Here are the scheduled club rides for 2023 for the East Texas BMW Plus Motorcycle Club (Plus means other rides welcome).
This is sort of a tour of East Texas Lakes. We have at least another eight watery venues if we want to do this again in 2024.
Important Note: We will meet up at Whataburger in Jacksonville (627 S Jackson St, Jacksonville, TX 75766) for all club rides that start in Jacksonville. We are no longer meeting up at Legends. Whataburger has a nice level parking lot and we can all get out on the street together through the traffic light.
