The ride headquarters for this year's TAR is:
Best Western Hotel
244 Dos Rios Drive
Junction, TX 76849
325-446-3700
The Best Western is sponsoring TAR again for 2013. Rooms are $70
for a single or double and include breakfast. The Best Western
will also be hosting our Thursday night meet-and-greet with free
beer.
In the event that the Best Western gets sold out there is a
Rodeway Inn next door. Their rooms are a little less expensive
than the Best Western but doesn't include breakfast. If you stay
at the Rodeway you can eat breakfast at the Best Western for a
few dollars.
This year's banquet is at the Coke Stevenson Community Center.
Jennifer from Isaak's Restaurant is catering this year's banquet
again. The banquet begins Saturday evening, 6 p.m.
Texas Adventure Challenge
I'm please to announce the 2nd annual Texas Adventure Challenge
will be held in conjunction with TAR again this year. Last
year's challenge event was well attended so I've brought it back
again this year. The Texas Adventure Challenge is a 2 day
adventure tour of the Texas hill country. It will include as
much dirt as possible and will challenge you to complete the
entire course in the available time.
Note that the Texas Adventure Challenge and the Texas Adventure
Ride are not the same event. They are different events occurring
on the same weekend. Riders will participate in one or the
other, not both.

TAC ride headquarters in Junction is the Best Western. The
challenge begins in Junction on Thursday evening, 6 p.m. with
rider check-in in the lobby of the Best Western. Riders will
overnight Thursday and Saturday in Junction, so make your motel
reservations.
On Friday night challenge riders will be overnighting in
Kerrville, TX. Note that this is a location change from last
year. The challenge is running a different course this year,
hence the change to Kerrville for our Friday night stop.
The ride headquarters in Kerrville is:
Best Western Sunday House
2124 Sidney Baker Street
Kerrville, TX
830-896-1313
Kelli Dunbar, Manager
I have reserved 20 rooms. Each room costs $94.99 and can hold
1-4 people. Breakfast is included (beverages are seperate). Make
sure you tell them you are with the motorcycle group so you get
the discount rate. If the Best Western is full, there are
multiple other properties nearby.
Make your reservations now. April is the busiest month of the
year in the hill country and the properties in Kerrville sell
out every April weekend. Even if you aren't sure if you will be
able to attend make your reservation now - you can always cancel
it if needed.
For those trailering to Junction, you can leave your
truck/trailer in the parking lot of the Best Western.
Uncle is in charge of the rescue trailer. He will be based in
Junction, on standby for anyone's bike that needs to be
transported to either Junction or Kerrville. Teams will be given
Uncle's cell number at rider check-in so they can call him if
needed.
Riders can put their MARKED luggage in the luggage trailer on
Thursday evening or Friday morning for transport to Kerrville.
And then again on Friday evening or Saturday morning for
transport from Kerrville back to Junction. Please clearly mark
your name on your luggage.
John Thompson is in charge of the Sweep Team. John will be
leading the sweep team both days to ensure no one gets left
stranded on the course.
Start and end times will be provided at rider check-in. The
routes in both gps route and track format will be emailed to all
registered riders who provide an email address.
