Title: August 31 Post by kenbent6 on Aug 8th, 2013, 4:08pm That is the date for the FUN RIDE to Lancaster air port fly in, car show, food and maybe ice cream. Details later. Remember a FUN RIDE is classed as 12 MPH or less.. [smiley=deadhorsebeat.gif] |

Title: Re: August 31 Post by TonyWard on Aug 8th, 2013, 6:49pm It is on my calendar...... but I'm a bit concerned about the uncertainty of ice cream [smiley=shrug.gif] |

I'm actually "highly concerned" about the uncertainty of ice cream. :D |

Will there be an option to ride at 24 mph through the "Valley of the Dogs", and then wait for the 12 mph riders with the dog teeth punctures in their legs? :D |

No one has ever been bitten. I'll never forget that big pack of Chihuahuas that came running from a house, growling and barking, but never making it to the road. They wanted us real bad, but just didn't have the endurance. Cracked me up. :D |

Title: Re: August 31 Post by Tiger_Mike on Aug 8th, 2013, 7:27pm Is it that time again already? I'm in! Just remember - you dont have to be faster than the dogs, just faster than the slowest rider [smiley=evil.gif] Are we gonna see Cookie on this ride? |

Title: Re: August 31 Post by JimFPU on Aug 8th, 2013, 7:33pm This was a fun ride last year! Too bad I'll miss out this time. There was a great deal of surrey talk last year, and at least one example was out. There were a couple of speed sprints as well, but over all stayed together as a group and had a real good time...even though we had to go out of the way for the Texas Stop Sign, it wasn't that bad. Go if you can! |

Title: Re: August 31 Post by Mizta_Nice on Aug 9th, 2013, 5:45am Dogs? I don't do dogs. Who was it that brought the bear spray on a ride? Might need some if I'm gonna ride this. |

Don't let my comments about dogs discourage you from doing this ride. I probably shouldn't have made them. It's kind of an inside joke between Kenny and a few of us about the rides he organizes. Most of the dogs we have encountered on the ride are behind fences. If we do happen to encounter any aggressive, loose ones, they are repelled by the Airzound horns and spray a few of us are packing. No one has ever been bitten. We always have a lot of fun on this ride. A great opportunity to get up close and personal with old piston engine aircraft and classic cars, and if we're lucky, some awesome home made vanilla ice cream. If we miss the ice cream, we can always stop for root beer floats at DQ on the way back. Oh, and the barbecue sandwiches sold in the big hanger at the airport are pretty good, too. |

I'm more scared of my fellow riders then the dogs. But seriously - don't let that stop you. Last time I rode with Kenny to the airport I was disappointed in how few dogs we ran across. The ride didn't seem to live up to my expectations. |

Title: Re: August 31 Post by rmillay on Aug 9th, 2013, 3:10pm Trouble is, that's BikeMart trike Saturday. Not that I couldn't ride my trike, but I'd hate for no one to show for that! |

Bob, if a number of us RBM trike ride regulars plan to do Kenny's ride (I do), maybe we could E-mail Joel Hernandez and let him know of the conflict and our intentions to not give up on his RBM ride. |

Title: Re: August 31 Post by Cookie on Aug 9th, 2013, 6:50pm You can count me in again. 12 mpr sounds good to me. Got air horn for dogies. Jerry |

Title: Re: August 31 Post by Sweeper on Aug 9th, 2013, 7:16pm Kenny, if ;D I have my new bike by then, I may not be able to hold it to 12 mph. These racing machines want to go Faaaaaaaaaaasst. (lol) |

Title: Re: August 31 Post by kenbent6 on Aug 9th, 2013, 9:40pm I have had a couple fast bikes before, but I could NOT get them to go fast, must have been the tires!!! [smiley=deadhorsebeat.gif] |

Title: Re: August 31 Post by Sweeper on Aug 10th, 2013, 6:06am No, it was the wheels, remember!! |

Title: Re: August 31 Post by kenbent6 on Aug 10th, 2013, 11:58am It's 6:00 am, go back to bed!!! |

Last year, and the year before, we met at the Northwest corner of the Robinwood Baptist Church parking lot (111 E. Stark Rd. Seagoville, TX 75159), and rolled out at 8:00 AM. I'm sure Kenny will confirm this later. Kenny, we arrived too early last year. What about leaving later, so maybe we will still be there when the ice cream arrives in the early afternoon? |

Title: Re: August 31 Post by rmillay on Aug 12th, 2013, 6:00pm I ride the trike on this ride, since I don't have to race anyone, and it's a pleasant alternative. Plus, you can look the terrible chihuahuas in the eye! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] |

Will wait and see what Kenny publishes as the "official ride" but I estimate this will make the ride and the ride to the ride approximately 100k. Let me know if anyone else is interested in this as well. |

Title: Re: August 31 Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Aug 19th, 2013, 10:10am OK, count Terrie and me in for the tandem... from Seagoville, not Mesquite... Paul |
