And I dont want to take anyone down horrible roads..which is why all of this is just a big feeler for the most fun/comfortable cruise.

Cool, cool. So it's a for sure thing on the 15th? If so, what time do you wanna start?

[Spider77]

Id say I want to be rolling around 10-1030 the latest...possibly earlier as the heat has been a major factor recently.

so maybe 9-9:30?

[Spider77]

Yeah, that sounds about right. Start the cruise at 930..should be done by 1130, and if anyone wants to meet up in White Settlement at 1130, thatd be cool too.

Alright. I just gotta let my buddy with the MR2 know. Hey says he might wanna work later in the day. But 11:30 should be fine for him. Keep me posted!

[Spider77]

I'll post more info monday

[Spider77]

Sorry, I was real busy (to say the least on monday), Tomorrow I am going up towards denton, so I'll hit up the road and post back! And if there is a modification to the route, I will totally post.

[Spider77]

Ok, since I did not have a chnace to check out Upper Denton Rd, and I dont want to take anyone down a road I havent been on before (did that before, and it tends to wind up being a long day) I changed the route. Pretty much the same though
Meet up at Benbrook YMCA
Make part of run through Aledo/Bankhead, then hop on 20 for a sec
Cruise back to Aledo through Old Airport Road/FM 5 South.
Stop at Sonic to chill before departing.

Meeting up at 930-945
Should Arrive at Sonic around 11-1130 (ish)

[HectortheRican]

Will it just be you, me, and my MR2 buddy, or will Hazmat be able to make it?

[Spider77]

I dunno, i'll txt him.

[HectortheRican]

Cool stuff man.

[Hazmat]

I get my schedule tomorrow so hopefully I'll have it off. I'll post back here for sure though.

Edit: I am going to miss again due to work. Hopefully I'll have another opportunity another time. Enjoy the cruise guys

Tomorrow! Hazmat, just try to make that TX meet, it'll make up for all the ones you couldn't take part in!

Indeed, I do need to make that one and once a set date is announced, I will plan in advance and ask for days off. Anyway, I got this upcoming Tuesday-Thursday off if you guys want to do a mini get together or something? Early or afternoon would probably be best but whatever comes along I should be free one of those days.

[HectortheRican]

Again, I'm really sorry I couldn't make it. I still feel sick to my stomach man

[Spider77]

Yeah, dont worry guys. Thats why I do cruises now as opposed to meets. Lets say you get all this stuff together for a meet, and last minute everyone cant make it, well that kind of sucks. On a cruise though if no one can make it, thats alright because a solo cruise isnt all that bad either.
So, I decided to make FM 5 South my regular route. I like it because there are two lanes, the posted speed limit isn't too low, and honestly, its the best around this area. The "meat" of the run is about 18 miles (thats 9, small loop, 9 back).
Aledo seems like a good place to get a group to show up, its off off of 20 (but if your like me, you'll wind up taking a more enjoyable drive out there). The run also allows for further branching out on the way home (or to there). Myself, it takes about 30 minutes to get to Aledo from where I live, so all in all it'll be about an hour and half on the road. Which isnt too bad.
When I find a good place to meet up at in Aledo and have a date set, I'll post the info and maybe some of you guys who have nothing better to do on a Sunday morning can join me in a little cruise.
I'll post more info in the coming week!

[Spider77]

Hey guys, Ive got nothing going on this Sunday. So after a quick tune up im going to run FM5S, I'll try to take vids and post em up. As it stands I have some guys from DI interested in going, so the future events may be a mixed lot. But I would love for fellow 6GC'rs to participate!
Edit.............I'll probably be making this run around 930 in the morning. If you want to go, txt or PM me, but those who have my digits, text me!
