Tour de Pepper (Read 1158 times)

Rawhide rbent member Posts: 356	Tour de Pepper Jun 8^th, 2010, 9:44pm I'll be heading to Dublin Friday afternoon for this ride on Saturday. Supposed to be all the Dr. Pepper you can drink after. That's not the reason for going, I've just been wanting to tour the Dr. Pepper plant. Will be camping out at some park in town. DJ

I think I'll put it on the calendar for next year. Being a native Texan - I love Dr. Pepper!!! I gotta ride here and in Brenham.

Dublin is a rather quaint town. When I registered and paid for the campsite (I had phoned earlier in the week indicating we wold be tent camping) the folks in the city office filled out a lime-green parking permit for placement in my car. The top line says:

RV SPACE #_______________________ the gal put a diagonal line across the open space and wrote in "tint"

I was surprised at the fair showing of bents. Met one couple from Lafayette, La who were riding a Volae and a Gold Rush equipped with a Bionix hub. Another couple there each had a Gold Rush.

Dublin Dr. Pepper is my all time favorite soda, so I was torn between this ride and the Collin Classic. Did CC, because it's closer to Dallas.

That was pretty much my deciding factor as well.
