We were somewhat successful in getting a decent non-squidly ride up here in lubbock, but I was going to see what everyone else had as far as ideas.

A ride from here to ruidoso, NM, or a big ride down into the hill country?

bajaraider · 11-20-2006, 09:04 AM

I'm up for anything!

**Freakinout** · 11-20-2006, 09:10 AM

We need to meet up and go riding anyway. Seeing as I think we only work like 1 mile away from each other.

10 Day Local Weather Forecast for Lubbock, TX (79413) - weather.com

Weather looks good. We should have a thanksgiving day ride or something this week. 75F wooo hooo!

bajaraider · 11-20-2006, 09:29 AM

ahh crap! I al leaving for Houston on Wednesday! Wanna do a quick ride before then? Only bad thing about that is I have a class at 6:30...

**Freakinout** · 11-20-2006, 09:43 AM

Maybe tomorrow, if its not as windy as they are predicting.

**87gsxrnut** · 11-20-2006, 12:46 PM

Lubbock? BAH! Ain't nothin' there . . .

- Nut

**Freakinout** · 11-20-2006, 01:07 PM

Nothin' but straight roads and dirt fields.

And college girls, but those are actually pretty fun.

bajaraider · 11-20-2006, 03:33 PM

Kyle do you want to try to head to Ruidosa or hill country for the ride days in the spring? If so then maybe we could meet up with Nut and all from San Antonio area, and maybe Don, Sunny and all the others from DFW area could meet up in the Hill Country.

**Freakinout** · 11-20-2006, 03:35 PM

Thats the idea, one of my buddies here wants to make a weekend of it. Trailer everything out, and really run the roads there.

Just need to pickup some perforated leathers for this

**drgibson** · 11-20-2006, 03:37 PM

I'm up for a Hill country ride.

Ron Benway · 11-20-2006, 05:34 PM

Anyone in the Plano area?? We just moved here during the summer and would love to learn where to go cruis'n. I have a Virago 250 so not too much highways please. Would love to ride with a group if I can keep up ...let me know.

Thanks,
Ron

blackie1491 · 11-20-2006, 06:21 PM

Any day that Don is up, is a good day. So says his wife.

**drgibson** · 11-20-2006, 06:35 PM

I'm on the other side of Dallas south side.

Uncle B · 11-20-2006, 09:06 PM

I am on Call starting 11/22-28/2006 no rides for me this weekend.

Ron Benway · 11-20-2006, 11:26 PM

Thats good to know that someone around here rides. Maybe sometimes we can meet and get a coffee. Not too many days left this year but looking at the Thanksgiving forecast I wonder. We are from Connecticut and you ride until october the latest unless you have some really cold weather gear. I love Texas I can ride all year round almost.

Thanks for answering,
Ron

bajaraider · 11-21-2006, 11:26 AM

for this Hill Country Expedition, are we shooting for the Official Ride days? What are those days, and if not what are we shooting for?

POE-BOY SAMICH · 11-21-2006, 04:08 PM

I'm in San Antonio.
I'm definitely down for a Hill Country ride WHENEVER!
My buddies and I are normally riding the Hill Country on weekends anyway.
I'd love the chance to meet some of the forum members in person!

**Freakinout** · 11-21-2006, 07:41 PM

Not sure what days the ride days are gonna be on yet.

Us lubbock folk can do a NM trip separate from a TX get together.

For a state wide deal, where would be a good central area for a couple of days of riding?

**drgibson** · 11-22-2006, 10:37 AM

I want to try to do Gatlinberg too, had a blast last year.
