rookie06, did you get your RAT Ride in? If not, you're welcome to join us on the RAT Before The BAT which DarkoDanny linked to:
http://mctourer.com/rides/2018/RAT/
This is intended to be a ride leading up to the IBA's Big As Texas party, and riders who successfully complete the RAT Before The BAT will have their certificates presented during the BAT party. Registration is now open, and we'll take care of the paperwork as much as is possible to make the ride just a good fun ride.
Riders who can't make the BAT are still welcome on the RAT Before The BAT, and we'll see that you get your certificate mailed to you.
