The rides were great and we ate well. 

On Friday morning we started out early on a breakfast ride with 12 scooters. We arrived in Mereta, Tx after 40 miles through the crops and fields of Tom Green county. 

The afternoons were spent trying to get cool and then we would slowly reappear to visit some more. Thursday night
We ate at Catfish Corner with 21 people. Friday we had 28 at Western Skies, and Saturday afternoon we meet with 21 at Freddie’s. 

On Saturday morning the Breakfast Master, Ben Sargent, served sausage and pancakes at the Pavillion. 

The 10 scooters headed to Foster Park and the ladies headed to garage sales. Every one was happy.

Night time visiting was enjoyed by all these wonderful friends.

Thanks to Beverly Ledoux, Margaret Trevino, and Chrysti Love for the pictures.

Safe travels and we’ll see you all again.

Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas Cushman members invaded Ruidoso this last weekend. We rode to Cloudcroft, Ski Apache, and Carrizozo. The White Sands ride was cancelled due to the heat.

My count was 36 Texas Cushman Members and at least 15 from theater states. This was a very well attended ride. Thanks to all for coming!

What a great time we all had.

Jimmy and Sue Martin joined the Texas Cushman Club in 1984.  For 32 years they have paid their dues, traveled to meets, and created some challenging games.

Jimmy passed away this morning in Abilene, Tx. 

What I know right now:

Visitation Thursday, June 23rd. 5:00-7:00 at Elmwood Funeral Home, Abilene, Tx  

Grave side services: Veteran’s Cemetery, Abilene, Tx. On Friday at 10:00am

Anyone  who wants to ride their scooter from the gate of the cemetery to the grave site can meet at the office.

I will update this post and add the obituary when it has been released. 

You can tell Cushman people the ride is called off due to weather forecast. Do they listen? No.

We had 10 people camping and 6 people who live in Bastrop all gathered for dinner and visiting. It did rain and the Sargents and Press trailers had to evacuate their campsites in the middle of the night due to the Colorado River flooding. What a great time!

The weather looks horrible for this coming week we have decided to cancel the central Texas meat I will start to call people and if you would do the same we appreciate it 
I received this from Richard Kesselus this morning. We are disappointed because they are wonderful hosts. 

Just the event we have been waiting for! More info and news than this blog could ever give you!

This comment was made on the blog about the ride coming up:

The Amarillo bunch really went all out to make sure everyone had a good time. Barry, Pete, and Gary all know how to lead a ride I showed 255 miles, Don Page said 258, I told him no more 3 mile burn outs on that Silver Eagle. But thanks to all the people in Amarillo for a great weekend of good rides.
