A great weekend. Relatively straight forward off-interstate (for the most part) routes both there and back. We picked up the Dime Box LSC point on the way down. Round trip miles was about 720 miles.
This time we decided to pretty much hang around and enjoy the rally and friends company. Saturday we really didn't do any riding, other than to the rally site, the dealership and to Gruene (pronounced green) for lunch.
We stayed at the Schlitterbahn resort, right on the Comal River. We got free tubes so Saturday afternoon a group of us took advantage of the river and did a couple of floats downstream and through the rapids. It was a lot of fun.
This was a great spot for a rally, good roads and lots of fun things. Great little towns including New Braunfels, the Wurstfest grounds and Gruene. As a takeoff point there are lots of great riding in very close proximity.
There was a very good turnout overall at the rally, we heard numbers of over 4000 pre-registered, and over 7000 final registrants. I think there were the typical administrative and organizational issues however, based on some feedback. First time rally for the organizers. We didn't participate in the bike games in fact we didn't even watch any of it, but the feedback was less than positive. Bands and venues were very good though.
I'll post pics seperately.
