Default EAA Ducati Group Ride, May 10th, Granbury, TX



On Saturday May 10th, the Experimental Aircraft Association are having their annual Fly-In with food and drink proceeds from the event going to charity. The show starts at 9:30am and ends at 4 in the afternoon. Here is a link to their flyer:

www.eaa983.org (click "Spring Fly-In Poster" at the top of the page for event details)



The Fly-In is at Pecan Plantation on Lake Granbury, a few miles southeast of Granbury. Here is the map to Pecan Plantation:




O.K., not really. Here is the non-aircraft version - you'll have to use the zoom-out feature :

The most direct way to get there would be to fly, or to just cruise straight south on 377 (past Cresson and Motorsports Ranch another 20 minutes or so). But there are several other scenic road possibilities that would be better for the ride to the Fly-In so I'd like to do a bit more research on that before posting the exact route. (Maybe someone with a good ride route down towards the Stephenville area can pipe up... eh-hem, Billy > ).

So, how about a group ride out to the Experimental Aircraft Association air show May 10th? It's the Saturday after LYD's BBQ [thumbsup]

Sounds good to me: group ride down to Granbury, aircraft, cigar meet in the afternoon @ ***'s place afterward, great day! [thumbsup]

I would suggest taking 1187 - 2331 - Hwy 4 - 1131 take a left at the bridge and then a left into Pecan Plantation. Very nice twisty roads. Caution lots of water trucks and some road construction (loose gravel). Everything should be very good until 1131. A month ago it was still undergoing resurface. It is a fun stretch of road, just take it slow. Once you guys get to Pecan stop at the security gate let them know you are there for the Fly-In. Follow the signs to get to the airport. Don't speed in Pecan they WILL give you a ticket. Sounds like a lot more trouble that it really is. See you guys there.
