I don't know the details about KSU, route, or ETA, yet, but the idea is for us north-siders to leave mid-morning Saturday, ride the back roads down, and stay at the host hotel. 

[SideCar]

Coming down from the north.  Look forward to seeing the Houston and CenTex crowd there. 

[Sparky51]

Have to take a pass this Sunday. Sorry!

[RainMaker]

Would love to attend and see my Houston 'peeps' but I'll be in the metromess working.

[Wanderer]

I'm in! Dave, SideCar, and I would love to be surprised by anyone that would like to ride down with us in the morning!

We will KSU from the Love's Truck Stop/Shell Station in Midlothian at Hwy.67 and 287 at 10am. Leisurely pace on back roads, including lunch on the road.

If you are stuck in the metromess for the weekend, Dallas Honda is having a lunch ride tomorrow - Saturday the 28th, with Jody Dean and Al leading to a surprise location (Stack House) that is benefitting Ride for Kids! Meet around 10:30 at Al Lamb's Dallas Honda. KSU 11am.

Ride safe! ~Jeff

Dangitt, I've been out of the country this week, was lookin forward to this. I had no idea the event was coming up already.

Ahh well, I'm in on the DFW RFK

625 miles of fun with friends supporting a great cause.  I'd call that a great weekend.

The total amount raised by today's ride (and all the year-round activities that go on but were tallied today) was over $321,000!  Congratulations Houston!  Great job by so many!     Let's do it again next year!

[Wanderer]

Sure was some good fun! Saw a bunch of Valks too! Here are just a few of the sights... Thanks to you all for stepping up to help these kids fight the good fight to the tune of $321,674.61!

October in North Texas can be some of the best riding weather of the year. Rain or shine, please consider yourselves personally invited to the DFW Ride for Kids, October 7th! Come in on Saturday and stay at the host hotel to help us celebrate our 10th annual event. The DFW Valk club was top club at last year's ride so you guys will be leading the ride this year - right behind the kids! ~Jeff

Good pictures.  Glad ya'll had fun, and I wish we could have been there.  Maybe I can make it up for DFW.

[Red Diamond]

There is a Valk rider from Beaumont who rides a Green/Cream, his name is Monty, it may be him

Who is this?  I don't recognize them.

Good Job!  Hope to make it next year. 

One kitchen pass battle at a time.

[SideCar]

Yep, it was a hoot.  Had the honor of giving RocketGirl her first ride in a sidecar.  We figured out that we have their family covered in the 6-80 year old range for sidecar rides. 

Great having fun with everyone and doing it for a great cause.  See ya soon.
