<p class=MsoNormal>Ladies and Gentlemen,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have been contacted by Texas HOTH Coordinator Debbie
Horton regarding a lady named Amy Rubin, who is making a solo motorcycle ride
from Travis AFB in California to Barksdale AFB in Shreveport. This is a
Military Education Awareness Ride where she will be presenting a check at Air
Force Bases along her route. Ms. Rubin contacted the PGR state captains
along her route asking for some company along the way. In the case of
Texas, this request was passed to Ms. Horton, who contacted the Deputy State
Captains in the areas along Ms. Rubin’s chosen path.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The PGR riders in the Panhandle region will be picking Ms.
Rubin up as she enters Texas and taking her to Wichita Falls, where she will
stop and make a presentation there. Our North Texas region riders in
Wichita Falls have volunteered to escort Ms. Rubin to Decatur, in Wise
County. We all consider it very poor form to allow a lady to ride such a
distance (and for such a cause) in Texas unaccompanied so we are looking to
join her in Decatur and ride with her to a point as yet undetermined where we
may be able to meet with PGR riders from E. TX to accompany her along on her
way.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>She will be making her way through our area on Sunday, June
14, 2009. The time she will be leaving Wichita Falls has yet to be
determined. She is planning to make the entire last leg of her
ride…all the way to Shreveport…on Sunday. The current
thinking is for one person or group to meet her in Decatur and perhaps another
in the Mesquite area to continue along with her to a point where the E. TX
region can pick her up. I am told she prefers to run the speed limit so
running of big flags will be at your discretion, but if the speed limit is 70
mph I am told that this is the speed we will be going.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Pertinent e-mails received to this point and a link to her
route are below. Further details will be forthcoming as they are known.
All are welcome to join as we assist her in her trip across Texas.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>=============================================================================<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have put together a quick trip-map for you: <a
href="http://www.mapquest.com/mq/9-4PnU0*8vbPBU1qhr4V3">http://www.mapquest.com/mq/9-4PnU0*8vbPBU1qhr4V3</a>
I will be doing a bit of zig-zagging/backtracking in a few places. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I will be riding alone. As such, I would love it if any
Patriot Rider(s) out there could pick up the route now and then, as
it will be a long & lonely ride (for a good cause). I will have a tracking
system on my bike, so anyone can check to see where I am during the ride via a
website...which I will provide later. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please let me know if you have any other questions. <o:p></o:p></p>
