Title: RBENT Jersey Distribution Ride, Sept 12 4PM
Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Aug 15^th, 2010, 7:50am

[b][NOTE: Sept 12 4PM rollout from BigBuck's -- see later posts]

For the moment, I'm assuming the new RBENT jerseys will arrive in early September... Since there are almost 40 people getting them, it makes sense to organize some group rides for people to attend, no? So, the weekend of the 11th looks like a reasonable choice. Come on out to either or both -- there will be two distance options for each ride, and we'll grab something to eat after both. We'll plan 8AM rollouts, since it may still be kinda warm, so plan to arrive by 7:30ish to have time to get your jersey and be ready to ride.

Monday Sept 6 -- Never mind, jerseys not here yet

Saturday 9/11 -- cancelled

Sunday 9/12 -- in re-development

Route maps and more info to come.... Bring a friend, whether they're getting a jersey or not!

Paul, I'm going to be out of town that weekend. I"m delivering a trike to my brother in Mississippi---trying to make him a bent rider. I'll email you to set-up plans to pick-up my jersey.

Not a problem, Dianna -- assuming you're driving, let me know when you're going to be in the 635 and I-20/I-30 area, and we can meet...

Paul I also can't make it the 11th or 12th I will just try and set up a time to meet in the Dallas area.

There's a chance that the jerseys will arrive that first week of September -- I'll be going to the RANS Rally over Friday-Sunday of Labor Day Weekend, but since Monday is the holiday as such, let's arrange a ride that morning for those who can make it.

Meeting place: Tee Pee Hill parking lot, 8AM rollout.

Route: We'll ride out St. Francis to I-30, taking the Hwy 80 service road out into Mesquite, and back.

Pace: Casual cruise, keeping everybody together.

Distance: ~30 miles.

I've had a conflict come up for Saturday the 11th -- would someone be able to map out and lead a ride from Big Bucks in my place? I can bring out the jerseys, but can't do a ride... It may make sense to just go down 26 and Texan Trail, do DFW and back...

OK, the jerseys are supposed to ship by the end of this week, so I should have them late next week... Therefore I'm going to kill the TPHill ride on the 6th, and I can't do any riding on Saturday the 11th due to other conflicts, including going to FtW for a TCU football game...

Sooo... I'll figure out some ride to organize for Sunday the 12th, as a starting point for jersey distribution, and I'll hit the Clown breakfast that next Tuesday, as well.

Jerseys come in yet? Wondering if the ride on Sunday (12th) is still on. Weather showing 30% chance of T-Storms. I hope it doesn't rain all weekend, I'd like to get out and ride!!

Jerseys should arrive today... they're listed as "out for delivery" on TNT's website.

With church stuff happening in the morning, and the Cowboy game (if you care) happening in the evening, let's set up a casual ride for a 4PM rollout Sunday afternoon. Plan to meet at Big Buck's Steakhouse parking lot (121 north of DFW) around 3:30 to get and try on your jerseys. We'll ride down Texan Trail down to the airport, and loop the airport -- let's keep everybody together at a casual pace for the first part, until we get to the Tower Loop split -- then faster folks can take off for that extra ~3 mile section, and catch the casual group further on up the road -- regrouping everyone at the Observation Area on the north end for the ride back up to Big Buck's.

Paul for those of us who don't ride this [ever] very much can you tell us how long the ride is? If I can work out the CB[smiley=deadhorsebeat.gif] by then maybe I can make it...Google maps tell me it's the parking lot where Bass Pro shop is, correct?

Yes, where Bass Pro is... The ride total mileage is 21-22 miles without the tower loop -- it's about three miles down to the airport, then 15 around it, then back. C'mon out, it's a nice route!!!

Thanks for the link Paul. I'm already setting up routes for me on that site! Not sure if I'll make it out...have to see what happens Sunday...i have church stuff in the morn too, but we also have homegroups at night...may just come out to see/meet everyone, not sure yet. 24 miles on the first run with the CB may be much...

It looks like Bob and I will be able to make it today with the trikes. I'm glad it's a casual pace since I haven't been able to ride for a week because of work. >:(
Looking forward to meeting you all and getting our cool new jerseys in time for Plainview.
