THE TEXAS SHINDIG WILL BE A SANCTIONED EVENT!!!

We have NBOD members coming and several members from AZ, OK, AR, and LA to included the state Reps. Let’s show them how Texas Rolls!!

Come one, come all!!!

The Texas Shindig is one month away with plenty of time to plan and make arrangements. (19-21 June) Whether it’s a day trip with a turn and burn or you’re staying the entire weekend it’s going to be a blast.

I’m being told by the Comfort Inn that the entire hotel is almost booked. Lots of reservations made at the RV park across the street as well and Best Western as well. Feel free to book at whatever location you can find. I hear airBnB have nice places there too. 23-23 booked a bnb that sleeps 12!!!

We now have members coming from surrounding states because they know Texas knows how to throw a party!!!

Our SPRO Bethany Renee is busting her ass with setting up activities and rides.

Friday we are doing meet and greet (location TBD either be Comfort Inn or VFW. )

Saturday there will be several ride plans for wind therapy and then a social gathering Saturday night.

Any aux out there want to help do something special for Father’s Day Sunday morning? Maybe we can do Breakfest tacos or something?

SPRO will have a flyer with events out by the end of the month.

Brad Berglund and I both agreed to purchase a keg of beer so SPRO can arrange that too lol.

I want to acknowledge all the work SPRO is doing reaching out to locations.

Who wants to go hand out in Luckenbach!!

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas

With Waylon and Willie and the boys

This successful life we're livin'

Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys

Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Newbury's train songs and "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain"

Out in Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain

Hope to see y’all there!!!!

Ps the flyer will be out by 31 May

UPDATED 18 SEP '19

We’re a month out …. God help us as we get closer! As Buckeye said best.. bunch of ‘ Drunk Feral Cats!’

FRIDAY is the day we ride out as a Chapter. Dutch suggested and I agree; main initial meet point for all will be Bu cee's in Terrell , KSU/meet time to be determined. We can figure out the short legs to get us to Bu cee's later (ex. Group from Greenville rolling down Hwy 34, etc).

Good news is … looks like we’ll have a good showing for the ride and State as a whole.

Below is the context of an internal email send out 9 SEP 2019 to 23-11

Folks, looks like most (all?) are skipping Regionals this year. State next month, appears to be the big one for most to attend.

For the purpose of planning a Chapter/Group ride from East Texas to Temple, can you respond if you are going AND riding? If so, what day are you departing? I’m assuming Thursday will be the day for most of us, but ….. if it’s Friday, we’ll adjust! Looks like a 4.5 hr, 225 ride, if we stay off the Interstate. (*

A few are thinking . “wait?” “ State?” “Next Month?” “Where?” Just kidding (I hope!)

But … in case you want to review specifics, I’ve included a link to the web site as well as a quick consolidation of the events

Again , for those RIDING in please respond if you’re interested in a Group/Chapter ride there

Regionals 2019

Had our Chapter Meeting last week at the Clancy Saloon (awesome weekend BTW!). The highlight for me was folks got patched in as well as the whole event that weekend. Addtionaly, we had a changing of the guard so to speak with Chapter Elections.
CO - Antonio Estrada
XO - John D. Benton
SEC - Mario J. Ramos Jr.
TREAS - Brian Nichols

During the meeting, as Road Captain I was asked for some input. I was ready for the Big Ride to Buda so I asked for a show of hands on how many were headed south on their bike to Regionals, but I was caught off guard. I've been planning this for a year. It's on the edge of the Hill Country just south of Austin, so I was a

lil' excited. Had my room reserved since last year. I was down in that area this past June with another group I ride with (Iron Indians) and had a blast. Good news is I got my fill because all I got was a 'maybe' from one other person on Saturday. HUH? Well, the good news is, a large group (majority?) are headed to Temple next month for State so we'll be good to go.

Curve Ball. As I said, I wasn't expecting that response for Regionals. So, after we got home yesterday mama and I had a discussion about 'what to do'. Short version is I've got a lot on my plate overall, so I checked about the hotel's cancellation policy (10 Sep, no penalties) and did the unthinkable. CANCEL

Problem is, as a 'newbie' to the CVMA I just don't know many outside 23-11. If a few others were going, I'd be there. But that's now behind me and it's time to start planning for State. Cooler temps for riding, lots of 23-11 folks riding in; I feel a good time coming on!
