I was under the impression that Covid ended pre-race dealer signings and the teams and riders are in no hurry to bring them back.  Have they returned now?

The factories have not brought back the Friday night open houses at dealerships with the riders. Not sure when or if that will come back.

That’s why I moved down here from central Ohio, but the jokes on me I guess. 79440DDC-328F-46F0-92BF-336C3EBC19B0.png?VersionId=w.0xPaWHEmveJTwSSzDAuF

Up here in the DFW area, it looks like the weather is going to be pretty decent this weekend. This week is a bit brutal as far as Texas weather goes though.

Anyone driving through North Texas over the next couple of days should keep an eye on road conditions. Roads are hockey rinks currently and it's supposed to get worse in some spots tomorrow into Thursday. Hopefully, getting above freezing mid-afternoon on Thursday.

Iowa is one of my favorite states. Used to go Pheasant hunting every year in the 90's. Mason City to Guthrie Center. Never meet a rude person from Iowa. Have a safe trip.

Awesome, best steak I ever bought in my life was at a small restaurant/bar in Menlo. Last time I went the place had closed. Really would like to get back out there but last I knew the Pheasant population was bad.

The stadium is nice...the food wasn't good at all the last time I was there so I'd recommend packing a lunch. But that was a few years ago so someone might correct me.

The zoo or museum district could be good stops.  East downtown just had a write up in the local paper, grafitti park is cool (and good DIY skate spot next to it).  https://www.chron.com/life/travel/article/eado-houston-17442029.php

 

Herman Park Zoo? I grew up in Houston in the 60's. Lived in Bellaire (South Houston). Spent alot of my youth on Galveston Beach.

Yes, it's just called the Houston Zoo now but it's in Herrmann park.  I love Galveston Island, moved here in 88 from SW Houston and never left..

Didn't know there was anyone else on this island that is on Vital!

BTW, for OP, the weather will be decent this weekend 60-70's, so should be pretty nice. Its a nice stadium and good supercross to attend, and Ive been to several different ones throughout the country.  Enjoy!

Non existent, as far as I know.  There may be a few private areas of land that people ride on but other than that you're better off riding on a board (surf/SUP/skate,etc).  Fox88 would probably have more insight.

My wife’s doctor asked me yesterday if we were going.  He bought a suite and had a group going.  We live in one of the big Houston burbs, League City which is down south 35-40 min. from NRG.  I’ll watch from my man cave or maybe garage depending on what I’m working on.  NRG is nice stadium.  Plenty of good places in Houston to eat.  No need to ear stadium food.  Also plenty of places to party in Houston on the Richmond strip, glad those days for me are over.  Not sure how I lived through all those years of working in Houston, taking customers out to drink and party.  It was fun but glad those days are over!!

I don't ride anymore unfortunately, and its been a LONG time.. I still skate and surf as much as possible though!  No riding that I'm aware of.  My neighbor used to rip his YZ 250 down the beach all the way to San Luis Pass sand dunes back in the day, no chance at that anymore.. still some trails at San Luis but illegal, basically 4x4 stuff.
