Alright - let's get formal. East Texas 500 (ish) mile dirt road loop. 3 days. I will update this post with GPS track, rider list, etc. Second post will contain generic details. If something needs to be added to these posts, let me know.
This is not a sponsored or supported ride. As of right now there is no support vehicle, so we will need to carry our own tools and camping supplies. Anybody wants to volunteer a support vehicle and/or driver, let me know.
Please let us know if you are in or not as soon as you can. We don't need exact numbers, but we need to give Bean's a heads up on around how many people.
Try to be at the Livingston Wal Mart by 8AM on the 10th, so that everybody can unload, gear up, split into groups, and be MOVING by 9AM. I don't care if other groups leave early or wait later, but my group will be planning to be gone by 9AM.

We will be crossing paths with the North group on this day. We should all be on the right side of the road anyway, but we will know for sure that there will be opposing traffic on this day.
GPS FILE updated 9/1/2014 - should be complete. Rusk group may not use the first and last sections, since they don't need to come to Livingston.
