SW-FOG will be held in Salida, CO this year. Central to many many great rides! The town of Salida itself is nothing to write home about, but this it is geographically located in a great part of the state if motorbiking is your idea of fun. Buena Vista was my first choice, but it's much more expensive and the two hotels that could accommodate the size of our group didn't seem interested in having us.
Salida, on the other hand, I've narrowed down to two hotels, both of which are very excited at the prospect of having a large motorcycling group to give them money
I have a question for the masses: What date options work best? Historically, SW-FOG has been held over four days, with the first and last day being arrival and departure days, respectively. However, I know riding in Colorado is on a lot of people's bucket lists, so I'd be willing to go out a day earlier and have an extra day of organized rides. What's the general consensus (obviously, if you can't make the extra day yourself, you can always arrive on Thursday instead of Wednesday).
Next variable is which weekend? I didn't want to get into September as that can start to get dicey in the Colorado Mountains and some fall snow storms. The two "missing" weekends from the poll question are missing for good reason. The first is Gold Rush days, the second would fall during the US Pro Cycling Challenge.
What say you?
The votes are in!
SW-FOG 2012 will be held from July 19-22. The only thing that remains is to double check with the motel(s) to ensure they will have availability (I've already contacted both of them, waiting to hear back), and make a final decision on which motel to choose!
I'll be creating a new "official" thread once I get this final confirmation, and of course will update the website as well.
