Is anyone doing the Independence Ride in Wallis, TX on November 15th? If so, do you know when and where the packet pickup is? I can't find it on the website: http://www.wallisride.com/ Maybe it's only "day of"?
This is for a good cause and I've heard they lead you out with a Blackhawk, which should be cool.

Riders will need to register through the Registration link (http://www.active.com/page/Event_Details.htm?event_id=1641709&assetId=ed5f1f96-a914-42a9-afb5-23405f178249). We are requesting that participating riders, and anyone wanting to help with this worthy cause, make a donation of your choosing directly to the Independence Fund. Donate online or when you register at check-in on the day of the ride. Donating early will help us to bring in more wounded heroes from out of town.
Here is the link.

I did this ride today. The wind was horrible on the way out, but we flew the 2nd half on the way back in. Very well supported ride. Well marked routes, great rest stops with really friendly volunteers, and more toilets that you could wish for. And, it's for a great cause, our veterans.
I will definitely be doing this one again.
