Once upon a time, not so very long ago, Dinero issued the invitation, and a very special group of folks came together in Junction, Texas. There was Dinero and Tailgunner, LittleBear and phreak, txhawg and submike, Shelley Belle, Sparky and ms_t. We gathered at the Lazy T and on Saturday rode out into the beautiful Texas Hill Country. We traversed raging low water crossings, we encountered kangaroos and peacocks and then, as we climbed the sacred RR 337, the clouds covered the sky above us. Up, up, the gallant steeds climbed, until, as we reached the summit, we touched the very clouds themselves. Upon decension from the magical apex of the 337, there was much grumbling from the daring knights who braved the dense cloud. But ms-t was enthralled and said to the knights, "How many times will you get the chance to say you rode a cloud?" Sir phreak then spoke, "Cloudriders. We are Cloudriders!" And so we were born. You may view the story and ceremony here:
The first weekend in May (and sometimes in September) we return to Junction, bringing those brave enough to join us, and once again, ride the clouds on RR 337. Each new member must ride the 337 with a Cloudrider and then be initiated and annointed with the elixer from the crystal chalice.
Thank you Mega, for giving us a home forum and our own special place to plan our rides.
High Priestess of the Cloudriders
