Comments:

- Iron horses if you can, cages are always welcome and
appreciated.
- Safety First: Please remember to properly hydrate
(including the night before) before any outdoor activity and
to dress appropriately. Do not hesitate to take a break at
any time if you feel you need to get in the shade or get
indoors and always ask for help at any time. Also please do
not forget your sun screen.
- Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and
silent, and with honor and respect for this patriot and
their family.
- We will park along the main street close to the
designated shelter with 2 bikes side by side as close to the
curb and each other as possible so that traffic can get by.
Let's always remember to keep the motorcycle and voice
noise to a minimum when arriving and leaving the shelters.
|
|
|
Due to the expected large showing it is recommended you
arrive at DFW National early and park on the lower road. The
area near the shelter will be coned off to allow parking for
bikes in the procession.
All Ride Captains in attendance
at each mission part will be utilized.
