East Texas Sidecar Muster April 17-19, 2026
The East Texas Spring Muster for sidecar enthusiasts and friends is scheduled for April 17-19, 2026, in Nacogdoches, Texas.
Plans include a Saturday morning visit to the Azalea Gardens at Stephen F. Austin University, with an introduction from the Director of the Gardens, Dave Creech, who, back in the '70's owned a raked Triumph 650 easy rider machine of epic beauty...until he wrecked it near Madisonville, and a visit to the nearby Millard's Crossing Historic Village.
Unfortunately, we have not been able to locate our customary lodging with rv spots/cabins in one location, so we'll have to "motel it" this time.
Primary lodging and rally central is at the Days Inn at 2724 North Street (Business 59) in Nacogdoches: 936-585-8189; and
Alternative lodging is next door at the Continental Inn at 2728 North Street: 936-585-8189.
The nearest RV Park is Western Pines 3.5 miles Northwest at 5001 NW Stallings Drive (59 By-Pass): 936-585-8189.
There are numerous restaurants within 5 blocks of the motels, so, although we'll have to forego a dinner-on-the-grounds, we should have sufficient options for fellowship meals. Should we prefer a group ride out in the country, we might be able to incorporate a ride to one of my favorite restaurants, the Alexander Burger Company 20 miles Northwest in Cushing.
We'll post a more detailed schedule as the times are confirmed, perhaps incorporating Friday lunch meet-ups on our journey to Nacogdoches.
P.S. for James S: SFA has home baseball games scheduled for that weekend!

I plan on leaving Monroe around lunch Friday.
NM is on the road, heading to the hill country first, Aurora and I will be in Nacogdoches Thursday or Friday. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
