Angie and I will be there, but instead of HPV, we'll be on my Gold Wing. I asked her what she wanted to do this weekend, and she asked for a long motorcycle ride. I suggested we ride near my Spanish Fort RUSA Permanent, and she got all giddy. Anyone who can ride the Muenster 100k, can certainly ride my 220k. Same hills, just more of em'.

We'll ride it in reverse, and will be on the lookout for bents.

Ray , always good to see you. Peggy & I haven't see Angie since last year's RBENT ride you lead in Flower Mound. Do you require a a first born child ,1st moth mortgage payment ,large amount of CASH ,& a hard copy insurance waiver 1 month prior to riding of your Spanish Fort route??

Steve,

Just give me a date/time that you want to ride Spanish Fort, and I'll send you the documents. Personally, I won't be able to ride it until early June. I'm tied up on (I believe) on most weekends in May, though I do plan on riding the Mineral Wells Perm on the 24 as I love climbing the infamous "cherry pie hill".

Nelson, how much climbing do you do at Mineral Wells, aside from CP hill? I was thinking that might be my best opportunity before fall to try a 300k.

Hi Greg,

I'm not sure about the Mineral Wells 300K route, but the the 200K was an out and back last year and the climbing is considerable. I've done the 400K and 600K and they are some of the hilliest rides available to us. Cherry Pie is interesting to say the least on a hot afternoon at the 350 mile point of a 375 mile ride. I went home and changed my cassette from 12-28 to 11-34 after that one.

Take Care,
Nelson.

Angie will be holding on to me tight, as we fly through them there twisty turns and hills on our new Honda Gold Wing. The color, of course, if titanium. Hopefully we'll see you all, and depending on the timing, we'll try to be at Muenster for the 11am (ouch) start.

Make us proud, and do some two handed spankin', especially if those Moritz "boyz" show.
