Yes, the oil hasn't even had a chance to settle in the crankcase from the last Hill Country run and it's time to plan the next one! 

Mark your calendars and start bribbing your boss (S.O.) now!  The date for this Hill Country extravaganza is:

Friday OCTOBER 24 - Monday OCTOBER 27

We'll meet at Koyote Ranch Friday afternoon.  Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning will be devoted to riding.  Leave K.R. Monday afternoon.

Maybe I should just keep the key to king cabin 26 instead of dropping it in the mail. laughingdp

I wonder if KR would be ready to handle another LSD odessey to the HC in Oct.

Last time I checked Labor Day is on September 1st?? What's on Oct. 27th besides a Monday?? This too far out for me to commit to but I do want to make a HC ride. [moto]

Let's hope that 337 is in a better state of repair just outside of Leakey. I rode it 4 times. Its not the funnest thing to do on a SBK

I'm scheduled for vacation from 18 Oct until 27 October...
I could maybe fudge a day one way or the other... but it is pretty much set there.

Well I'm partial to the 20th as that's my birthday. Seeing how I bought my S2R for my bday last year it would only seem fitting to spend this year with other "HOLIGN"s.  Grin

One thing we might want to consider was how clear the roads were on Monday as opposed to the weekend. Why not move things ahead one day by spending Friday in Austin with Koyote Ranch on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, leaving Tuesday?

i definitely benefited from there being basically no traffic on one sharp right-hander in particular    Undecided   i will have revenge next time around though.

Any weekend but the last weekend (Halloween parities,  you know!).  Although... how cool would it be to have a Halloween Hill Country Ride with everyone in costume?  I think chipo already has his...  Wink

I like coming back on Monday (except I now have a mental note to take the next day off from work to rest, unpack, post pics, edit video, etc).  This going straight back to work after getting into town after midnight is rough on us old guys.

If memory serves, the weather in October over last couple of years has been cooler in the last 1 or 2 weeks than the first weeks.  Not sure about the Hill Country, but trying to avoid the really cold weather might be preferred.

Otherwise, my schedule is free for any of those weekends!

SO all over this!! I'm giddy just thinking about it  Grin

This weekend was so much fun despite my 1) complete lack of experience and 2) one days notice prior to leaving. I can only imagine the awesomeness that will ensue in October.

I'll have to start the cigar collection early this time to supply Cory--since "it was the burger...."  laughingdp

Any weekend except the first is good for me. Looking forward to it.  <vroom> [moto] <vroom>
