April 30th, May 1st & 2nd, 2010
It’s time the TeXSive Riders, my motorcycle friends, and anyone else riding motorcycles take a long weekend trip to Jefferson, TX; located near Caddo Lake and the Lake O’the Pines in north east Texas.

Who's going? My wife Deborah is going and driving her car; so the non-bikers living near Houston can ride with her and join the party. I know of at least five bikers going; Stan Hutchison, Steve Hutchison, Robert and Linda Moore, and Mike Campbell.
All riders are welcome, so invite your friends. The only requirement is to have fun and enjoy the weekend. Children are welcome, assuming they're fun also.
