[CraigRegs]

Here's an overview of what's happening when at CFO:

Registration open - 1:00pm to 6:00pm
Ride, Ride, Ride - All day long

Group dinner at Huck Finn's on the Water - 7pm
Friday 9/11
Ride, Ride, Ride - All day long
Registration open - 8am to 12 noon
Group photo - 5:45pm Days Inn parking lot

Beer/whiskey/wine/beverage exchange - Parking lot or Jacuzzi suite TBD

Saturday 9/12
2Brothers Powersports Open house – 9am
Ride, Ride, Ride - All day long
Social hour – 6:00pm
Banquet – 7:00pm
Swag Distribution – After dinner

My goal is to raise a bunch of money for Eddie's Road again this year, so come prepared to help out this worthwhile organization. As in years past, we will raffle off the first draw of all of the swag on Saturday, but tickets will be for sale all weekend, not just before the banquet. There will also be a "good karma" box floating about,in which donations can be made with hopes of bringing good karma all weekend long.

If you can't make the registration windows on Thursday or Friday, don't sweat it; the only major item to claim is the ticket to the Saturday banquet, and I can get that and your registration materials to you anytime I'm back at the hotel.

More details added to this thread as warranted.

I'm getting pumped for CFO. Life has been too busy for motorcycling other than commuting.

I would have liked to attend but I had already signed up and paid money for a Muscle Car Adventure weekend in the Dells. Home base is the Chula Vista resort with a lot of muscle car driving Friday and Saturday. Be on the look out as you may encounter some muscle cars (new and old) speeding around the same area you guys may be riding. Be safe and have a great weekend. I'm certainly looking forward to my time driving my muscle car.

From our friends at 2Brothers. This happens Saturday morning!

Quick poll of attendees:

My goal is to raise a bunch of money for Eddie's Road this year. In years past, we have raffled off the first draw of all of the swag. My thought for this year: Raffle off the first THREE (3) draws of the swag, meaning someone could, theoretically, get the first three choices of everything on the table. All in the name of selling more tix and raising more $$. After that, we will draw names from the hat until everyone has had a go, then go back through the names again.

Thoughts, please. Decision of the rallymaster will be final.

As long as they stay on their side of the road, all is cool!

What's your muscle car? We'll keep a look out!

Can't speak for everyone else but I'll be on my side of the road. Don't think there will be any issues. I have a 2010 Camaro SS, White with Custom Striping, and with 800hp. Pretty loud exhaust so you'll hear me before you see me.

So I have done this several times in the past but failing this time. I have the routes on my SD card in my Garmin 660 but when I go to my data and try to import routes I do not get the import route option. I think I had this problem one time before and fixed it by changing the name of the file by adding a . before gpx in the title but I am unable to figure it out today.
