Stan Brein The heat is on! We are now into summer riding, and you know what that means: hydration, moderation, and wicking clothing! Spring passed us by so quickly. What did we do? The past three months have been active ones. There was the spectacular Spring Hill Country 5-Day Adventure in Ingram (April 14-19). Ron…
Stan Brein We always have to handle what is dealt to us and regroup. This is all too familiar with motorcycle riders who have so many variables to juggle: your physical condition, the condition of your motorcycle, the weather, the riding conditions, and, of course, having a full tank of gas. Planning a ride in…
Stan Brein The temperatures are in the 70s. Well, on some days. I think we are now clear of the winter freezes. It’s time to clean the bike, get on those spring maintenance tasks, and get back on the road to our next adventures. But, as always, safety first! The annual safety meeting was held…

The group exited just as Hurricane Helene was making its imposing presence felt. It is unbelievable to see what has happened to the area since the rains came. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have…
Stan Brein I’m not sure which riding season I enjoy more, spring or fall. Spring is full of anticipation after a cold winter where there might not have been much riding. The bike has to be coaxed into riding shape and gently nudged back on the road. However, in fall, after a summer’s worth of…
Stan Brein The heat finally hit us in full force—the dog days of August, they are called. While it doesn’t completely suppress riding, it sure limits it. Our only excursion in August was a breakfast ride to My Café in Flower Mound. It is a comfortable restaurant with ample space and a great selection of…
Stan Brein When Robson Ranch Motorcycle Club members look at their watches this time of year, it reads “Angel Fire.” July, one of the two hottest months of the year, has folks packing their rides and heading for the mountains of Northern New Mexico. This year’s journey was captained by Ron Bane, with Mike Conley,…
