Sounds like a great trip but might be hard to take time off. Put me down as interested.

remember this isnt the h/c trip where we go just to ride abunch of twisties. it's a big loop coering different areas. this is the route. we arent doing any figure 8's or crazy shit like that unless you wanna come up with your own. then you can post it up, lead and do the logistics involved.
Looks like fun. Both of my parents and their parents, etc. etc., were from Orange and Beaumont. Hadn't been back there in decades... As I recall, you can smell Beaumont before you can see it  Refineries are everywhere down there. Who cares! Let's GO [moto] |

actually that's a nice ride but I might suggest getting on the highlighted red route instead of up 69.

Sounds like fun. Have any dates in mind - I'm guessing that part of the ride would be over a weekend? What kinda bikes are y'all riding? Mine's an ST3, so I won't be flogging it (OK, AND I'm 64 in a couple of weeks).  And I'll need to put new rubber on before we launch. I betch RickMillerTX would sign up, too. Thanks for thinking of me. 400 miles per day 4 days is probably more fun than I could stand. The google route you posted looks like 300 miles per day and that is more in my range for fun. I'm afraid I can't do a 4 day trip this year. I'm already committed to 2 multi-day rides this fall. Sounds like a fun idea you have planned and I'll keep watching this thread. |

there are some nice roads North of Amarillo believe it or not. Dumas, Pampa, Borger and surrounding along with the Canyon aren't that bad but the problem is getting there.  |

Excellent use of "gulag".  Well done. Now try "axiomatic" just for fun. |

 It is axiomatic to say that the route has been set, and deviations, serving suggestions, and Texas panhandle plots are unwelcome. Not that I would dare to speak for our own inexorable Calscrazy, I spell too good & I has grammar too.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

i was thinking either this or annual h/c. h/c is becoming like a religious get-a-way but the koyote is getting old that is the only reason for a feeler.

Makes sense. Something different sounds good. Arkansas.........Eureka Springs area?
Maybe an Arkansas four day weekend in the first half of the year (May or June), then maybe the Tour of Texas ride in it's traditional September time slot? And there's the big ride in the Rockies in August... |
