EOM 2021 Event Thread - Sept 16-19, 2021 - Flatwoods, WV

[extrememarine]

Glad to see interest picking up!

Lee, Jim and Bob are stitching together some fine riding options for the area - should be a great mix of twisty and scenic roads.

There are still rooms available in the room block at the group rate.

I'm debating the tire thing myself.

I always wind up debating the tire thing.  But this time I'm pretty sure.

1500 mi there and back plus riding around West Virginia.

Do I have enough tread left?

And no I don't know how many are on the tires now.

Then that little voice in my head talks about  Better safe then sorry.

Do you have a tread depth gauge?  

I know my tires will last very well just traveling, but I don't know what to expect there.  If we do any spirited riding I could be pushing my luck.  I have the Michelins lying in my shop now.  I'll endeavor to wear my current tires out before then and get them mounted.

I used to do that - and end up at Ironpony in Columbus on Sunday afternoon getting a tire on the way home.  If you change them yourself. the cost of one tire on the road is likely the cost of a set or two done at home.

Routes are polished up - if you bump into LeeDavis or Jim (spklbuk), buy them an adult beverage...  I will get the route package set up on the EOM website and post when they are ready - target date for that is no later than August 15th.

The clock is ticking and EOM is approaching. I would be remiss in my duties if I did not put out a reminder - bring yer Hawaiian shirt for Saturday night. Hell - bring two, one for Friday AND one for Saturday, if you're wild AND crazy!

If you are new to EOM or haven't been to EOM in a while, we do the Hawaiian shirt thing in rememberance of Don Stanley, AKA beemerdons on this board. For more information aboot Don, track down me or one of the old timers and we'll happily fill you in.

Two more for the 16th, from Maine. Joe and Julie pushed me over the edge. Plus the sweetie on the phone at the motel was to die for. How could I say no.  Yankees coming, b-atches!!!!!
