Hey gang, EarlWB and I are tagging up a "Babe's Chicken Dinner House Ride" (BCDH) for Saturday, September 19th. The location is Address: 104 North Oak Roanoke, Texas 76262 tel. (817) 491-2900  babeschicken.com/The plan is to have different starting points based on the locations in DFW and have people group up along the way. The endpoint (Babes) will be at 11am. So, we will have to map out the starting points and try to give the best time estimate. This ride is open to all scooters...yes, even the classic scoots can come too!  If you "think" you can join in, reply with your general location so we can tag the starting points and figure how to tie them together. More info to come. I'll update this particular top post as more concrete plans happen. |

There will be 4 hookup points. All of them being Starbucks! The starting points are in the 4 quadrants of DFW. They will all end up at the NorthWest Point where we will all ride into Roanoke from there. I took the Google travel time and padded it by about 15 minutes or so. Departure times will be absolute or it throws the ride time off-so be there ready to go by the time noted. I've tagged non-highway routes and they are posted below.
EarlWB will be the NorthWest Point Captain. I'll be the NorthEast Point Captain.
What I need is a "Point Captain" for the SouthEast and SouthWest locations. Volunteers can post here.
