I had a blast, and I think I silenced some of the anti-AT crowd too

I know one issue was the bikes and I started thinking that maybe if we do it at a colder point when it's less enjoyable for a bike to be out, we may have better luck.

Here are the pictures I promised earlier. If anyone would like a larger version, shoot me a pm with an email and I'll send em your way.

Enjoy.


DFW group on the way down


Waiting for a few straglers for dinner


At dinner we picked up to random bikers (the willie nelson road crew lookin guys)


There are actually 5 more people in this picture that you can't see. Talk about a great room rate!


The day started overcast as we waited for everyone to eat

Open sky and open road...


Pausing at 41 so everyone can catch up and the lexus can fix his exhaust


Word about the turbo's breakdown came in and we pulled off


These motofackers loved driving very, very, very slow.


The best shot of the bunch by far in my opinion (and no, I didn't take it)...

We pulled into Medina just in time to get some apple ice cream, damn that was good stuff


Down by the river, that parking lot was a little rough


And a parting shot...

alright alright.... why does everyone have to point out I missed the first turn?.... i was driving along, saw the sign and it was too late to turn oh well


I WAS A BLAST!!!!!

I am down for doing this twice a year, i agree with the suggestion of doing it in a colder time when bikes should not be such a problem. I would say late February or early March would be a great time to return. The warmer the weather, the more bikes will be on the road.

Not trying to hate about the turn promise, I was just trying to highlight the fact that on the next run the leader have a navigator present. I know being in the first group that none of us were fracking around. There were several points were trying to navigate and handle a radio would have be overally dangerous while trying to drive. Luckily there werent too many spots that forced us to take a right or a left due to a stop sign etc. Having a second pair of eyes up front helps alot as the lead car can warn the rest of bad turns.
