So a few of us Houston folks are planning on riding down to Austin Saturday morning, find a watering hole that evening and return home Sunday. We're looking for some direction where we could find lodging. With all the displaced Gulf Coast families spread out over different Texas cities we think it may be difficult to secure lodging with such short notice. Any help in pointing us to the right place would be greatly appreciated.
 Cheesy

And of course we would love to hook up with some locals for some fun riding.

I work until 12am on Sat. but I can hook up with you after work if you are still out at that time. Also, I have a spare room, a couch and plenty of floor space if any one needs a place to crash. A warning: I live a little out of town on 1626 between Austin and Buda. Call me at 512 300-5060 and let me know what you plan to do. Also, I'll be up for a ride on Sunday.

This should be fun.............

You're hooked up & inked, just get yer asses here safely.......

Due to the drought (?); looking at the road kill, I'd have to say there's a lot of critters searching for water/food....heads up....especially porcupines   .........ouch!!

Also, speed traps (55, HA!) on 290E near the intersection of 183......ACL + UT/ARK = PoPo

It was good to meet Ducatibilt and Chill at Ming's on Saturday. Lucky we all showed up at approximately the same time. Enjoy your ride tomorrow.

Sad to hear about the crash, but happy to know that it wasn't too serious and that no one got hurt. It seems like you guys had some fun.  waytogo

As for the group rides thing, I have to disagree a bit with you.

Group rides should have one of the more experienced riders doing sweep work, and the people that aren't comfortable riding fast should stay towards the back, so they don't ruin the fun for those wanting to go faster.

When the guys in front are going to cross an intersection or go into another road, that's when they stop and wait for the others. This way everybody can ride at a pace they feel comfortable with and have fun at the same time.

Can't disagree with you on the tools though, they are elemental.
