RBENT gathering Sat Aug 4 - 8AM Rollout
Jul 8^th, 2012, 4:49pm

NOTE: Sat Aug 4, RIDE STARTS AT BICYCLES PLUS, MACARTHUR AND BELT LINE, 8AM rollout -- see post further down for details.

**************************

RIDE IS SCHEDULED, DETAILS TO FOLLOW -- PB 7/13

I'm contemplating an RBENT gathering for Saturday August 4th, for a special purpose... but need to check some things first. Kindly hold that morning open on your schedules for a bit... Probably looking at a 7:30 (yawn) rollout, to beat the heat a bit... followed by a brunch.

RBENT gathering Sat Aug 4 - hold date
Reply #10 - Jul 13^th, 2012, 7:59pm

OK -- the date is ON... but the route and location aren't set quite yet. What this IS, is an RBENT group gathering to actually honor Steve (and Peggy) Petty on being crazy enough to do the RAAM event... Undoubtedly the first local RBENT representatives (apart from Sandy Earl, of course, but she's not local!) to attempt this particular bit of cycling lunacy -- and yes, John Schlitter is an honorary RBENTer, but he isn't local, either! I had to check with Steve and Peggy to see if they could MAKE it that day, natcherally!!!!

The concept for the gathering is to do a morning ride (of a couple different speeds and distances), then go eat somewhere, where Steve and Peggy will regale us with tales of their RAAM experience, good, bad, or ugly. I'm thinking that we'll meet somewhere Coppell / DFW Airport area and do a ride, but I'm having a hard time finding a place to go afterwards that serves an affordable breakfast/brunch that can seat a group...

SO -- give me a few more days to make this more concrete, but please make plans to attend, Sat Aug 4, for a 7:30AM rollout -- yeah, it's early, but I want to beat the (potential) heat!!! There is no "rain date" scheduled at the moment...

If there is a beginner route, I'll talk Kim into it somehow. It's all about leaving the kids for such a long time with no quick easy way back if something happens...I'll work on a kid watcher!
