Registration

Registration is open at http://jasonjonas.com/rides/ until April 12, 2006
Registration is limited to 200 including the RAT riders.
Register Early!

"Note: If you are registering as a Rider and Passenger (1 Bike):
, You only need to do one registration, listing the passenger in the appropriate location during the registration process."

Note: If you are coming with your SO or a friend and both are riding you need to register separately.
The system will only allow one rider to register per email address. So you will have to have separate email addresses. If one of you does not have an email address, you can obtain one from yahoo, hotmail, or one of the other free services. We use the email address as your registration i.d. so duplicate email addresses are not allowed for a single event.

The Feast

Saturday, May 13, 2006, 6:00 p.m.

This years feast will be held at the Best Western Northgate, Texarkana, Texas, which is also our host hotel. The banquet will be limited to 200 people so get registered soon. Gerald Roberts found us some good BBQ. Big Jakes BBQ will be catering the meal. We will have three meats: Sliced Beef, Sliced Chicken, Pulled Pork. On the side will be Pinto Beans, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, Pickles, Jalapeno Peppers, Onions, Bread, Tea & Ice, and some goodies deserts like Double Fudge Chocolate Cake, Oven Fresh Peach Cobbler, or Pecan Pie.

Chewing Time

Friday, May 12, 2006, 4:00 - 11:00 p.m.

This time is reserved for chewing the fat. You know telling lies and stories about your latest ride. It is a great chance to do some catching up with old friends and an opportunity to make some new ones.
