No events planned, return home or stay and explore on your own.
POST IF YOU WANT A ROOMMATE TO SAVE COSTS.
If you could, please PM me with your intentions on coming, which days you’ll be there and if you’re staying at the Baymont (to help monitor our group block), your mobile number. Feel free to send me an emergency number as well.
Other non-FJR sport touring riders are of course welcome.
[SIZE=24pt]UPDATE: Day 1 Long Route and Maps[/SIZE]: Day 1 short route will be similar and will give people flexibility which route to take.

You guys are going to like this one!!
Day 2 TB posted. Looking for good lunch suggestions in Marietta...anyone?
Questions, let me know!
Editor Note: After much thought, I decided the motel would be the best overall choice to stay. Most seemed to prefer it over cabins despite teasingly low rates, cost is not much more if you bunk 2 in a room, easier to organize with less exposure to problems, very close to gas, beer and food, and probably a better post-ride social spot.
Additional Note: This is not a highly organized “rally”. There are no prizes, t-shirts, registrations, banquet halls, bike washed, etc. This is an informal meet of FJR riders with the main purposes of enjoying great hilly roads and socializing in the evenings.
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
