SW-FOG 2013 - Official Announcement

[phroenips]

If all else fails, there's a liquor store right across the street

 

[HotRodZilla]

Man...If a flask lasts you more than 10 seconds, you're either a poor drinker, or you have cheap whisky. Thank goodness for the store across the street.

 

[Spud]

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

Hey buddy--- make sure you look me up. I'll be on the odd looking FJR.

Yes zzzzip it will be good to see you again. Such fond memories of the last time I saw you....sitting in the pouring rain with our bikes turned off waiting for those lazy *** customs agents to wake up and open the border crossing going home from NAFO

I'm still not sure why you guys had to unpack your bikes and open everything, when my check pretty much consisted of, "What's in the bag?" "Stuff. Want me to unpack them?" "Nah."

The younger agent did take umbrage over the fact that by my admission my prescription drugs were not in their prescription containers. Looking back on it, I can see where having Lipitor in a PEZ dispenser could be of concern to national security.

I've just updated the SW-FOG webpage with group dinner information, including instructions on how to pre-pay (finally!)

[phroenips]

We've got a couple of sponsors! That means DOOR PRIZES!!!

Apex Sports and Rocky Mountain Cycle Plaza in Colorado Springs have both donated some goodies to SW-FOG. A $25 gift certificate to RMCP, and Apex gave us a hoodie and a leather vest.

Hotel update: only 2 rooms left in our block. They expire (along with our group rate) on May 20. If you haven't reserved yet, do it now (you can always cancel the hotel later)

 

[Greb]

I'm going, tried registering but web page is giving an error after completing registration info.. Mark me down for the dinners. Looking forward to it

 

[Greb]

Registration is in, website is all good today

 

[phroenips]

Good news: Independence Pass will open on schedule this weekend!

A buddy of mine (yes, I actually have a friend) has decided to ride out with me to check this meet out. Please add QuickKen on his Kawasaki to the rider's list. He hangs out with FJR riders, so he is semi-OK........ for a Kawasaki rider.

The Kawasaki rider won't be making it after all, so you can remove him from your list.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Well, you know what they say about those Kawasaki riders...ok, I don't know either, but it sounded good

 

[HotRodZilla]

Dammit...Now I can't find it. What is the last day to pay for dinner(s)? There's a slight possibility we may have to cancel, so I'm waiting until the last minute to pay up.

It's on the "dinners" page of the sw-fog website: https://www.sw-fog.com/dinner.php

I've extended it to June 14 (it was June 7)

 

[HotRodZilla]

Ok...I was thinking June 6th. We'll know for sure before the 14th.

Thanks!!

 

[phroenips]

bump for meal payment. I've only received meal payments from five people so far. Unless it picks up in the next week or so, I don't think we'll have enough committed people to make a group meal worth it for the restaurants

Instructions here: https://www.sw-fog.com/dinner.php

 

[Justin]

I'm local and can make it down for one of the dinners if that would help

Busy month, so can't commit the whole weekend. Any price other than the cost of the dinner?

Nope, no other cost. And the only reason I'm having people pre-pay for the dinner is so I have a more accurate headcount to give the restaurants (last year we only had about half the number of people show up who said they were going to...it ended up working out ok for the restaurant, but I still felt bad)

 

[HotRodZilla]

Dude...If not enough people pre-pay, just announce where we're gonna eat. People can show up and order their own food and pay their bill. Easy enough!
