There are several gas stations within a few blocks of Genuine Joe’s. No planned gas stops on ride.

RIDE DESCRIPTION:
This will be a 45-mile round-trip breakfast ride to Ramos Restaurant and Discoteca in Manor, Texas. They serve good, cheap Mexican food. (Sorry, they don’t have a website.) This will be a relaxed ride on mostly rural roads that aren’t in the best shape. We’ll have to dodge some potholes and cracks, but no gravel roads this time!

After a relaxing breakfast, we’ll get back to Austin by noon. Anyone still with us at that point can cool off with a treat from Las Delicious!

HELMETS REQUIRED!!!!!!!!!!!

ARRIVE WITH A FULL GAS TANK!!!!!!! No planned gas stops. Ride is only about 55 miles. My one-gallon Vino tank made it with gas to spare.

Don’t forget your camera and cowboy hat (or any other fun cowboy prop)!!!!

We’ll meet at Paco’s Tacos http://www.yelp.com/biz/pacos-tacos-austin for coffee, tea, juice, whatever. Then we’ll take a fairly short ride to “downtown” Manor for a late breakfast at Ramos Restaurant & Discoteca (no website — good Mexican food). Take an indirect, country-roads route to the J. Lorraine Ghost Town for pictures, fun, hanging out, a Klondike Bar, whatever. http://www.ghosttownaustin.com/ Then back to Austin.

Of course, it all depends on how long we stay at the Ghost Town, but I think we’ll be back in Austin by 3:00.

BE THERE!
