I will be doing it again here the next couple of weekends. Anyone is welcome to tag along. I was going to do a cruise GTG, but getting this group together is just too much of a PITA if it doesn't involve drinking or a stop at the doggy park.

2. Turn right on E University Dr
3. Turn left onto Farm Market Rd 1827 N New Hope Rd

11. Turn right out of grass lot onto Tx-78
12. Take first right onto 981
13. Turn left onto US-69
14. Pull into gas station for refueling break
15 Turn left out of gas station back onto US-69
16. Turn right to stay on US-69
17. Turn left onto 697
18. Turn left to stay on 697
19. Continue onto E Ida Rd
