Ride to East Texas Saturday 9/24

Post date: Sep 19, 2011 2:42:24 PM

Hey Folks,

We have talked about this ride that Jim McCullin wanted to put together for us for the past couple of months. And ealier this month the final details came into place.

So here they are:

This Saturday at 9:00AM we will depart from the back parking lot of the Wylie McDonalds. We will take a familiar route and ride 86 miles to Jim & Val McCullin's home just north of Mineola, arriving there around 11:00. After a short break and visit, we will ride a short distance into Mineola and have lunch at the East Texas Burger Company.

Once everyone is finished with lunch we will take a short scenic ride to Gilmer and back up through Winnsboro for 88 miles to a point just south of Sulphur Springs. Here we will have a couple of options of how you want to continue back to Dallas, etc. Most of us will head west through Lone Oak to I-30 to Caddo Mills to get back.

We need a head count for Jim to get to the Burger Company, so if you will respond to this post that you ARE coming, we can get this for him.

It's going to be nice sunny day Saturday with the high temperature at 86, so it should be a great day for a ride.

So who want to go riding this Saturday?

Rick
