"Members Only" Bonus Listing


Pasta Lunch Social/Ride for 2009

Saturday, May 30th


This is not a race and please don't make it one. It is just intended to offer a variation in some riding fun. So just take your time and enjoy your morning ride while achieving a few points within your abilities and desires.

Stony Point Cemetery (1 Point) (The link to the Mapsource file for all the points are at the bottom of this page.)
There are not many hills in our local area, but this bonus location takes you right past one of the largest mountains in North Texas. Take SH 121 east from 75 through Melissa. Only 2.6 miles from 75 you should turn right on 545. You have 4.5 miles to the next turn so kick back and enjoy the twisties and a sensory high. Your next surprise is that the right turn on CR 1095 is not paved. Relax, the next two-hundred yard is light training for that GS you've always wanted. The country cemetery and quaint old wooden church promises peace to everyone that comes.
(Sometimes known as Altoga Cemetery and not too far from the Valdasta Feedlot)

Clark was beaten by one vote in the Spring 2005 election, and only six months later the town was officially renamed DISH in exchange for every household receiving a free DVR and free basic satellite service for ten years. At the council meeting when the measure was passed, only 12 people reportedly showed up. [RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 04/15/2007]
