Thanks for the welcome. Yeah I just got a 6R about three weeks ago, quite an upgrade from my Honda Hawk GT.

Anyone from North Texas up for a nice country ride this weekend?? Preferably on Saturday....

Once I find it I can post the route for a ride I went on not too long ago. It starts in Denton (where I live) and heads out to around the Sherman area. I was surprised but there are actually some decent roads between here and there. Unfortunately the weather is supposed to be wet (again) this weekend. :-(

EDIT:
I sure wouldn't mind getting together for a ride once the weather clears up and meet some of y'all (hey it is Texas!).

I know.... This N. TX. weather is really suckin'...!!!!!

Well crapola! For the life of me I cannot find the piece of paper with the route I mentioned. That sucks. I may be able to get a copy from the cycle shop here in town that organized the ride. But if you saw my office (the mess) you might understand!
:-(

Hah! I found it. The route was still in my inside jacket pocket. Anyhow here it is...

Starting in Denton:

FM428 thru Aubrey to FM1385 (turn right) 1/2 mile
FM1385 to FM428 again (turn left)
FM428 to FM455 to Celina

Hwy5 north (turn left) 1/2 mile to FM2862 (turn right)
FM2862 to Westminster (FM533)
FM533 turn left to FM3133 (north-west)
FM3133 to Hwy5 again, Van Alstyne

Howe was the destination. We had lunch at a place called Finn's. Good catfish!

Return route:
