West side meet for the Big Group Picture.

[Dos Equis]

Best regards Team:

If anyone in the West side (Katy) is interested in riding together for this event. I'll will be at the SAM's Club (Gas station in front of Wafle House) located at I-10 and HWY 6 around 5:15 and leaving at 5:30.

I'm planning to take the I-10 HOV lane in the entrance at HWY-6 and then I-10 to exit 767-B, turn right (south) on Taylor St. that changes to Sawyer St and merges with Memorial Dr just one block from Sabine St.

The red ball marks the g-spot...oopppsss ....I mean the spot..... :keke:

If you want to map it, this is the address:

Sabine St. Lofts Apartments
150 Sabine St
Houston, TX 77007

The picture shooting will be in the bridge next to the Apartments.

Not at all. Just to clarify this issue. From the METRO web site: http://www.ridemetro.org/services/hovsystem.asp


Use of HOV Network
METRO's HOV network is open to buses, vanpools, carpools and motorcycles. Simply observe the occupancy requirements, rules of the road and hours of operation.

[PORSCHITO]

[chasee69]

as long as you're in the Sam's parking lot you should grab a bite to eat at Brothers Pizza. This place has real new york pizza, the good stuff! check it out if you haven't been.

[chasee69]

Good catch...!!!! Thanks for the heads up :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:

I guess we will use I-10 mainlanes or if anyone agrees to an alternate route like Westheimer or Briar Forest/San Felipe that will be also OK.

We can go to PP and from there to the meeting point via Memorial Dr and exit on Sabine St.

[arturo3rd]

what time are you guys going to be at PP? 6pm?

[Dos Equis]

you guys making a pit stop at PP?

we dont know how to get there :eh:


If most of the guys agree about that, we will stop at PP, anyway from PP just go to Memorial Dr and go East all the way to the Sabine St. exit.

All right. I'll try to be at the SAM's around 5:15 and leaving at 5:30 to PP. Traffic on I-10 is always bad. What route are you planning to take..??

[Lobo]

see y'all at PP @ 6:00 :)

[Dos Equis]

OK. I'm logging out and getting ready to leave.

[Dos Equis]

Well....well...well......It was a great turn out...!!! I arrived at SAM's club around 5:10PM and nobody was there....!!!! :dontknow:

Around 5:20PM Chase a.k.a. 'chasee69' arrived (nice Gixxer by the way) and at 5:30PM we take off, the traffic in I-10 was slow so we decided to take Briar Forest/San Felipe all the way to PP, The pace was slow and very few traffic. We arrived to PP around 6:05.

A rain suit will allow you to stay a little dry. It did rain a little in my area but no big deal...I was planning to go rain or shine...... :biggthumpup:

Unfortunately race slicks do not work well in the rain. I was pretty much forced not to risk it. :sad:
