Copied and Pasted from the G.R.I.T. page - it's this weekend
Hey y'all, I thought this info was already on here, but I guess I thought wrong so here it is: The 39th Annual Guzzi Riders in Texas GRIT Rally will be Friday, Sept 29 - Sun Oct 1 with the main event being on Sun Oct 1.
It will be held at my house near Lindale, TX again: 15093 County Road 431 aka Jim Hogg Road. It is at the corner of Jim Hogg Road and County Road 474. Cost is $0.00 and all meals starting Fri supper thru Sunday lunch are included. Ken Hand will be making his famous breakfast breads as usual for Sunday morning so come hungry! Sunday's spaghetti lunch will begin at 11:30 and door prizes and awards will be given during lunch. If you enjoy the rally, drop some money into the donation bucket to help keep it going.
Tents and motor homes/campers are welcome. I do not have any water, sewer or electric hookups for campers though.
Almost all of Texas is in a burn ban right now, so no campfires are allowed.
The weather is supposed to be cooling down by then! Already earlier this week nights were mid 60's and highs were low 90's! I had to bring out my heavy winter coat, but then the temps jumped back up to about 350 degrees.
There are several routes to ride to check out east Texas! You can visit the salt museum in Grand Saline or you can even go to New York or London from here! Routes range from 30 to 120 miles so you can choose how much you want to ride. If you want to hang out here, there's also plenty to do. Check out all the bikes, visit with old friends, play games and eat.
You can set up a tent, reserve a bed in the main house, or a futon in the "dance studio". You can also bring your own cot and set it up in the house or dance studio if it's too hot outside.
You are welcome to come before Friday and stay after Sunday if you want, but you'll be on your own as far as food goes. Come on your bike, come in your car, bring your kids and your non Guzzi friends. Everyone is welcome. This is a family event.
I do not have a computer at my house and my phone is not "smart" but I will check a computer at least once a day. You may call or text me at 903.316.7720 with any questions and leave a message including your name and phone number! Hope to see you here!
