Texas VRCC Hill Country Ride-In

Rocketman · Tue 21, Jul 2015, 20:53:04

The annual Texas VRCC hill country ride-in has been set for October 23-25, with Ground Zero being located at the Peach Tree Inn in Fredericksburg.

Friday will be the arrival day, with dinner that night.
Saturday will be for riding and Harvest Classic visiting during the day, and grilling burgers/etc. that night.
Sunday is departure day.

The Peach Tree has been a favorite over the years, with a grill out back that we've used for Saturday's dinner, a meeting room for gathering, and a courtyard where we have sat and swapped fish stories all night long. The Harvest Classic is just up the road, with lots of good attractions, and of course the riding in the hill country just can't be beat. I hope everyone can make it.

We have a block of rooms set aside. The rate is slightly higher than last year, because there's a wine festival that weekend, making it a "premium" weekend. We are still getting a group discount on the rooms, though, so make sure you tell them you're with the VRCC. If you want to book online, there are a separate group of rooms there, just put VRCC in the notes of your booking, or tell them when you check in, and they'll discount it at the time of check in.

Could a guy from Bama get in on this too? I love to ride the hill country, but for one reason or another I've never been able to make one of your group rides... always wanted to, just didn't get 'er done. Anyway, I've taken the liberty of reserving a room and placing this event on my calendar... Sure hope that's OK...

Absolutely. We'd love to have you. All VRCCers and friends are welcome.

(I've raided a few Bama rides in the past, how ungrateful would it be not to welcome ya'll with open arms?)

Postscript to my comments above:
I'll cross-post this to the national board soon, after I've given the Texas forum denizens a bit of a head start on booking.

Disco · Thu 23, Jul 2015, 10:15:39

Thanks, Rocketman! I'm booked for Friday and Saturday and really looking forward to it.

That will be a real treat!

What are the odds of you bringing the MITCHO / trout dude / t-man403 entourage?

Got my approval for my kitchen pass for the weekend.

Checking on a roommate now, but one way or another I am planning on being there.

Houdini · Fri 24, Jul 2015, 17:47:14

Y'all better hurry if you're staying at Peach Tree, I was told a few minutes ago that they are almost sold out.

Super Santa · Sat 25, Jul 2015, 13:54:11

Got my reservation. All they have left is suites. Hurry up and get yours.

Timbo · Mon 27, Jul 2015, 04:41:04

Timbo & PlaneCrazyGal are booked Thu-Sat. YAY...can't wait to see everyone.

brew1brew · Mon 27, Jul 2015, 10:14:33

I got my suite, looking forward to it.

MR BURNOUT · Mon 27, Jul 2015, 13:45:25

The cabins on grapevine creek in Luckenbach are available to us again this year if anyone is interested, I know a few of us will be staying there. https://www.facebook.com/luckenbachlodgecabins If interested give me a call (210) 478-8476 Curtis
He said we could have them for $ 100 a night.

franco6 · Thu 30, Jul 2015, 10:18:05

I've contacted all three and asked, urged, cajoled, and pleaded... MITCHO and Troutdude are probable, standard caveats of weather, wives, unknowns and unforeseeables notwithstanding of course. T-man 403 would definitely like to come, but the picture is more complicated for him... therefore, he's doubtful at best. I'm 'in' myself... well, standard caveats notwithstanding with yours truly as well... Except for the wife thing... I am blissfully matrimonially unencumbered... See y'all there!!!

Hello my name is Chris I bought a 2003 Honda Valkyrie about three months ago and I've been riding it every day since I would like to go on the Hillcountry ride but the motel is full any suggestions I would appreciate it thank you

Gitter · Sun 02, Aug 2015, 22:58:14

I did just book a suite ($139) a night and he told me there was one left. So Leener and Gitter will be there. Can't wait to see everyone again.

Super Santa · Mon 03, Aug 2015, 11:01:05

Chris, don't know your situation or anything, but here is what I offer.

I have a suite. Did not want it, but took it. I am alone. I have a king bed. Not to interested in sharing my bed with another guy. If you have air mattress and wish to share some space, I am willing to share with the new guy.

I am older than most, some say I snore a little, non-smoking room.

Hate to have you miss out on your first possible Valkyrie ride in.

First valk · Mon 03, Aug 2015, 13:40:55

Hey guys thank you for the info and the invite I just got one it's going to be me and my wife and two dogs so appreciate it I'll see you guys then

Hope to see ya on the roads...perhaps in a winery a little closer to the center of this fine state!
Enjoy!

RainMaker · Sat 08, Aug 2015, 09:34:32

yer ask'in / talk'in to the wrong people ....

" Concerning Processing Time-Frame: Because our shirts are made-to-order right here in San Dimas, CA, please allow one to three weeks for processing. For more information, please refer to our Shipping Information page."

I believe oz does not run , has no dealings the f-6 store any longer ...
ask on the national board or call the f-6 store to find out for sure ... $:-\$

John

Oz said he wanted to work on the shirt with the F6 store. Not all has been disclosed.

I hadn't worked on an overflow.
If there's enough call for it, I'll call around. Anyone have a preference? If we get enough rooms blocked out, we might get a bulk discount. Thus, I'm looking for suggestions of a place, plus a rough headcount on how many rooms we need.

NCGhostrider · Thu 20, Aug 2015, 20:49:53

My wife and I are going to try to make this one. Been wanting to for years. Hopefully there will be others wanting to add their presence also!

I am working on a way to be free to ramble that way this year. Rode with you all in 2013, and have wanted to go back ever since. I really enjoyed! At this time, 80% sure I will be there. Firefighter

I am going to tell my daughter they can go ahead & rent the cabins in Luckenbach because they have had a lot of request for that weekend. I will wait until Friday incase someone needs one, if so let me know.

As usual, we hope to be able to make it down this year for a great ride in the hills. Will depend on flights into and out of SAT or AUS for us to make it. T.P.
