AUSTIN: Texas Adventure Ride: Cancelled due to weather

Re: Texas Adventure Ride: May 3-6, 2018

I’ll be riding from Austin, Bee Cave/Dripping, on Thursday if anyone needs a riding partner. Looking forward to it!
 
Re: Texas Adventure Ride: May 3-6, 2018

I'm looking forward to this, especially after missing the Tenere-acity of Strom-a-Thon.
 
Re: Texas Adventure Ride: May 3-6, 2018

what cha goin' to be riding?

Well let's see, what will I be riding? From my stable of bikes, I think I'll go with my favorite, the 2016 Super Tenere. Of course my "stable" has just one bike in it, making the Super T my "favorite". :lol2::lol2:

Seriously, thanks for asking, and I am looking forward to the ride after reading somewhere that the routes are "big bike friendly".
 
Re: Texas Adventure Ride: May 3-6, 2018

I plan on heading out Thursday morning on my S10 rain or shine.

If the forecast does not improve, we will have to cancel the rally. We will make a decision by tomorrow afternoon.

JUST WEAR FLIPPERS INSTEAD OF BOOTS
 
Re: Texas Adventure Ride: May 3-6, 2018

May is packed with events, making it difficult to set a rain date...
Fingers crossed for a sunnier outlook
 
Re: Texas Adventure Ride: May 3-6, 2018

June would be ok, too. My friend from Bedford cancelled and released his room, so if the rally continues there is a room available. Weather looks sketchy.
 
Re: Texas Adventure Ride: May 3-6, 2018

Hoping the forecast will change. A little rain is OK but thunderstorms all day will keep me home.
 
Re: Texas Adventure Ride: May 3-6, 2018

Riders

Mode of transport for the event has changed from motorcycles to this:

Re: Texas Adventure Ride: May 3-6, 2018

Monday, Tuesday, even Wednesday is OK for rain. But not ride time! Rain next week even...

Hoping for the rain to push through faster leaving a dustless ride.

I don’t THINK it’s looking that bad...

Possible scattered thunderstorms Thu AM and again after midnight.
Likely on Friday EVENING.
Unlikely Sat.

- not much in total, looks to be brief when it does. (And I’m not made of sugar. ..Won’t melt :) )

Anyway; if you guys ARE going ahead with it; I’m in.
(Not registered; but we have rooms booked and will reg. when decision is made)

I love riding in Arkansas, but it is 500 miles away!

Getting a little wet is not the problem, wet caliche is the problem. Not fun.
 
Re: Texas Adventure Ride: May 3-6, 2018

Guys, I have call it. The rally is officially cancelled. The forecast is for a total of 2" accumulating Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with the majority on Friday. Sticky wet caliche is not fun.

Rich has told me that he will mail the hats out to everyone that has pre-paid and refund the registration cost minus the cost of the hat. He needs everyone to email him their mailing addresses, please send email to rgibbens@austin.rr.com.
