Hello Texas X Riders, Please take a look at this years Schedule of Events. These times are subject to change without notice however every effort will be made to advise of said changes should they need to be.

As mentioned before these times are subject to change without notice. Remember we are here to have a good time not show up for boot camp. With that said on posted times, please do not get offended if you are left behind because you didn't show up on time and if you did show up on time and the group as a whole decides to wait on someone don't get offended about that either. No one person is locked in on riding with the group.
Every effort will be made so that those attending a group ride do not get left behind. The general rule of thumb is we do not make a turn until all are accounted for as to avoid stragglers getting lost. With that said they aren't that many main roads out here and eventually they all lead to somewhere.
Cell phone service can sometimes be very scarce so do not rely alone on your phone GPS/maps. You may be severely disappointed.
I haven't seen a place in a few years that doesn't take card but still bring some nice fluid cash just in case.
Because this area caters to bikers, shops and tow services for bikes are not scarce but being prepared never hurts.
***If you have something of VALUE you'd like to donate to the raffle we greatly appreciate it. please withhold any items that are just junk to you. This isn't a swap meet. Thanks***
***If you have something that is junk to you but feel it is of value to someone else and want to bring it to BBT to rid yourself of it, please make arrangement with that person however you see fit. You pack it, you store it, you get rid of it. Do not leave it or bring it to the raffle tables. Thanks****
If you have not made sleeping arrangements, be it with a stranger or by yourself, I urge you to call right away as riding season is at it's peak around that time and lodging gets booked up quickly if not already.
I have never seen a problem from our group but always be courteous to those at Pioneer RV park. Many of their guest have been there a while way before us and will be there long after us. We have always been welcomed back ever since our first visit when they experienced our group for the first time
We are about 1 1/2 months away. I look forward to seeing everyone.
