The day began with rain and thunderstorms as we arrived at Midlothian Stadium.  After the briefing, we seperated the bikes with small fuel capacity, and sent them on to Waco for fuel and then on to the Texas State cemetery in Austin to wait our arrival.
The remaining bikes(around 80) prepared for the KSU with the procession for the 200 mile trip.
When we began it was still raining.  The Patriot Guard was up front and was followed by the coach with Chris' and his wife riding up front with the driver.  Five busses followed the coach and then a long line of four wheel vehicles, and then everyone else was followed up with many police units.  As we made our way to Austin, it became very evident that people along the interstate ahead heard and had come out to wave and shout as Chris went by.  There were people and fire trucks on every bridge overpass from Midlothian to Austin.  There were thousnds of people lining the interstate not only in the cities we went through but also out in the country.  There were 1000 upon 1000's of peoplle paying their respects to a true American hero.  The trip took us a little over 3 1/2 hours to get to the Texas State Cemetery in Austin.  It was the most heart renching site you have ever seen and experienced.
When we arrived at the cemetery there were already more than 800+ riders at the Texas State Cemetery as we arrived with Chris.  It was a amazing site to see.  Upon arrival all riders dismounted and we all prepared to stage a flag line to honor Chris.  
The weather began to clear after we left Waco and it made it easier to travel.  However, there were people in the storm and in the sunshine.  It was truly amazing.
After we arrived in Austin, it tool around 30 minutes to get everyone in and get them on the flag line.
I want to thank all those that participated in the mission, and especially the team that put together all the details and made the mission so memorable.
I also want to thank the Centex PGR, who was responsible for the refueling of bikes in Waco.  You did great, thanks.
I want to thank the Austin Patriot Guard for having everything setup when we arrived at the Texas State Cemetery.  You are also an awesome group.  Again this was truly a State of Texas effort in honoring our True American Hero.
Thank you to everyone who had a hand in this mission.
