RFTW 2013

Welcome home and thank you for your service.  I was an FNG last year and it was amazing! In 2013 we plan to ride from Austin, TX (May 11) to Rancho Cucamonga, CA and ATW to Washington, D.C. I will need to be back in Austin no later than June 2. . . some of us have to return to work and take care of our Veterans

Count me in as an FNG for the 25th RFTW. Glad to see this posting is already alive. Been wanting to make this ride for a long, long time. Planning on doing ATW. The planning has started....

Welcome Home

Welcome home, Footster, and welcome to the family! Thank you for your service! You are in for the adventure of a lifetime. Sidewalk (LaiKhe67tc) is right, there will be lots of opportunity to hook up with others for the ride to RC as well as the ride home from DC. We are family and nobody rides alone who doesn't want to. As the time grows nearer, and especially after the first of the year, there will be loads of tips and advice on every aspect of preparing for the Run. This was my FNG year and I found the information shared here essential and invaluable. There is no question you can't ask and no situation somebody else hasn't faced and figured out an answer for. See you in RC.

Hi everyone , I was a FNG day rider this year from Wentzville to Mt. Vernon but plan on going on to DC in 2013 and possibly camping most of the time.I did not serve and i did not run to Canada my number just never came up like some of my buddys did i would like to see some of them again even if its just on the Wall now i am haunted by what i didnt do or could have done. With that being said any information on what kind of gear i would need would be appreciated. The Anticspation of next years run is already starting to build, WOW what a feeling

Princess, Raven here, we live in Bandera so not too far from you.  My email is 2cnormans@gmail.com, should you have any questions or concerns.  Come to Kerrville, we would all love to meet you.  You will find  several groups heading to Rancho in May and you can meet many at Kerrville in Spet.  The CDR is one group, will give you practice on way out of how we ride and lots of leadership on the trip out, it is an unofficial ride out, still lots of great riders and good information given.  Serveral others will be headed out as well and all are open.  Watch the forum and as time get closer all will be seen on the forum.     If you ride out our way any, please email me and get our numbers, would be more than happy to met!   Hope to see you in Kerrville

Raven

Thanks Slammer i will be in touch

@hdtom
be careful about assuming the cities are the same in 2013. The 2013 itinerary has NOT been approved nor posted as of yet. This is a significant undertaking by each of the Route Coordinators and their staff. Typically the posted route does not finalize until closer to New Years.

Trax,

I know on the SR we hade several go last year.  They do not travel with the pack but attend the functions.  If on CR, I am sure someone will pipe in.   There should be no reason why he can not go.
