the sept. 26th run is going to be around 100 miles long. the meeting spot will be in dallas. ride for some food, the bbq spot we've picked out is awesome. then we'll ride to a break point that should draw alot of interest, that's where the awards will be presented. then a long ride back to the meeting spot for drinks.

like i said, this ride will be open to all makes of scooters. scoots must be able to do 40mph+. it's not going to be a race, we're going to keep speeds around 45mph.

and yes, even lambrettas are welcome. :P

bryan st. tavern DOES have good pizza. all their toppings come from Jimmy's, the italian deli down the street, and the mozzarella comes from the cheese factory in deep ellum. i'll be enjoying that establishment tomorrow night (7/24/09).
