This event gathers the Facebook group Texas Elite Bikers together for an in-person meet-up, however, all bikers are welcome to attend this event. You may have heard of Texas Elite Bikers by its previous name of Southeast Texas Power Riders. Since the group has expanded to include members across Texas and even the country, the name changed to reflect its wider audience.

On Thursday, bring a dish for the potluck dinner when everyone gets to meet and greet the attendees at Mansfield Park. The following morning, be ready to meet at Mansfield Park again at 10 a.m. for a required safety meeting. Everyone will then set out for a ride through the Hill Country at 10:30 a.m. You’ll get to roam the beautiful Hill Country in the fall as you travel through Bandera, Concan, Medina, and Sabinal. And since no one can pass through Medina without stopping at The Apple Store, the group will make a stop there in the afternoon. Saturday brings the Lace, Grace, and Gears Rally and the chance to break a world record.

If you want a spot in the Lace, Grace, and Gears Rally on September 30, you need to register to be included in the Parade of Sisters. The Parade of Sisters lines up for an official world record count at 9 a.m., and the parade kicks off at 11:30 a.m. This rally seeks to bring 5,000 female riders into the same location to break the world record. The current record stands at 1,002. Will you sign up to help shatter that record? Even if the official count falls short, this is still a chance for female motorcyclists to meet others who also enjoy their love of the open road.
