one more 200k before year's end?
Dec 26^th, 2008, 5:37pm

Being a teacher and all, I'm hoping to make use of this next week off and maybe squeeze in one more 200k before I give up on mileage for 2008. I'm already 1500 ahead ofwjere I was last year and thought I'd be this year, that I just feel like riding. Don't have a specirfic jaunt planned, but is anyone interested? I'm thinking Tuesday the 30th.

Paul ,the GP2CLE is a Bill Fox route. All of his routes are closed for the remainder of the year. Besides,there are sections of this route that a H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E(due to the Barnett Shale drilling). Bud & Greg could elaborate more on how bad this route is.

We rode this route in April, I quickly scratched this route off of my "to do" list. Mark ,you did receive credit for this 200K.

Greg ,this is a good route. Nelson,Steve,& I rode this route earlier this month. Be careful of of the section of "boulder seal" from Celeste to Wolfe City(13 miles) & on the return of this section(Wolfe City to Celeste). As you get closer to Wolfe City from Celeste(about 3 miles) & as you leave Wolfe City,the chip seal is loose.

Be safe & enjoy the ride.

Anyone else? Sounds good to me, I haven't done it since last year. When's the rollout?
