The 2015 COG SC Wildflower Regional Rally (aka: the wildflower ride) is now officially scheduled :whoo: at the River Inn Resort for the weekend of April 10th-12th, 2015.
You can register for the event on the calendar, or here.
I plan to use the same BBQ caterer for the meal Saturday night that we had last year (and the year before). I expect cost will be about $12 or so a head, and I'll need a good head count prior to the meal so that we get the right amount of food. Registering for the event on the calendar will help me better estimate how many meals we need.
I'll be taking over from Fred Harmon for this event and hopefully I can do almost as good as he has done. For those of you that haven't been here before, there is no restaurant on site or within walking distance. The units have very nice kitchenettes. The units are individually owned and thus are not identical, however the units should all be adequate for meal preparation if so desired, and of course we will be having BBQ catered on Saturday night. If someone wanted to show up on Thursday and cook their famous chili on Friday afternoon for us to enjoy as a Friday night dinner, I would be most happy to assist with supply acquisition, pot stirring, onion chopping, taste testing and whatever. Anybody? Anybody? I'm no chili cook (so I've been told) or I'd do it. Barring any such volunteer I will be posting a forum sign up posting closer to the event for a "Meet to Eat" at a local restaurant (not BBQ, but otherwise I'm open to suggestions) on Friday evening.
Please reserve a unit at the River Inn Resort as soon as you are able, so that if we need more rooms we can still get them. Our blocked rooms are being held until January 1st 2015 but if we use them all up we may be able to get more if it is early enough that there are still some left. The nearest alternative lodging (to the best of my knowledge) is miles away and would involve some night driving through some serious deer habitat to return to after the evening socialization around the outdoor fireplace patio area at the River Inn.
For those that may not be familiar with central Texas roadways, there are lots of very nice roads in the area. However, the pavement is generally more abrasive than you may be used to. Please show up with some decent tires to get maximum enjoyment from the area as well as enjoy a safe trip home.
