Action Lad Five Star Member rbent member Posts: 1570	The Ride of Silence May 10^th, 2012, 7:41pm Next Wednesday, May 16, at 7 p.m. worldwide. I am going to the one at White Rock Lake, as always. How many in rbent will represent? We've certainly had our share of accidents in the area for impetus.

The irony is while I work about 5 minutes from WRL, Wed. is one of the days my wife has therapy. I'll have to drive back to Allen, pick her up at 6:00PM and get her home in McKinney before I can come out.

Don't know - I guess Sunset Bay if it isn't too crowded. Any better/other suggestions? Last year I had a dental appointment so I parked at the top of the WRCT and rode down.

I'll be parking in the lot west of the boat houses (across the bay) at Tee Pee Hill. It's fairly close to the ride start.

I might meet up with you and ride down as I will need to pick my packet up for WildRide at RBM.

I will be parking in my usual place, across from where Jay tends alights...if I can find it...gee, it's been ages since I have been to WRL. I will be starting out from work at 4:15 p.m., so it shouldn't be that long. I'd like to get there as early as possible to get some sort of pre-Ride ride in. Maybe it would be a good idea to have all our phone numbers listed here so as we arrive, we could announce to each other, and coordinate. Mine is 214-592-6058, or just shine a huge "A/L" against a cloud to get me, like the mayor does. (tee, hee).

If you arrive by 6:00, there will probably be some slots available in the Tee Pee Hill parking lots. I'm going to park in the lot across the bay from Tee Pee Hill. Tee Pee Hill is close to the Ride's starting/finishing point.

TP Hill is on the west side by the boat house if my map is correct. I may go out to WRL for a ride on Sunday afternoon after I get some chores done.

I committed to the overtime before I knew which date it was, and anyway I really need the $. Hope you all have a good time at the Ride. Well, school is nearly over, and I'll have time to do all the riding my poor legs can stand...which is quite a bit now, with all the practice.
