OK, this is how it works out. I spoke with the Prez and we thought it would be best not to change a good thing. Seabrook has been good to use so here is the schedule:
Lonestar Rally Meet & Greet
Date: 11/03/2006
Place: Seabrook Beach Club
Time: T.B.D.
We are also going to get a place that we can enjoy dinner on Saturday night on the island. Marios was great to us last year as well but I will try and find a few more places....
:P :P :P :P :P :P :D :D :D :D :D
-
SEABROOK BEACH CLUB IS FINE. DO NOT CHANGE IT FOR ONE. KEEP IT WHERE IT IS THEY HAVE BEEN GOOD TO US.
-
This is going to be a blast. RD is buting the first round on Saturday :-\

the last couple of years we have started it around 6 ish. For those staying in Galveston we have a ride to the Seabrook Beach Club that leaves about 4:30 with a stop along the way.
More details to come the closer we get. I just wanted to make people aware because rooms are already filling up.

Yep, did that, but not being familiar with the island or the layout of the Rally I was hoping to get some info to help chose a hotel that was near the action. But if I have to ride my X around the island no problem. Riding is the X is what its all about. Looking forward to the Meet&Greet. Although it seems far away now it will be here before you know it. Looks like a 240 mile ride from New Braunfels, but my map program wants to rout me through downtown Houston >:(. Will have to look for a more interesting route.
-
Moving to New Braunfels? I must admit my envy. As far as hotels in Galveston, I would highly recommend the Tremont House or Harbor House. Personally, I vote for a B&B, as it tends to be quite more comfortable (translated-quieter at night :) ) such as Coastal Dreams or Grace Manor. On a more budget-conscious note, check out the Comfort Inn on Seawall or Holiday Inn - Sunspree. Avoid Downtown Houston by coming in on 10, take the beltway around town (which will connect you to 45 south) and follow it on in to the coast. Not the prettiest ride, but the shortest and quickest way around Constructionville.
-
ditto on what hookem said. we stayed just outside of galveston on 45. it's a straight shot in and out of galveston.
-
you can also go take HWY 6 into Galveston as well. The main events are on the strand. Antwhere you stay on the island your are about 5-10 minutes away from the action. Actually it gets to crowded on the strand at night. Alot of people tend to hang out on the seawall as well.
My advice is get your shopping done early as possible then you have time to enjoy :)
-
Yes I lived in Houston last year when i went and thursday night all the bikes start coming in and its great thats why this year i will be there plus its my birthday week end so i should have fun hope fully plus do get ur rooms early cause they get filled quick especaily the cheaper ones
-
I just made our reservations. They are getting scarce. Most more than double the price for Fri & Sat. I found a pretty good deal at the Flagship (Always wanted to stay there) $231 for Thur - Sun.
-
cool i have family living 20 miles from the island so im covered but everyone should get thier reservations done and it is fun over there

That 20 miles will seem like a 100 after having fun all day with your friends :D I live in Friendswood and I am still staying on the island. One you get in at 2 am then up again at 8 am that 20 mile ride sucks back to the island as well.
Looking forward to meeting you as well O0

that sounds like a good price. I know the Hilton and most others are charging FULL PRICE that weekend!
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I have heard the Flagship is old and a bit run down. However, I've always wanted to stay there because of the patios and the view. At the price they offer I'll take my chances.

I'm picking up / buying my (used) 04 Black VTX1300C tonight .. then this weekend I'm riding it to a B&B near Glen Rose.. if I can get back to Addison in time (read = if I can talk my girl into it) I hope to be at Duke's this Sunday around Noon. I look forward to meeting more local X riders. How long have you guys hung out the past couple of weeks??
Also, if there are any riders that might be interested in a morning ride one morning next week, before the temps get too high.. I'm up for it.

I am from Galveston and now live 20 minutes away off HWY 6. If I can be of any assistance to anyone, just drop me a line.
Glad to help.
