Title: WRL Brunch Excusion to Rowlett, Sat July 10 Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Jul 6th, 2010, 11:04am I'd like to organize a ride for this coming Saturday morning, that involves riding from WRL out to our place in Rowlett for brunch... I realize that Saturday morning all the runners are out, but I think we can go CCW around the lake against traffic without too much problem... I'd like to meet at a parking lot near Barbec's, for a 7:45 rollout. We would do one partial lap around WRL, then cut off at the south end, to ride out to Rowlett, going through Little Forest Hills, across John West, then up La Prada to Duck Creek /Rowlett Rd. It's essentially 15 miles out to my house... There is some climbing involved, so plan on getting your exercise -- but we'll go "no drop" or at least split into two with regrouping along the way. THIS IS A CASUAL RIDE PACE... Once we get to our house (around 9:30ish), we'll have brunch... we'll have a sausage casserole, pancakes, muffins, coffee, juice, etc... Then at around 10:30-11AM, we'll head back to WRL along the same route -- it's a friendlier ride, climbing-wise, in that direction!!! Overall, we should get back to the start around 12:00-12:30, with around 40 miles total. Please indicate if you plan to join this event, so we can start planning brunch stuff and quantities.... and we'll figure out the best place to meet at WRL. Enjoy, Paul |

Title: Re: WRL Brunch Excusion to Rowlett, Sat July 10 Post by TonyWard on Jul 6th, 2010, 1:27pm How could I miss this? I'm in!!! Paul - let me know if you are planning on riding to the lake that morning and back that afternoon (in addition to the planned ride) and I'll probably join you. I figure you will probably be busy getting things together so no worries if you aren't. Otherwise, I'll probably hit a couple laps before the ride starts if anyone else is interested, let me know. |

I'm actually thinking of exactly that, departing from the house at about 6:30AM... There's scattered showers in the forecast, but we'll go under the assumption that the weather will be good, for now. |

Title: Re: WRL Brunch Excusion to Rowlett, Sat July 10 Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Jul 8th, 2010, 11:21am Here's the map, starting from the south end of WRL... http://ridewithgps.com/routes/114628 For a starting point, let's just meet at the point where the road from Barbec's meets the WRL path -- park wherever you want to around there, but we'll leave from this location... I believe it's "Emerald isle drive" |

Title: Re: WRL Brunch Excusion to Rowlett, Sat July 10 Post by TonyWard on Jul 9th, 2010, 9:46am Hope that rain stays away - or is at least light. Minimal amount of rain fall according to http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Rowlett&state=TX&site=FWD&textField1=32.9081&textField2=-96.55&e=0&FcstType=graphical Paul - you get my email about meeting @ 6:30 in Rowlett at Miller & Rowlett Rd? |

Title: Re: WRL Brunch Excusion to Rowlett, Sat July 10 Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Jul 9th, 2010, 9:15pm It's looking like mostly clear by morning, so this ride is ON as of now... We'll have muffins, and a breakfast taco "buffet", with scrambled eggs, cheese, sausage, and bacon, etc. See you in the morning! |

Title: Re: WRL Brunch Excusion to Rowlett, Sat July 10 Post by Action Lad on Jul 9th, 2010, 9:49pm I'd love to go, but spent today wiping down, lubing, and cleaning up from taking the chance at WRL yesterday. Will check with the weatherman...well, I'm getting 50% chance, so I'm out. Thanks for the offer. Y'all have fun! |

Title: Re: WRL Brunch Excusion to Rowlett, Sat July 10 Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Jul 10th, 2010, 6:09am 6:00 and the radar is clear, streets are drying... we're rollling towards WRL in a little bit... Again, meet at the place where the driveway/road from Barbec's meets the WRLake path, 7:45 rollout. If you're running late, call me 214 923 9551 Paul |
