UPDATE:  CHANGES to STAGING PLANS (as of Tuesday 1300 hrs)

ITINERARY for FRIDAY 15 JUNE 07, San Antonio, Texas:

We will need to do two stagings, one for those who will go to the chapel and a later staging for those going directly to the cemetery.

UPDATED:  We WILL be providing an escort from the funeral home to the chapel with police escort.

1st Staging:  Porter Loring Mortuary North, 2102 North Loop 1604 East at Gold Canyon.

Map:  http://tinyurl.com/2ntqld

1st Staging at 0830. Safety briefing at 0850. KSU 0900. Ride Captain George Briscoe ("Bumblebee") (210) 269-6410.

The Provost has approved us to go on the Fort, so the only requirements for bikes will be helmets and staying with our group. If you do not have a helmet, you MUST go with the second group.

We will ride to the Main Chapel on Ft. Sam Houston and set up a flag line upon arrival. The funeral begins at 1000. After the funeral, we will ride escort to Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery, Shelter #4 and join the flag line for the 1130 services.

2nd Staging: STACY'S SPORTS BAR at 1033 Rittiman Road (just East of Harry Wurzbach Rd).

2nd Staging at 1030. Safety briefing at 1040. KSU 1050. Ride Captain Brad Pierce (210) 391-3151.

The second group will ride directly to the cemetery and shelter #4 (the regular site) and establish the flag line when the truck with flags arrives before the 1130 services. Helmets are not required at the cemetery.

Temperatures will be hot by midday, so dress accordingly and stay hydrated.

Please remember that multiple services are held each day at the cemetery, so please try to ride as quietly as possible on cemetery grounds out of respect for the families at other funerals.
