Saturday May 30 breakfast, rally, dinner and some type of entertainment. Sunday May 31 breakfast and the send off or the possibility of another unorganized ride. Of course all food and drink is included (Beer, soda, water....Red Bull!)Those that have attended in the past know we love the FOOD part!!! Primative camping available, we do have a bathroom with running water and a flushable toilet. Hot water to wash up in the kitchen area. Hope you all can attend. Not sure of the rides at this time. We have time to work out those details. It is always a great time. Look forward to hearing from you all soon. Post away!!!!!

This years menu.
Friday the meet and greet dinner.
Pasta night. Pasta and a few sauces to choose from, salad, bread, beer, and other liquids.

Saturday breakfast. Eggs, bacon, toast, coffee, juice, the usual good eats.

Saturday lunch specials: Matto Cycle for dogs and other stuff or stop on your ride somewhere.

Saturday night Rally Dinner. Dogs, burgers, Old Timey style pit BBQ Chicken, salads, soups, drinks, etc,etc........ You know the deal if you have been here before. If you go away hungry it's your own fault. All under the pavallion or in the sun if it's a nice day.

Yo dave,

Of course I'm in.

Hey Dave, I've been waiting to see this post. I am hoping to be able to make it this year again. Funds are tight right now, I haven't worked since October due to layoffs. But I need to get away and have some fun.

I'll post it up on SSYSO forum and see how many Vstroms will we can get this year. Hope to use my bike this year although the KLR I used last year was a blast.

I see you've finally been promoted to the Anual Rally Status.

Did you get your 690?

P.S. I'm probably showing up for your fun and games again this year.

1stiski · 01-31-2009, 05:49 AM

I'm already planning a Friday evening road ride (to a special place), and a self guided Saturday ride, along with a guided ride. Oh boy a new year and I hope many new faces. Last year was alot of fun. We had a great day of riding and yes this year, again I will be providing that taste of off road for those who need to dirty up their rig. Lookin forward to the gathering of inmates.

1stiski · 01-31-2009, 06:00 AM

the guided ride

the gathering at Matto Cycle for lunch

Great day of riding. !!!

dgrs2 · 01-31-2009, 06:52 AM

Yes I think 4 years makes it officially an event to be placed in the prestegious area known to the ADVrider group as the Annual Rally zone! Were big boys now. No I did not get a bike yet. I see there is a nice BMW in Alabama. Maybe, maybe..........

flattworks · 01-31-2009, 07:36 AM

It took me a few weeks to fix the bmw after last year.

Camping was fun.

I am going to try and make this again.

dgrs2 · 01-31-2009, 08:00 AM

You better make it! I think I will be doing all less hardcore rides this year. Due to an extremely messed up shoulder.

It didn't get hardcore last year until the end and by that time the group dwindled down. We found some cool single track on broad mountain the Sunday after the ride. I was up there in the summer and saw they put a new gate on the access road up there. What's the story on the gate?

Don't get a BMW. They are best to be ridden on the road and don't play nice with rocks. This statement pressumes you are you are planning on getting a GS to replace your 950.

Hey, what's wrong with bmw? Wait, nevermind.

Eagle rock resorts were trying to buy a big chunk of land but the deal fell through. Sometimes the gates are open.

dgrs2 · 02-03-2009, 09:10 AM

Due to the lack of people behaving correctly on the off road areas around here they are dwindling. People get pissed, throw up no trespassing signs, and walla. You're F*&d!!!

d240t · 02-03-2009, 12:27 PM

Awesome event. If anyone is on the fence, do it. I've been looking forward to it all year.

Dave, I should be able to make it again, but can't commit yet. Lots of stuff going on then and not sure I'll be able to make it out for a weekend. I'll let you know as soon as I can.
