[Houston] Wanted Co-Pilot / Mini-Scenic Drive 7/2/04

This coming Friday I am going to be off work and taking the early half of the day to explore some great twisties the Miata guys told me about just North of Houston.

I will be mapping the route that the club will be taking in a couple of weeks this day as well. I am inviting anyone who is willing to either tag-along in their own car or ride with me in the vert'. (obviously I only need one rider)

The weather reports are looking pretty good and this should be a great day to skip work and go for a drive. I will be getting a early start and will probably be in the Northside area by 8AM or earlier.

The co-pilot will need to take some notes, but I will buy your breakfast at our first stop. :D

If your interested email me directly at htxrx7@houston.rr.com or PM me here on the forum.

See you then!

Where in houston are you Meeting, driving, & how far will you be going. I will follow you; also have nav. If the weather will cooperate I will be able to give my car a good wash (it needs it).

290 and hwy 6. Where are there any good roads out there? I know of a couple up near Waller out there but all of the good ones that I know of are up near Lake Conroe off of I-45. There are some damn fun twisty, hilly roads out there.

yeah..

i love the FM 147 thru 150 roads myself in and out of the forest. The nthe backroads to Anderson are nice too...(heading towards Navasota)

I will probably drive about 100-140 miles or so (or until about noon whichever comes first) I intend to checkout a couple of the lcoal eateries and ensure they can handle 15-30 rotorheads and make sure there are gas-up places out along the way in case we need them.
