The Chapter will offer two different ways to participate in this event:
A group of Chapter members will meet at 5:00 am at Mancuso Harley-Davidson Crossroads and depart on a 45-minute ride to New Caney. Once we arrive in New Caney, we will join other motorcycle riders from Southeast Texas to form a rolling escort for the trucks carrying the wreaths. This police-escorted procession will travel to the Houston National Cemetery to be met by thousands of attendees. We hope you will join us as we honor our American military. The motorcycle escort is open to all riders – free of charge! After we have completed the escort ride to the cemetery…
We will meet up at 7:30 am at the Denny's Restaurant at 12697 North Gessner Drive for breakfast. After breakfast (approximate KSU will be at 9:30), we will ride as a group to the Houston National Cemetery at 10410 Veterans Memorial Drive. The ceremony will take place beginning at 11:00 am.

 

Substance use identified during any Chapter ride will result in expulsion from that ride.
