Our first major ride of 2019 is a return to southwest Texas and the Big Bend area. We were here in 2017 and it will be great to return to an area that we have enjoyed for many times since the Polar Bear Ride of 2004. Get your rooms booked ASAP as this is the end of Spring Break and there could be problems finding lodging if you wait too long.
