We changed the name of the Indiana Cookout to the Founder's Feast in order to allow us to move the event from year to year. This will be the first year for the move and we have elected to hold the Founder's Feast in conjunction with the Inaugural Ride Around Texas (RAT), which will be a new Iron Butt Association ride.

Our original plan was to make the RAT the centerpiece of the 2005 Poker Run From Hell. Hurricane Katrina, decided to flood a significant portion of the route and we made the difficult decision to cancel the event. As we looked at this years calendar, we felt that it was important to include the RAT and decided that combining it with the Founder's Feast would be a terrific combination.

The host city will be Texarkana, Texas. Whether you are doing the RAT, the 6 hour Rally, the 24 hour Rally, or just joining us for some BBQ and Awards Presentation you are in for some terrific riding.
