Shakedown Ride – March 5, 2016
I am leading a shakedown / check ride on Saturday, March 5th, 2016 into the hill country. All riders are invited to attend.
The purpose of this ride is for Rundown rally attendees to test their bikes and packing system prior to the rally. Pack your bike with everything you will be carrying during the ride to Jalpan so you can test your packing system prior to arriving in Mexico. Don’t wait until the week of the rally to figure out your bike isn’t ready to go or that your packing system isn’t right for Mexico.
Saturday, March 5th, 10 am – meet at the convenience store at the intersection of Hwy 12 and Hamilton Pool Road (8901 Hamilton Pool Rd, Dripping Springs, TX 78620). Stands up at 10:15.
We will ride a 250 mile loop of the hill country. The route will consist of both paved and dirt roads.
A weather decision will be made not later than 6 pm Friday, March 4th.
Just finding out about this website. What is the total headcount so far? do you have a facebook page to communicate?
Lane,
About 20 riders have registered for the rally. I expect we will ultimately end up with about 30 riders total attending. I don’t have a facebook page set up, however most of the discussion about my events occurs on Two Wheeled Texans. It is the most active dual sport community in Texas. Here is the link to the thread about the rally: http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106215

Rich-
Have you had a chance to lay out the route for the Shakedown ride? I will have a crew of four coming up from Houston to burn off the winter rust and they just can’t wait to ride. Since I have to lead this band of merry morons I want to have a good sense of the route in case we need gas or need to bailout.
Thanks for setting this up.

HI THERE JUST CAME ACROSS THIS NEWS ,THINKING ABOUT MAKING THE RIDE IS ANYONE RIDING DOWN FROM DFW AREA ?? THANKS IN ADVANCE !
Maciek,
There isn’t a sign-up or registration for the Shakedown so I don’t know who might show. Usually, though, a few riders from DFW and Houston attend these types of rides.
got it thank you !
