I hate to get a room when I only live an hour away. Day 1 works great for me. My preference might not count as much though since I ride a Kaw 
I'm already commited to a poker run on Saturday so I won't make day 2.

Well so far there are 5 confirmed attendees with 2 riding only one day and 3 staying the hotel. Very small turnout compared to years past?!?
Bad economy? Normally we have a dozen or more riders!
Are you guys OK with moving this to the fall to encourage more participation? Hate to do all the pre-scouting and route finalizing the next few weekends for just a few riders to show.

Sorry to be so vague.

Jeanne and I are planning to arrive sometime Friday afternoon. Stay two nights, leave Sunday morning.
This all depends on our work schedule, and could change a day, one way or another.

Well, I'm out... Graduation is Friday, party on Saturday so that pretty much puts the Kibosh on this for me.
On the other hand my son is graduating with honors, and I'm quite proud. There will be other days to ride
Yall have a blast and take lots of photos.
Oh and no crashing.

So, do we have enough interest to go for it? I am still in 100%. Got new Stradas in the garage to go on before I head out.
If you decide to move to another date, that's OK with me as well. Just don't conflict with the Cats and Daks, WFO, or EOM.

Just booked a room for 3 nights. Looks like pmk6v is coming with me on his 04 FJR.
Anyone do a head count yet ?
See you all there.
Is it June yet ?

Looks like we're going to have to postpone this one. Not a lot of interest compared to years past to justify the needed other actions, mostly scouting for conditions, detours, etc-which takes 2 solid days to complete the planning and ensure the route has safe conditions. Was hoping for 12-20 riders or more.
Sorry for the hastle of having to move things around on your schedules and cancel reservations for those who did. We'll try again another time.
Oh...check post 1 for the other days' routes if you're planning to do the ride anyway. Having a ride leader shouldn't stop you from riding the route now or anytime you want. Do bring a good map for detours and closed bridges, etc...the orange construction barrel is the offical state flower.
Again, sorry for postponing this one...

Thanks for trying to pull this together Mike. I canceled my hotel reservation and I'll do some nice long day rides near home instead. I'll keep an eye out in case the ramble comes back to life at a later date. Otherwise, I'll see you at EOM.

I finish with 2 weeks of stressful stuff at work on 6/4 :yahoo:
Therefore, I'm still planning on riding most of the route on the 5th :biggrinsmiley: I do appreciate the effort to put something like this together, it takes plenty of time, which is hard to find now adays.
As far as road conditions go, I've ridden most of the Northern half of the Friday route in the past 6 weeks. I didn't come across anything major.
Take care, Bryan.
