SW-FOG 2013 - Official Announcement

[phroenips]

160 days and counting!

So I just got a call from the Gateway Inn. Turns out there's two more events happening that same weekend (a wedding and some sort of local Salida event) which equates to a limited number of rooms available!

Since we're a returning group, they've offered to block off some rooms for us. I asked for 18 rooms, the same number we had last year. While the rooms are blocked, the room/bed types (single or double) are not, so be sure to call the hotel and make your reservations to get a room of your choice! (Note: the block will be lifted 30 days prior to SW-FOG)

ask for the yamaha group

As of a few minutes ago, we only had two rooms reserved. Mine, and "David 06fjr"

How much are the dinners? I see where we can pay by Pay Pal but where the cost? Or am I suffering from a reading comprehension thing?

 

[phroenips]

nope, reading comprehension is fine (at least this time

)

Restaurants weren't ready to discuss details of the meals, ergo, I don't have a price yet. I updated the website to temporarily remove the paypal instruction section to reduce confusion (you're not the first to ask)

My room was booked on-line Jan 4, 2013 and likely the hotel was not aware I am with the group.

Looking forward to this event and riding the Rockies.

 

[pegscraper]

Stay tuned for latest developments.

Attending or not?

Might have to check out possible retirement in the area.

Hmmmmmm

 

[HotRodZilla]

Reserved a room tonight. Kinda ****** up, but we're in.

 

[blufjr]

Booked a room today. It is a dbl, if any singles want to trade, let me know.

 

[Longrider]

Booked a room today. They told me very few rooms were left. Had to take a smoking room to get a single downstairs. No problem, I'll just make do.

Looking to be there. Sorry I missed last year, but "maintenance" on me was necessary. That broke my string of having attended all SW-FOG's.

Now for Spring to arrive.

Might be a good place to go on my new FJR. Now, you guys won't get all crude and stuff with my wife if she shows up on her Spyder, will ya?

 

[airboss]

Yep

but I'm crude by nature, so it's just me.

 

[phroenips]

I'm sure we'll all be crude, but it'll have nothing to do with the Spyder

 

[kbuckey]

Sounds like my kinda people - in which case I'll have to see if Spyder Woman'll go anyway!

 

[phroenips]

Only 90 days to go!

btw, in case you haven't seen it, I'm stepping down as rallymaster next year. See here for an opportunity if you want to take the reigns: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/151135-stepping-down-as-sw-fog-rallymaster-for-2014/

 

[TellurideFJR]

Going to make it this year.

 

[Niehart]

Going to make it this year.

Hey friend, good to see your still making miles!

 

[Fontanaman]

Going to make it this year.

I will see you there. Looking forward to it and maybe you can give me some pointers on the best local roads.

 

[phroenips]

Less than two months to go!

We have five rooms left in our reserved block. Get them while you can and before they release them! I just spoke with them, and they said if you're still thinking about it, they would prefer you go ahead and reserve and you can always cancel later without penalty.

 

[airboss]

There are 4 rooms left, just booked mine.

 

[Spud]

I just booked too....Telluride I'm bringing a flask of something good to help make the evening parking lot more interesting
