I called the Caldwell Best Western today to get a room rate, have to call back Friday when manager comes back. Looks like this is close to 78 and I77. Wll reserve a block of 10-15 rooms penalty free but hopfuly get a good rate. Will post up Friday with hotel info. Plan is to arrive friday pm, then ride all day Saturday 24th and half day Sunday before cruising back up north. Have family in town this weekend so cannot join the fast jump down this Saturday.

I'm in...room reserved for Friday night...I'll be riding home after Saturday's ride :drinks: :thumbsupsmileyanim:

I should be in for Sunday. What time are you heading out?

No room needed.

Weather calling for 66 with 60% chance rain on Saturday. 70 with 40% chance Sunday.

78 is in pretty good shape between Caldwell and Bishopville. 555 is still bad between Ringold and Chesterhill.

I haven't ventured much further in the past few weeks.

Several of us are leaving Cleveand area around 3-4 Friday evening - taking 77 doiwn to 800, then back roads to the hotel if posssible.

Crap - just relooked at the weather - 70% chance thundersorms saturday, 80% Sunday, with foul weather going all the way back west of kansas. I really really want to do this. I also don't want to spend the entire time driving in 1 down pour after another on curvy roads. What is the consenus? I am leaning towards postponing to another time. I have a lot to do to get my boat in the water but really want this ride so was willing to take the weekend off. But if it is going to storm the entire time then may not be worth it. However the UV forcast is supposed to be moderate saturday and high sunday so there should be some dry between storms.

My heart says go, head says don't. What do the rest of you think? :angry2:
