looks like the hand off to the Houston area bunch will be April 20th.  How far do you guys want to run north for the meet up?

Hey Coke - we have two Dallas area riders, is that a better option for you?

let me see what Taxi and Zeek and RoachCarver think.. but how about that 20th date.  will that work for either group?

Yes, I think we can make the 20th date work for a handoff in Hou or Dal
(although some of us will be at MotoGP in Austin that weekend)

Then we could schedule the TX Hill Country portion of the Rally for either April 19-21 or May 3-5.

TX riders - what sounds good to you?

I can probably meet up on the 20th for the hand-off.

That would probably be better for TaxiScooter ... he wouldn't be on the road as long

Are you bringing it all the way down to the TX border? Last time, I met Coke in Denison, right at the border. Is that a good spot for you?  Or we could meet over by 35? I don't know which way you are coming, so it's whatever.

That TX rest stop would be good, but it might be better to go into Dennison or Sherman so we can get a bite to eat if the timing is right!

DFW riders - Joe, Gordon and Rick(?).  Does May 3-5th work for you for the Hill Country portion of the Rally?  Just heard from Chris and that is the best weekend for them.

Tom & George - does that work for you guys?

Since we won't be meeting up in Texas until the first of May, you can sure take your time.  Le me know when and where you wanna meet and I will make it happen, one way or another...

Hey George -  the campground I suggest is in Lago Vista on the N Shore of Lake Travis.
It's a private campground that shouldn't be crowded and has electric/toilets/showers.
We stayed there the last two years on the Rally, the guys seemed to like it and we've had a great time.
If that sounds good to all, I will make a reservation for a couple sites.

That sounds great, in fact I for sure want to be there Fri and Sat nights. Unless you are privy to a special rate I'll call and reserve one for my truck and trailer. Wish I could ride from Houston to Austin but physically can't right now, but really look forward to some action on the roads up there.
