It'll be interesting to see how high the PGR membership numbers eventually go. I'm imagining 6 figures. Can you picture THAT annual get-together???

I'll be leaving from I-35W & Golden Triangle at around 0715-0730, and can meet with others pretty much anywhere south along I-35W. Laney & our youngest will leave a bit later from the same area, so if there are any others caging their way down, she'd be happy to caravan with ya.

We know the way, in case anyone doesn't.....yet.

OK, I just registered here. I would like to make this ride.

I have known about this group for a while. But the protest in Temple last Friday made me sick to my stomach, so I am here now.

Anyone want to give me a short course and let me know what to do. I am in Belton, close to Temple. I will try my best to make this.

I have carried a flag on the bike for a long time.

I appreciate the dedication coming all the way from T-Town, DeLoach.  Backtrack a little through this thread to the intinerary posting.  The funeral is in Waco, not Lorena.  If you get to Lorena, you went too far. 

First, you can come down 59 to 79 to Palestine and ride with us, if you want to.  it will be just about as close and keep you off the crazy freeways.  We'll leave our rally point at 8:30.  Email me through this Forum if you want directions to us in Palestine. 

Second, once in Waco, take Loop 340/Hwy. 6 to the west off of I-35, then Hwy. 84 west towards Macgregor.  Go about 7.5 miles, and you'll see a Shell station and the Macgregor Municipal Airport on your right.  That's the staging area. 

Ride safe.  If we can help, give a shout.

Appreciate the heads up.  I will see what I can do to make Palestine route instead - will know more by Wednesday.  Have thought about leaving Wednesday evening after work making it a little easier instead of a long run that morning.

Quick question for everyone. This will be my first mission and am wondering if I need to bring a 3x5 flag in addition to the flag on my bike. I have an extra flag folded up here at the house but no pole.

Does someone from PGR provide the flags we'll be holding while there?

Thanks so much!
