Hello my friends, just to give everyone a chance to start planning I wanted to post the planned dates for the 4th Annual Memorial TexasMas for May 3rd thru the 6th, 2007.
I'll try to lock up 20 plus rooms at the Microtel in Robbinsville next week, but will look at some other options too.
Be there! (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/fing02.gif)

For some members who have no idea what the TexasMac ride is here are some details, Texasmac was a member here who was from *you guessed it* Texas who met Baileyrock and some others for a ride into the Tennesse/North Carolina Smoky mountains to ride the famous Deals Gap. He passed away in a bizzare accident when his bike went off the road and ended up on top of him. He was the first member at VFRD to pass away - it was a shock to many of us, and to those who where with him they decided to honor him with an annual ride to the same spot of the accident, where there is a cross placed in his name. Baileyrock has taken it upon himself to organize this event for the last four years and each year it gets bigger and better, always with saftey in mind so that what happened to Texasmac doesnt happen to another member.

DATE: May 3rd - 6th 2007
Some of the rides: Cherehola Skyway, Deals Gap, Turners Corner, Wolf Pen Gap Warwoman Road, TN 30, and more of some of the best roads in the USA, with loops into North Georgia, Blue Ridge, Tennesse, North Carolina.
Groups, fast pace, moderate, and relaxed groups, a group for everyone, with a leader and a sweeper who know the route!
Last year there were 50 plus riders and it was a blast, no incidents, just fun, and we all gathered in the name of a fellow rider, myself included, this is by far the best rally that I personally have ever attended and I would recommend that you make plans to go this year!

The Microtel is filling quickly and I was only able to reserve 4 ns dbl, 5 sm dbl, 3 singles for Sat. night and depending on how many people plan to come we may not have enough space. We have 15 reserved for Fri. and 10 for Thursday night.
I contacted the San-Ran which is 2-3 doors down from the Microtel, they have 10 dbl rooms total and all are available now at $55 a night which is even cheaper that the Microtel at $67 thur, $76 fri/sat..
I think we can take over just about this whole place and it's close enough to the Microtel to keep the group together being less than a 3 min. walk.
Call Randall at 828-479-3256 and reserve a room if you can't get one at the Microtel.
Let me know if you book there too!
