It that time of year people...............time for another Hill Country Run. Everyone keeps asking about a date, so it is set, Saturday November 11th beginning at 11:30 am.
Same as the previous runs, we will leave the Albertson's parking lot at "The Y" in Oak Hill, leaving at 11:30 am...............................the run will return to "the Y" at 6pm in time for the Saturday Cruise Nights that are held in the Albertson's parking lot. Check back on this thread for details on Saturday's route and activities. I'm sure there will be a caravan later in the evening for dinner at Bone Daddies or something.
Sunday will not have a full cruise planned, however we will all meet up again at "the Y" at noon and make a short cruise over to the SaltLick for BBQ, then everyone can make their roadtrips home from there.
Mark your calendars and remember, all are welcome.....................
Hotel Information:
For those coming in from out of town. For previous Austin Meets, most guys stayed here and shared rooms. It is really close to the meeting spot in Oak Hill. It was previously owned by Ramada Inn, now the Oak Inn.

Saturday and Sunday's Meeting Spot:
Directions to the Albertsons are really easy, from IH-35 south of downtown Austin, follow signs for Highways 290 West & 71 West towards Johnson City..............eventually the freeway will end and turn into a 4 lane highway, go through 2 more lights and Highway 71 will branch off to the west and Hwy 290 will continue in a southwest direction. This branch is known as "the Y", there is an Albertson's at that intersection where we will meet.
From the Albertsons we will head over to "290 West" for lunch before we hit the road. It is just 6 miles from "the Y". If anyone is running late, they can catch us at "290 West", we will leave there for the cruise about 1pm. There is also an Exxon next door to the Bar and Grill, so we can all fill up before we head out.
The "290 West" phone number is (512) 288-0808. They are located 6 miles past the Y in Oak Hill at 12013 US 290 West. If your coming out of Austin it will be on your left hand side just past McCoy's. Look for the big 290 West neon sign in the sky.
