The work Gods have decreed that I have to go to Austin tomorrow to deliver some equipment and check it out, so odds are good that I WON'T be able to join you in Celina Saturday morning... I'll do what I can to get back with enough sleep to make it... but if not, enjoy.... Paul

C'mon bud, your "wheezing group" is a 19.5 mph avg. I just drove the route. All roads are open(from the flodding) and in good shape. 8:00am ride time from the square in Celina. Great scenery. A lot of horse farms in/around Pilot Point & Aubrey area. Some of this route was also in the Denton Power Rally ride held in October.

Lucy's(cafe-on the square)afterwards. Now, if the weather will cooperate,will be good to go.

-Steve

P.S.
Paul,glad to hear you'll be joining us. In your honor,I've added a 14 mile out/back from Pilot Point to the Marina on Lake Ray Roberts. Total ride distance-63 miles.

What kind of head count are we expecting for tomorrow's ride? How many route maps should I print??

Isn't there some biblical line about "...where two or more are gathered..." ? Thanks for the route extension, Steve! And as for dogs, I'll have my trusty coach's whistle... I highly recommend them...

Sorry guys, but I'm gonna wimp out on the Celina ride. Haven't done a ride this year over 38 miles that I didn't start getting big-time cramps. Hoped I'd be up to speed by the time this rolled around but just haven't been able to get it together with all the rain.
I'll be at the Peach Pedal next weekend. Hope I'll meet some of you there.
Enjoy the ride tomorrow. I hear it's a great route.

Yep,& I think Celina MAY even have running water. You'll be able to see tomorrow. Now Tioga,that's a town with a different story.

I would recommend you just take Preston rd(from 121). Turn left(North) on Preston road for 12-15 miles until you come to Celina. Turn left on FM-455 to the town square.

You're telling me these past three years of radio news stories about some new part of 121 becoming a toll road were false?
