Welcome to another rally that's not a rally.

This is a NO fee, NO registration event for all Suzuki V-stroms and Others, young or old, any color, and any size.
Year 2 for this annual spring time event.
Last years attendance was other 50 bikes. Not bad for a first time event. We should top that this year.

This is primarily a riding event but families would enjoy this area as well. The area is great for sightseeing the hill country plus the spring time that most years bring an abundance of wild flowers. A major photo op here. They have been getting rain in Llano this spring which should increase the flowers from last year.
There are no set routes. You just explore the hill country and find all its great offerings. Meet up with like minded and skilled explorers.
Last year we had several great volunteer ride leaders leading both paved and combination (dirt and paved) rides. We hope to see them and others this year. (This means you Rod (Mr2mch) and MudClod)
Below you will find some sights just waiting to be explored.
Locations: Llano Texas in the heart of the Texas Hill country.

Ride Headquarter: Days Inn & Suites 609 Bessemer Ave. 866-261-1141 (V-Strom Motorcycle Group Rate) $69.00 plus tax $78.09 for single or double queen. Kings and suites are also available but you will need to work out that rate with the hotel. 17 rooms that are currently available at this rate. 16 actually as I reserved 1. These rooms can be cancelled up to 4PM this night before your arrival. So if you are considering doing this ride and need a motel room you may want to jump on this early.
The Days Inn has dropped their rate from $99.00 to $69.00 for our ride group. This rate includes a free deluxe continental breakfast. They have coffee makers in the rooms plus refrigerator and microwave. There is also a community BBQ area with a large open parking area and is next door to the Badu which is where we will have Saturday evening get together. (see below for more information in the Badu)
Lone Star Inn - 325-247-4111 has gone up on us this year. They were not open to any rate reduction so their rate is 64.95 ($73.34 including taxes) for any room, king or double, non-smoking or smoking. They have 50 rooms.
