Sunset at Rancho Topanga. It was nice to meet Mike and Dave from Dallas on the road and Fred here at the campground. I can't believe this day has *finally* arrived.

Great Photos! Thanks.
 
Justin and James. We just had dinner but didn't trade numbers. Can one of you (I'm thinking Justin) text me at 214. Five 0 two. Oh five hundred so I have a number?

I'll be there in time for breakfast tomorrow. Will anybody be arriving closer to 10 or so?
 
JT and I are planning to ride to Top Of The World in Terlingua Ranch tomorrow.

This ride takes 4-5 hours/ ~70 miles.

Anyone who wants to join us, be fueled up and ready to go at 8am, at the Starlight.
 
Gina, Mary and I won't be there in the morning, but is this a possible two up ride we can do later in the day?

Ladies & Gents-

For those of you interested we made some rally decals specifically for the TARA Around the Bend Rally. We will bring them to the dinner tomorrow night if anyone would like one. Not that there will be any problem identifying other TARA riders but we figured riders may want some bragging merch. Easy to install and see through. See everyone out there!

Just made it into the Hampton inn in alpine and I see several adventure bikes parked in the special motorcycle area, how cool is that. Anybody from our gang down there ?

Riding since 830 finished at 2030. Got pulled over coming out of the gas area after river road, seems the speed limit before the tunnel is 30, so he gave a verbal warning after running plates. Great day riding otherwise, met some great people here.
 
Final count not um--finalized but we served 93 dinners tonight and may have over 100 registered riders.
Was great meeting so many folks tonight. And putting faces with screen names.

Looking forward to some great riding tomorrow, hopefully in cooler temps!

Good for you all. I'm trying to not be jealous.
 
What an amazing couple of days of riding. I caught Old Ore, River Rd, Black Gap amongst several others.

One thing I want to get in before heading home is the river road to Presidio and back. After that if I get back early enough I thought I cap it off with a ride someone mentioned like 'top of the world'? Apparently it's a quick ride with good views.

Can any one provide a gpx file for that ride? Or anything to point me in the right direction?
 
I'm heading to Ojinaga tomorrow to find the grave of the notorious drug lord Pablo Acosta who is reportedly buried just south of town - we will also be checking out the canyon near there - Peguis Canyon. If anyone wants to join me I'll be leaving from Lajitas (meet at the restaurant in the resort) at 9 AM - or arrive at 8 AM and join me for breakfast. Must have a passport.

If we are successful in finding the grave I plan on having a celabatory late lunch at Lobby's in Ojinaga - I hear it is pretty good.

Our patient Lead From Behind Leader. THANK YOU Phillip for a great day of riding. (Old Maverick Rd. Stop at Santa Elena canyon, River Rd to Glen Springs). ~125 miles for the day. All but 40 on "primitive road".
