Were you with the guy that busted his clutch cover on the way up? Yep. That's me. Have a good picture of you up there
Yes, I have posted my request for a kitchen pass. Although, the wifey has the hots for the new Baja 950. I'd be happy to give her a ride to CO some we could ride one.
We only got one boys, Mahogany Ridge. Just broke ground on a new micro brewery last week. Not sure it will be open by rally time. Lucky, Colorado is home to some of the best micr brews in the country.
Sweet! I plan to be there too. Maybe PaulC and Jill, Aaron, Steve, Chris, my cousin Russ (from Canada) too. Would be great to see Wans, and Bartek too from the Bay area. And Radek from Canada too. MZ

This is what I was asble to come up with at the hotel site. The site was a little wonky though and I don't know if I got the KTM pricing. Located a 200 yard walk to the resort village. <TABLE style="WIDTH: 100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR class=ListIntContainerHeader><TD></TD><TD align=center>Per Night</TD><TD>Other Charges</TD><TD align=center>Total</TD><TD></TD><TD></TD></TR><TR class=ListIntContainerRow><TD>Studio / Double Bed and Pullout Couch</TD><TD align=center>$108.00</TD><TD class=BookColumn>$27.00<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Lodging Fee:</TD><TD>$27.00</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD align=center>$567.00 </TD><TD class=BookColumn>Add To My Plan</TD><TD> </TD></TR><TR class=ListIntContainerAlternatingRow><TD>Standard Room / 2 Queen Beds</TD><TD align=center>$116.00</TD><TD class=BookColumn>$29.00<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Lodging Fee:</TD><TD>$29.00</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD align=center>$609.00 </TD><TD class=BookColumn>Add To My Plan</TD><TD> </TD></TR><TR class=ListIntContainerRow><TD>Deluxe Room / King Bed</TD><TD align=center>$121.00</TD><TD class=BookColumn>$30.25<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Lodging Fee:</TD><TD>$30.25</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD align=center>$635.25 </TD><TD class=BookColumn>Add To My Plan</TD><TD> </TD></TR><TR class=ListIntContainerAlternatingRow><TD>1 Bedroom / 1 Bath</TD><TD align=center>$148.00</TD><TD class=BookColumn>$37.00<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Lodging Fee:</TD><TD>$37.00</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD align=center>$777.00 </TD><TD class=BookColumn>Add To My Plan</TD><TD> </TD></TR><TR class=ListIntContainerRow><TD>1 Bedroom / Double Queen / 2 Bath</TD><TD align=center>$161.00</TD><TD class=BookColumn>$40.25<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Lodging Fee:</TD><TD>$40.25</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD align=center>$845.25 </TD><TD class=BookColumn>Add To My Plan</TD><TD> </TD></TR><TR class=ListIntContainerAlternatingRow><TD>1 Bedroom / Grand King / 2 Bath</TD><TD align=center>$165.00</TD><TD class=BookColumn>$41.25<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Lodging Fee:</TD><TD>$41.25</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD align=center>$866.25 </TD><TD class=BookColumn>Add To My Plan</TD><TD> </TD></TR><TR class=ListIntContainerRow><TD>2 Bedroom / 2 Bath </TD><TD align=center>$206.00</TD><TD class=BookColumn>$51.50<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Lodging Fee:</TD><TD>$51.50</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD align=center>$1,081.50 </TD><TD class=BookColumn>Add To My Plan</TD><TD> </TD></TR><TR class=ListIntContainerAlternatingRow><TD>2 Bedroom / Grand Deluxe / 3 Bath</TD><TD align=center>$237.00</TD><TD class=BookColumn>$59.25<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Lodging Fee:</TD><TD>$59.25</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD align=center>$1,244.25 </TD><TD class=BookColumn>Add To My Plan</TD><TD> </TD></TR><TR class=ListIntContainerRow><TD>3 Bedroom Penthouse</TD><TD align=center>$570.00</TD><TD class=BookColumn>$142.50<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Lodging Fee:</TD><TD>$142.50</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD align=center>$2,992.50 </TD><TD class=BookColumn>Call To BookContact Steamboat Grand Reservations 1-877-230-2628 (toll-free)</TD><TD> </TD></TR><TR class=ListIntContainerAlternatingRow><TD>4 Bedroom Penthouse (Sleeps 10)</TD><TD align=center>$708.00</TD><TD class=BookColumn>$177.00<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Lodging Fee:</TD><TD>$177.00</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD align=center>$3,717.00 </TD><TD class=BookColumn>Call To BookContact Steamboat Grand Reservations 1-877-230-2628 (toll-free)</TD><TD></TD></TR><TR class=ListIntContainerRow><TD>5 Bedroom Penthouse (Sleeps 12)</TD><TD align=center>$851.00</TD><TD class=BookColumn>$212.75<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>Lodging Fee:</TD><TD>$212.75</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD align=center>$4,467.75 </TD><TD class=BookColumn>Call To BookContact Steamboat Grand Reservations 1-877-230-2628 (toll-free)</TD><TD></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> Sounds like we need to put together some big groups and start booking the 5 bedroom penthouses.

I liked the location of the last KTM rally in Bend. It was an outdoor setting. You could walk around the entire weekend in your motorcycle gear and boots and think nothing of it. In fact I would have been happy in a campsite after recouping in a resort bed for a night, but the campsites were too far removed from the event. That Steamboat Grand Hotel looks HUGE. It looks like a great location to bring the family. But it's not exactly a place I want to lumber around in riding gear all weekend, clomping down long hallways in the morning while pissing off the sleeping non KTM participants. I know the KTM organizers have a tough job and want to look forward to a nice relaxing resort. I myself prefer something that straddles the line between rustic and resort. I'm curious what the local riders think of this set up.
I think, that they think,.... that this should be posh and comfortable, like a BMW Rally, not rowdy and hooliganistic, like a KTM Rally. Where's the campfire pit at the fruggin' Hotel? I don't need a TV or a jacuzzi,...just some ice...
Thought I might be in the area ---------but since this is a hotel gig---------I'll make sure I go somewhere else. Was hoping for something out in the middle of nowhere with no amenities. Too fancy for me---and I don't do reservations. Dang---was wanting to hang out with the big boys for a bit. BigDog
