RAA West-cursing the Texas Heat

Palo Duro is a lot less visited hence less cages.
 
Keep in mind we are all aging. Not very many young folks do what we do anymore and we will continue to thin out as time marches on. I am feeling the pain of too many years in construction and my limbs are revolting against my brain.
 
Please keep us in mind -- Wei and I would like to go with you.
Too Texas ???? That's a haul and I would avoid the super slabs also so it would be a couple days ride just to get to Tyler or near there. Route 66 runs helter skelter between old sections and 4 lane sections. Not sure when tornado season is over either. Hail balls hurt. I'll have to ask our Texas and Okie family members for seasonal advice. I also just stop and stay someplace with broken neon and a greasy spoon either built in or next door. You know how I roll. The Saturday in Kentucky I had already loaded my bike and was out riding before 6 AM waiting for breakfast to open up.Had there been no scheduled breakfast I would have been many miles away.

Sounds like a great adventure, the best time to ride Texas and Oklahoma is in the fall between september and november, may and june still doable but risk getting wet

I ride with Rainman and unless lightning is striking the guardrail next to me I fear not. The lightning and hail thing has happened a few times. October into November temps look good but the panhandle weather can be very wierd.
 
Tornaders are not really a big worry on the stretch you’re going. More hail in spring than fall. Lupes right. Sept, Oct, Nov will be a little colder getting into Amarillo area.
Let’s make this happen brother!
