 hours with stops
Who's in?
Sure hope I can. More info later...
Sounds tempting. I'll fence sit a while longer thought before I commit [evil]
I could be in on this, depending where we meet and where we go, and if muskrat is going? please fill in the blanks...
Will post info tomorrow
thanks!
I am going to be by myself this is very likely!
Yeah, why not. I'm in [Dolph]

Cool!
post up the info, cant be gone all day, the dogs will need some attention. but this sounds doable!
Sounds good - where meeting? 7AM - I can do that [coffee]
LEAVE at 9:00 a .m. at the QT station on the corner of Teel and Main Street in Frisco just off the Dallas North Tollway. here QuikTrip Store #937
4645 MAIN ST
FRISCO, TX 75034
214-872-1656
We will ride up the Dallas parkway to Celina and catch 455 East onto hwy 75 onto the service road southbound
Go towards McKinney Airport and pick up hwy 546 â€" fun twisty section
North on 982 to Princeton (go through Princeton)
Pick up 1377 North towards Blue Ridge â€" long sweepers
Left on 545 heading East to 121 intersection â€" tight turns with some straights
hwy 5 North to Van Alstyne onto 121 East
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.
Turn around and hit 697 again. [Dolph]
You can cruise back with us on much the same route (shortened a bit) or slab it on hwy 75
so who is in? The trip should be no more than about 3 hours. We can shorten the trip by cutting out the airport and sticking to the 455 & 697 runs with the southbound and northbound service roads on hwy 75 which are fun

8-ish. Red Bull for EVERYONE :D
I'm in on this one. [Dolph]
If I can make it, an 8:00 departure would be nice and cool.
I'll know more Sunday, assuming this is a Monday ride.

Add another Westie on a Multi to the mix; Alan B. can make this one.

FYI. There is some road construction on 697. It starts a few miles West of Ida and goes almost to Sherman. There are patches of new asphalt as well as patches of gravel. It is not bad enough to ruin the ride but there is some loose stuff in places. Be careful!
That's good to know. Thanks.
great now we are going to be chasing a Multi all day. see you guys tomorrow at 8'ish
You kids have fun tomorrow, and remember... Don't ride like I do! ;D [Dolph]

Excellent riding day - we had a blast. Thanks muskrat for putting this one together [thumbsup]
