IBA Ride Around Texas April 20-22 2018

[NTXFJR]

I've been wanting to do another IBA ride called the Ride Around Texas, or RAT ride. It's 3100 miles in 3 days. After kicking it around for a few months waiting on the right set of circumstances, I had an opportunity pop up for a long weekend after a business trip. My initial plan is to launch from Paris Tx at zero dark thirty on Friday 4/20 and finishing up on Sunday 4/22. There are 18 check points around the state, and the ride can be started and ended at any one of them. If anyone is interested in riding along, let me know, I can be somewhat flexible on start points and times. I'll post up the spot track and routing in case of any interest once it's settled. Let the riding begin!

Are you doing the "Gold" (70 hr) or the "regular" (85 hr)?

Either will be a challenge but the extra half day would make it a bit easier. Good luck!!

Paris, TX was the start location for the MTF when I did the ride many moons ago.

Have a great ride my friend !

Going for the gold. After riding some with Tony last year, this one seems doable somehow.
