Forecast calls for a hi of 87 degrees and 30% chance of rain this Sunday. So by my calculations there's a 70% chance of nice weather to ride in. Anyone want to hook up for a ride??

I'd like to ride Sunday. Depends on how much self control I exercise Saturday night

What do you have in mind?

Maybe the Ks Dakar, or the west lawrence loop.

I might be up for that. Dirt, gravel any of that asphalt stuff ? How far?

Dirt!! YES Gravel !!! YES!!! Slab as little as possible!!!

I'd say 150 miles or so in to 8-9 ish to early afternoon 2ish.

So, where abouts do you want to meet?

I live in Lawrence, Where abouts would be a good place to meet??

You pick the spot. I'll be coming in to Lawrence from the South, out of Olathe.

I'm gonna try to make this one. KCHusky is down the street from me and we could motor over to Lawrence to meet you. West loop would be great counter clockwise as I haven't ridden the Northern section yet.

KS Dakar would be fine too. I'm open.

I will try to join you boys. With the heat the way it is we should try to start very early. You guys from KC will have the longest ride to the start, so when can you get here? The Harm, unless you are gonna be smoking the roads you will average about 20/25 miles per hour counting stops , breaks, and a bite to eat. I will be on the KLX400.

lets try burger king just south of I 70 say 8:30 ish??? If we're gonna ride the west lawrence loop counter clockwise. I don't know if I'll be up for the enter loop but at least a good portion of it.

That will work for me. Looking forward to it . MesaLC4 you going to make it???? Anybody else going to jump in?

Yep, I'm planning on it. Burger King at 8:30 will work. KC...you and I will have to leave around 7:30 or so to make it by gravel. I'll give you a call Saturday.

I'm planning on making this one. I'll be on a KLX.

jsherm01, I have not heard from mesaLC4 yet. But, I'm sure you could meet up with us in Olathe in the morning and we could ride out to Lawrence as group.

I will be there with 1 or 2 other riders. I would suggest we change the ride slightly in a couple of spots. when we did this ride last time we ran into a lot of closed/torn down bridges. Last year we had lunch in St. Marys. I'm gearing up and exited for this one.

Sounds great, just let me know the location. Just finished taking off the motard wheels/fitting the dirt wheels and checking tool kit.

Will do..

Motar tires/wheels, I'm jealous . I hope to get a motar setup next spring.

This is going to be a great ride! Glad to see the group growing.

JSherm/KCHusky: we may want to take the Northern route to Lawrence from Bonner. JSHerm, we can meet you anywhere between Olathe and Bonner (see below) and then head West.



KCHusky: We can slab it to Bonner, or meet a little earlier and take some backroads.

Going North is ok. Where do you want to setup the meeting point at?
