also a link on the Club Calendar for January 1st.


Starting point is this Shell in Brookshire:


306 FM-359 at I-10

Southwest Corner has the McDonalds


It is a 144-mile ride down with an optional 114-mile return route. Reply to this Forum message if

you plan to attend but are not a member of the MeetUp group, just so we know how many are

showing up.


Some rules for the ride to help with safety, inclusion, and minimal confusion.

  1. Ride your own ride! Your participation indicates your understanding that you participate entirely at your own risk and accept complete responsibility for the safety and well-being of yourself, your passengers, and your property. Your participation also indicates you carry insurance in accordance with Texas law, and that you have a motorcycle license.
  2. Please ride with your bright lights on (except for the rider immediately behind the leader) and carry emergency contact information with you.
  3. Let's maintain a safety-minded culture: All the Gear, All the Time. That includes a helmet, jacket and riding pants (preferably armored), over-the-ankle boots, and gloves.
  4. Please make sure you start the trip with a full tank of gas. Plan on having enough gas to travel 125 miles between gas stops. Never pass up an opportunity to get gas when we stop for a break.
  5. This is not a ride for stunting. Please don't pull wheelies, stoppies, or stunts of any kind!
  6. If you are going to break off from the route, please wave at someone so we know you left the group on purpose, then have a great day.
  7. Keep an eye on the person behind you. If you lose sight, turn around and find out what happened. Let's not leave anyone behind.
  8. Any place where there is a turn signal required, we will wait until the last rider (Sweep Rider) makes the turn before continuing.
  9. Please check your cold tire pressure before you leave home.

I will meet you at the Spot. Riding from Sargent TX.

Acknowledged...


I've attached the GPX file for the long ride from Brookshire to The Spot.

How do you get on the MeetUp group, and what time do you think you will come through Brazoria?


Based on the GPX, it has us at Buc-ees at Oyster Creek at 11:15am-11:35am if we keep to the timeline.


At the moment, I don't have any advice for MeetUp. I'm still using a free license. I think you just sign up, and look for our BMW Motorcycle group events.
