Wildflower Rally
Once again, we will meet at the River Inn Resort in Hunt, TX for a few days of riding central Texas twisty roads, comparing farkles, looking at wild flowers (hopefully there will be some considering the lingering drought). I am taking over for Marty, who has done a wonderful job hosting this event. Not planning any major changes to format as we have it just the way we like it already.
Lodging The River Inn Resort and Conference Center near Hunt, TX is holding a block of rooms below the dam (east end). There are only a limited number of two bed rooms left below the dam. If you absolutely need a two bed room, ask if they have any above the dam (west end). Most single bed rooms have a pull out sofa bed as well.
Single bed rooms are at the weekday rate of $120/night, and the two bed rooms are $155/night. Additionally there is a $25 resort fee per reservation. If we reserve 10+ rooms, the fee will be waived.
Booking online will not automatically give you the COG rate, so call them at (830) 238-4226 to make your reservations. Rates are good for Thursday, April 3rd as well if you choose to arrive a day early, as many do.
Trailers
There is some limited parking at the west end of the facility for parking larger trailers. Parking or driving out in the grass is prohibited because of septic field damage. Do not assume that a late Friday night arrival will have room for your large enclosed trailer. Most motorcycle trailers can be accommodated if they are detached from the tow vehicle.
Meals
For this year, we are planning for one meal on Saturday, April 5th.
Friday & Saturday morning - an informal breakfast will be prepared by Doug Meister, consisting of breakfast tacos, coffee, and fixings.
Friday evening - We plan to have chips and queso and some munchies available for anyone getting back from their ride early. Will have these available starting at 3 pm. Evening meal will be on your own.
Saturday Dinner - A BBQ dinner prepared by the local Dickey's BBQ serviced by COG at the River Inn. Ice tea and ice cream for dessert will be offered.
Since the rooms at the River Inn have stoves and utensils for cooking, you may wish to prepare your own meals (restaurants are many miles away with a twisty deer populated road as the only access to and from the River Inn).
Registration and Additional Fees Registration fees for this event are $45 for members and $50 for non-members to cover food and insurance. When you arrive, we ask everyone to check-in and a sign an event waiver. Those refusing to sign the waiver will be asked to leave the rally.
We're asking everyone to register online to provide a headcount and help with planning. Registration deadline is 11:59 pm Tuesday, April 1st.
I hope to see you there! Until then, please be safe.
