Why so early in the year?
Spring is a beautiful season in Texas with an abundance of wildflowers and moderate temperatures.  While summer may be the most common time to schedule a randonee, the brutal heat of the Texas summer would make this ride extremely difficult and potentially dangerous.  It is the goal of the organizers to offer a ride that showcases the state of Texas, not to create a death march.
