Four of us have a three day hill country / west Texas adventure ride planned over Easter weekend. Leaving from Austin on Friday morning, April 14th, we will spend 3 days riding paved and unpaved roads between Austin and Langtry, TX, returning to Austin on Sunday, April 16th. Friday and Saturday nights will be spent in a hotel in Sonora, TX. I have 2 rooms already reserved at the hotel. (The hotel is cheap. I haven't seen it and am not expecting much from it.)
We haven't ridden most of the dual sport roads that are on our planned route, which should make for some fun exploration.
3 of us are riding KLRs. We aren't aggressive or fast riders, but we do maintain a steady pace without a lot of stops.
Unfortunately, our 4th rider just called me to tell me he has had a catastrophic failure of his rear shock. It won't be repaired for 2 weeks.
So, now we are looking for a 4th rider to go with us. You will need a dual sport capable bike prepared for 3 fairly long days in the saddle (300 miles or so each day is my estimate) and fairly long distances between fuel stops. Knowing my luck we will likely encounter multiple water crossings.
Sound like your kind of adventure?
First person to call me and confirm they are going gets the last spot. My cell is 512-203-6143.
