If nothing else we can all meet for lunch Saturday afternoon - that we get together and get plans laid is critical!

Waaal, I know tha 'bents are supposed to be much more aerodynamicable, but riding the TTTT course in a 50 mph wind does NOT interest me... rain or no rain... Although it might be interesting going down Goatneck Hill!!!!!! Too bad we didn't arrange to go down there tonight, instead!

Additionally, the TxTough charity ride on Sunday has been postponed, to merge with Autumn In Bonham.

So, where/when should we get together for detailed discussions and plans, otherwise??? Conference Call?

Whatever day works, I'm cool with either saturday or sunday at whatever time

I think we should bag it -- sorry, Mark, I know you need to ride the course...

We still need to meet up for some planning - how about if we meet for dinner Sunday night at 6, somewhere centralized to the four of us, say around Macarthur and 635 or 114 and Northwest Hwy?

Or depending on the rain, possibly going down there Sunday night instead, for dinner and some night riding?????

Works for me, as far as the course goes I'll figure it out no matter what....I mean it's just another road right? Cheesy

I'll be there in the morning if anyone else wants to show and see what it looks like. Feel free to call me about 8 and I'll give a more accurate weather report.

I suspect I'll get 2-3 laps in before the weather gets real ugly. The further west we are, the less ugly the storm will be. Any spin-off Tornados are expected to be east of the storm, not west.

Brad showed up a little after 8, it started misting and we were debating about packing it all up but we went ahead and did a lap anyway. That's a fun course!
