Any Thanksgiving time rides ??

I will move my ski from Tennessee to my house in Copperas Cove around Mid-November. Any late season rides planned for Central Texas??/

Yes Tanker there are Thanksgiving rides. Brian Smith with WWW.R5waterxracing.com and www.liquidspeedradio.com host the annual TURKEY RUN , believed this year to be in The Dallas / Lake Lewisville area the weekend before Thanksgiving or around that time. Its for Skis, Sport boats, and Run abouts. Its a endurance style ride / race on a large track and it is timed to where 1st place receives a 15lb turkey. 2nd a honey cured ham. and 3rd place a large package of Bologna for Thanksgiving prizes. I have not made one of these events myself but our hometown lake here in Beaumont Hosted it last year and we had 12 riders show up to particpate and watch. Alot of the racers Try to ride in there respective areas year round to stay in the swing of things. We are located near Houston, we have 10 to 15 riders at any given time. You asked about central TX? There are some riders in the Austin / Marble Falls area. The Texas Supercourse series runs at Lake Sommerville, Lake Belton, Lake Bryan, And Lake Dallas during the race season. Alot of thses riders are at world finals right now but once they get back there will be some action to ride left for the year. Oh and welcome to Texas!

Thanks. I have been a Texas resident for the last 15 years. I wasn't born there, but I got there as quick as I could....

I retired from the Army at Ft. Hood and still live in Copperas Cove. I have been in TN the entire season and will return and winterize my ski just before Thanksgiving. I will probably just ride a few times at lake Belton before I put her away for the winter.

Winter???? Whats that???? If I had my ski together I would ride all year round, but its gonna be down for a bit longer. I am going out this weekend on the little pig out to Lake Travis. Taking it from The Cove to the big city.

You said the cove. Do you mean Copperas Cove? That is where I live. I will be back home around the 16th of NOV and will ride Lake Belton and maybe Buchanan up until I put her up for a year to go to Afghanistan.
