You will enter either the south of north toll booth and proceed to parking lot area E-5.  We will stage at E-5 parking lot area at the south end of DFW Airport.  Directions will be printed below.  After a riders briefing, you will be divided into platoons with ride captains and assigned a bus to escort to and from the Sheraton in downtown Dallas.  Be early, if you miss the briefing you will not be able to escort without seeing me (Larry).  After we are on station we will move riders and busses to terminal C, gate 2 as they are needed to pickup families bound for the Sheraton.  You will help load baggage for their trip to the Sheraton.  After helping to unload baggage at the Sheraton you will return to E-5 parking area to get ready for the next bus load.  If you need to leave the platoon formation for any reason, clear it with your platoon Ride Captain.  We need to keep track of all the riders.  There will be a ride captain in charge of each platoon for each turn around.  We will not have LEO participation in this escort to and from the hotel.  Therefore, it is imparative that all riders adhere to the NTXPGR safety SOP.  If you have already registered for the escort portion then you agree with those operating procedures.  These procedures are for your protection as well as the riders around you, and the busses and the families.  All riders will be asked to sign a acknowledgement and liabilty form during the riders briefing.  With ten busses and over 150 riders, safety is our first and foremost concern.  Traffic will vary going to downtown Dallas at various times of the day.  A tight formation will be necessary.  Tight enough to discourage anyone from trying to pass through an escort.  However, there is always some who will try anyway, let them in, they will get out soon enough, then you can tighten back up and continue. If you are unable to sign the release then you will be unable to participate in this exciting day.  If you are not comfortable riding in a tight formation according to NTXPGR SOP, then see me at the staging area, there are addition jobs that you can help with. If you have a working CB radio on your bike I need to know that when you sign the liabilty form.  We will only use bikes for the escort of the busses on arrival day.  Use big flags if you have them.  
Cage riders need to see me after the riders briefing, again there are others things we need help with. 
The ride captian in each platoon has the authority to remove a rider if he or she thinks there is a safety issue.
Lets make this a very safe time for all concern.
REMEMBER, IT IS ABOUT THE FAMILIES.  LET'S MAKE IT SAFE FOR EVERYONE.
ALL RIDE CAPTAINS WILL MEET WITH FOR A CAPTAIN MEETING AT 9:45am AT THE STAGING BUILDING AT E-5 PARKING AREA.
As of this itinerary, preregistration for the escort arrival day has passed.  IF you have already registered before the deadline ended, I will see you at the staging area on the 9th.  If not there are four more days we can use your participation. Additional itineraries will provide other opportunities this week. 
In the event that we have a KIA, then we will stand down whatever portion of the Snowball that is scheduled at that time.  Our first priority will be and always has been KIA's.
Thanks in advance for helping to make this projest safe and fun for the families.  (Put in extra kleenix, your going to need it)
