Kerrville - 3rd week in april (4/19 thru 4/24) has 1 day of rain.
Last week in april (4/26 thru 5/1) looks good and a couple days before and after are clear too.
But friday warms to 83°F

The last week in April would allow Deb and I to come down and ride with you a day or two. We will likely be staying at the D Rose Inn in Leakey Texas. We will want to go and see the bats fly out of the cave one evening, and there is a famous hamburger place near the bat cave where we would like to eat one meal.

We could not leave until until April 26th, and it is a full 2 days worth of driving.....we would be arriving sometime the evening of the 28th.

If you can pick the week you are going soon - it will allow Deb and I to be able to reserve the hotel room.

The last week of april (4/26 thru 5/1) still looks good.
https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/kerrville/78028/april-weather/335918?year=2020

It looks like Verslagen, Lancer, MM, Youzguyz, Springman. Hammer, Dave and Deb.

With Dave and Deb providing their own accommodations.

I reserved cabin #1 as usual. They sleep 4 with room for more. I'll bring my cot for anybody that wants it.

It will be great to meet you and your wife! Cheesy

Leakey is over an hour from the rest of the gang will be staying. I'm not sure why you are staying there.. Huh

Normally, only one ride goes through Leakey, the one to do the 3 sisters.

The bat cave and restaurant you are likely speaking of are the Old Tunnel State Park
https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/old-tunnel
and Alamo Springs Cafe
https://www.facebook.com/alamospringscafe/

You might want to read up on the Bat Tunnel. I don't know how much action you will get at the end of April.. I also doubt that the bats can read a calendar, so it might be a pretty good time!

Alamo Springs Cafe is a lunch stop that the gang always makes during one of the rides. If you are doing the bats, then you will probably be doing dinner there as well. I don't know how crowded it gets at that time.

I need to do a little bit of work and the bike, get the new tires mounted and get it inspected and I am ready. Heck, I even bought a new helmet.

Youzguyz:

We watch the Texas Country Reporter, and we see things that we would like to visit. Some of the shows are a bit dated, and therefore the information is not always up to date.

Yep, the Alamo Springs Cafe' is where we want to. The bats are May through October - so you are right that there are likely no bats in April.

We had wanted to stay in Leaky at the D Rose Inn - Dr. Deb appeared to be our kind of people! Turns out it is no longer motorcycle only, and is called the Historic Leakey Inn.

My Deb cannot stay in a cabin or tent right now - her health issues don't allow her stay in a place that doesn't have a toilet in the room.

The park rents cabins with bunk beds, ac, heat and electricity. The restrooms are close by. You and Deb could get a cabin for yourselves.

I just discussed that with Deb - she needs a place to stay with a bathroom next to the bedroom.

Dave,
Alamo Springs Cafe is no longer owned by Mike Tangman. While still a good place to eat, it is not as good as it was.. in my eyes.. or stomach. Sold it about a year ago.
Mike is sort of a friend of mine. Back then, I would get there a bit before they opened, and always parked my bike in the same spot. If Mike saw me outside, he would start my order (he knew what I was going to get) and tell me to come inside. He would sit with me and talk for a while. Usually ate half my cheese sticks, then took them off the bill. Had Sirius Classic Rewind or Classic Vinyl playing all the time.
New owner. Fired all the old help. Country Western music. No more pumpernickel bread for my burger.
The menu is probably much the same.. it just isn't the same place. We will have a lunch there though.
Also at HillBillyz.. Billy is another "friend" of mine.

I'm sure there are "motorcycle friendly" places to stay in or around Kerrville.
A quick search came up with this:
https://www.her-motorcycle.com/hunter-house-inn-and-suitesingram-tx.html
I don't know old the review is, but the business is still there.
A bit down the road from where the cabins are.. but not horrible far.
You could probably find a motel/hotel in Kerrville proper that would suit your needs.

If there are places that you or Deb want to go and see, let me know so I can put them "on route". Cheesy

"Stone-HINGE"??? Really MM? Roll Eyes
