Now rest up - there's another Hill Country Run in October  Evil  Maybe we can get Swanny to go this time!

But that's so far away!  Cry

What will I do? how will I destroy tyres?

Also, riding 2-up will wear out tires faster... cheeky

I need a vacation to recover from the trip  cheeky

Koyote-3 Sisters-Koyote is 191.2 miles.
We did that yesterday morning in just over 4 hours (keep in mind a LOT of 10 & 15 mph corners)
Emptied the cabin AND loaded bikes in 1 hour, & made Fredericksburg by 5:00 for supper...

Are we not Men?

Is there a thread started for this yet??

It's only 4 months away people!  We can't hope to match the grandeur of the Spring 2008 HC Ride unless we start planning now!  We need committees, officials, bylaws, maps, schedules, and sufficient time for the Brewmister to start the next 35 gallons!  drink

good to hear everyone made it back safely, no downs!  waytogo

well, except that literally less than a mile back to scott's house, one of the tie downs that held my bike on BROKE...

luckily it doesn't look like much damage except for some minor scrapes on the header pipe and a nice gouge in the powdercoat on the bottom of my right side engine case cover  Cry


you know, someone did mention making a Big Bend trip next time instead of Hill Country.  Would be a MUCH bigger trip though...

hey hey now, that's my first tire there! I was pretty damn proud of the fact that it's destroyed. are you implying I should wear it out MORE before I take it off and hang it on the wall of my office?   Cool
