Welcome, Mike!

Any friend of Woody is a friend of mine regardless that we've not yet met. Looking forward to meeting you and riding with you soon.
Stay tuned to the Texas Board for details on the annual Mid-Winter Gathering and Gathering of the Fools.
The Mid-Winter Gathering is in Dripping Springs, west of Austin, and is usually mid-February. If you've never ridden the hill country, come on down. It may not be the Pig Trail or 7, but it's as good as it gets in Texas and the camaraderie is as good as it gets.

The Gathering of the Fools (GOTF) is in Friendswood and is close to April Fools Day. It is as close to required attendance as we VRCCers have, and you're next door! Plus, the camaraderie is as good as it gets.
After those, the largest gathering of Texas folks will probably be at InZane XIV, although not confirmed at this writing, scheduled for 8-12 June somewhere in the lower 48.

And the camaraderie is as good as it gets.
