Central Texas Meet May 16-18, 2024

Twig Branch, Tommy Goode, Frank Turbeville, Ted Grisham, Don Paige, Don Henry, Jerry Krenek, and Richard Kesselus

We had a light turnout  probably due to the short notice and the weather report.  Thursday was a little wet as the storm blew past and we watched from cover the trees bent and the rain came down in sheets.  Unlike most areas from central Texas through Southeast Texas we did not suffer any damage. Thursday evening we had a Dutch Treat meal at  El Nuevo Mexico restraint . Friday’s ride was a short 40 mile trek through northeast Bastrop County to McDade Texas for fuel and back through the grass growing areas of the County Six scooters, chase vehicle and two car  completed the ride. Everyone then departed to seek a light meal in anticipation to the planned evening Fish Fry.

The evening got started about 5 PM with most likely a little lying and story telling while JJ Money and Richard got the fire going under the cooking oil. The meal was served at 7 and was reported to be eatable.  Jane Press provided some outstanding cookies and Debi Goode showed up with her now famous Strawberry Short Cake.

Saturday started out with coffee and donuts at 8 AM and the ride got underway at 9 which covered 78 Miles of southeast Bastrop County to Rockne for a rest stop and then on through Rosankey to Smithville for another rest stop before winding up in Winchester Texas at the 1913 building housing  Murphy’s Steak house.. The return route was through the old Park Road 1 between Bushehr and Bastrop State Park which is a must see and ride road in Texas. The return was uneventful and everyone loaded up for their return home.  The meet being a little light was still a success enjoyed by all.
