View Full Version : KawaNOW TX MCH-March 1st-Palestine, TX-11:30am
I'm kind of getting in the mood to try another MCH (Meet Cha Halfway) ride for the KawaNOW Texas members (and anyone else that wants to come).
Maybe this time the weather won't make us cancel.
BT? lw? SWB? What do you guys think? Let's start planning a date and place.
Sounds good to me.
I'm already committed to CHL class on Feb 23rd.
March 1st would work, after that I'm not off on a Saturday again til the 22nd. If the 15th works best for the group I could try to arrange a shift swap. Since I worked Superbowl Sunday night for another guy so he could enjoy the game I have a marker I could probably call in.

Good luck.

Lazy Texans? Easy there pard'. I aint seen any of you left-coasters signing up for the Central rally. LOL!
Were the West & Central not scheduled so close together I might have been able to come out, and brought along a buddy ( Beemer rider but I dont hold that against him) who lives in Lake Elsinore.

Know what you mean, lw.....I was thinking about planning a trip out West for the rally, but it's date-wise just too close to the Central rally. I also eyed the East rally, but it's going to be too far for me this year.
So lw...March 1st OK with you? What about everybody else?

As I said earlier, I'll meet up with the folks from OK so we can all ride down together.
Sounds good SWB........Since we have two Nomads coming from Oklahoma, I took another look at the map and feel it might be best to change our meeting place.
What would you guys think about Palestine? I know of a good Mexican food restaurant there that we could meet at for lunch. This would mean less miles for the OK guys to travel to get there, it would mean about 170 miles for the Houston delegation to ride and about the same for the Austin area guys. 170 miles would take you guys about 3 hours to ride.
The OK guys could meet SWB and me in the Emory/Canton area and we could all ride down together. Palestine would also make it a shorter trip for anyone coming from Lousiana.
What do ya'll think?

Palestine is ok with me. Would give those of us from the concrete jungle some piney woods riding.
I'm with ya Matt. Safety in numbers and all.

Richmond/Katy group meeting @ Academy at I10 and the Grand parkway at 06:30am and going Fry Rd to Clay to the Beltway to 59 North.
Meet up with Pasadena group at the Shell Station at 1960A and 59 Southeast corner at 08:00
Meet up with Kevin and Miss Marla at Fm242 and Hwy 59 at the flying J truck stop around 08:20

the weather guesser shows a small percent chance on Sat. so far a few showers won't hurt anyone. Just ask Groundhog and Trip about riding in the heavy stuff (tropical storm) on our ride to Abilene,TX.
If the forecast stays at a small chance of showers for Saturday, I think we'll say the gathering is ON. The only thing I would think would kill it is if the forecast changes to reflect a 60% or more chance of rain with cold temps or something.
Just my 2 centavos worth.

As of this morning, it's a 30% chance of thunderstorms all the way up from Houston. Highest temp is 71, lowest is 53, I can live with that - off to Academy to pick up some Frogg Toggs...I'm in unless it changes drastically
Let's do a final head count Friday
Here it is Wednesday evening and after watching the weather the past several days, it still is showing a high of 68 degrees Saturday with cloudy skies and a slight chance of rain.
As far as I'm concerned, the MCH is still a go unless the weather forecast changes drastically for the worse between now and Friday night.
So, we're still a GO for Saturday in Palestine, Texas at Little Mexico.

SWB,
Meet me in Canton, TX at the Dairy Palace, located just behind the Chevron station at the corner of I-20 and Hwy 19, at about 10am Saturday morning. It will take us about an hour to ride 19 all the way to Palestine. By the time we meet and get on the road, we'll arrive about 11:30am in Palestine.
Trip
As mikesth stated.....the weather forecast has changed for Saturday. Now, it's calling for just partly cloudy and no rain with a high of 75. It's calling for the same forecast from Houston all the way up North......
So..... KawaNOW Texas MCH I is a GO!
See you guys in Palestine at about 11:30am at the Little Mexico restaurant.

I think Julie and I can make it. We will probably go straight up Hwy 19 from Huntsville to Palestine. It's about a 2 hr ride. Anyway, we'll see you about 11:45 ish.

But, I won't be sitting in my room making vrooom, vrooom noises and doing wheelies with the mouse. http://s2.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif
