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

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 – fun twisty section
North on 982 to Princeton (go through Princeton)
Pick up 1377 North towards Blue Ridge – long sweepers
Left on 545 heading East to 121 intersection – 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 – straight and boring but no way around that
Then onto 697 East – 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
