Kerrville, TX Hoedown Sep 29 - Oct 2

[Grumpy Goat]

Great area for a rally.
I wonder why the MOA no longer calls this one a Getaway?
Good to hear they had a shuttle planned. They did not mention that in any of the emails or website.
I thought it was odd they planned a bar and expected people to ride back the the motel.

Indeed it was / is a great area for a Rally and in some ways this one was a mini Rally, just that there were no vendors of course. Yes, the shuttle was a welcome surprise and it was handled perfectly. A 14-person commuter van was used and that made the 1.5 mile trip several times such that only a handful of people rode. Almost all who took part in the police escorted "parade" to the Theatre, turned around after the parade and came back to the hotel to park their bikes and drop their gear, then some jumped on the shuttle and came back for the dinner. I wished I was smart enough to do that! We just went there and came back on the shuttle. The Inn of the Hills facility was great too.

So far we have not attended any of the Getaways, just the local club rallies that are mostly camping events.
The different Getaways around the country seem to get good attendance.
Wayne how many attended this one.
Have you attended the one put on by the local club at the Kerrville campground?

This one was well attended and judging by the people staying at our hotel alone and the crowd at the Theatre, and also what I heard, there was over 80 people in attendance. This even was also attended by Ted Moyer and a few other MOA notables (e.g. Wes Fitzer and his wife who Donna had a nice chat with about bikes!). At registration there were swag bags with some goodies in it (including the event T shirt which was slightly delayed), and there was breakfast and dinner included daily in the event fee. There were daily rides which may have been led (we didn't do any of those), and they conveniently had GPX files of maybe 10 ride routes in the area printed off and also stored in Dropbox for easy download. I gave my compliments directly to Chad Warner (event organizer) for an inaugural effort well done.

No I have not attended any MOA camping event here or anywhere. I bet it would be nice.
