There will be no better place to be, or no better party in 2010 than the TWFix Southern Rally!

So what your saying is if we want to mix coke with jack we have to buy our soda from you????

If you are mixing it at The Lodge, yes. We also have can/bottle cokes and other items for sale in the gift shop for your emergency mixing needs. Cabins do have refrigerator, so you have plenty of storage if you are staying in one. Great question.

how many bed rooms in cabins, specifically hot tub cabins

I think that's IF you are hanging out in the lodge common area/lounge/bar, what you do in your room is your business, I'd imagine. I'd imagine that they don't want you bringing in soda to the "bar" area besides, they have to pay the people working the lodge area somehow...

Here's how it probably works...

You show up at the door with a bottle of Jack and give it to the "bar tender" and they put your name on it. Whenever you want a drink you pay a waitress or the bartender a buck or two to mix it/bring it to you. It's the same at totally nude strip joints in some parts of the country...

Aw I'm too slow!!!

Damn, you're quick!!! Hey Dave, I guess me, you, TL and my Gf are splitting a hot tub cabin right?:rockwoot:

All Cabins have one bedroom with a full or queen bed.

All have sleeper sofas - either full or queen.

All Elite have EITHER a Loft with a Full/Twin or Twin/Twin, OR a Bunk room with Twin/Twin.

If you have a preference, please just list this in Special Requests and we will do our best to accommodate.

To answer the alcohol question, yes, Tigger is right. What you do in your room or your cabin is your business. Hell, we even let you have your coolers/mixers out by the pool with no glass. BUT, when you are in the bar or in the Lodge - you must get your mixers from us. Sorry, hopefully one day this area of the country will wake the eff up and realize this is 2010.

Great questions.

Okay, so it's $160 per night for 4 people to stay in a Elite cabin or $100 per night for two people to stay in a room...cool!

Yo Dave, are you in bro? I'll make the reservation and deposit asap....

If you can get 4 people in a cabin, it's $40 per night each. If you have two people in a room, it's $50 each...basically.

dogs in cabin are ok?
(im just covering my bases in case i cant find someone to watch them, im not saying for sure im bringing anything other then my buell, just yet)

So it is $240 for the week we are gonna be there?

Please keep this thread empty of useless talk, copperhead doesn't have time to sort through our BS and only legit posts/questions will not be deleted from this thread.

Just so we're clear, what are the exact rally dates? I tried to book from Thurs through the next Sunday (about 10 days)and it wouldn't let me...

Fred, I will see about booking a cabin tomorrow or friday. I posted in the NE section so we can figure out some particulars since guys may be bringing their SO's.

I would contact copperhead directly. The main rally days are the weekend of the 4th-6th. I am staying 3rd - 6th.

Cool, I posted up my travel plans and those of my brother (possibly)


So these are the dates? Based on these dates the price for a 4 man room drops to $180

you can stay as long before or after as you want, that's the official dates.

Does the resort allow campers? Pop up campers?

Tigger - contact me directly, and we'll make your reservations - I'm honoring the rally price for all your days - but the system isn't that flexible - so I'll have to do it for you

Drewpy - yes, dogs at cabin OK, not at Lodge. If I step in dog shit, within 50 feet of your cabin you pay extra :))

Dates of the rally for the group code are 6/3-6/6. Any others outside these dates, refer to comment to Tigger above

Campers are allowed, and are considered "Camping" use group code TWFC - please notate camper in special instructions so we know.

Thanks guys! (and gals)

IM sorry if you mentioned thi already. IF we MAY have an extra person, this can be dealt with when we get there correct?

Yes, if you know you have 3 for a Cabin now- book three. If you add an additional, we can take care of that at check in.

Thanks!

Quoted and wanted to add "...within 50 feet of the lodge..."... I've seen the wrath of Michelle...it aint pretty! :lol

(there is a fabulous 4 wheel trail behind the lodge where I always took my dogs to poo... there is really NO chance she can step in it out there)

...just sayin... :lol:

I am VERY Tempted to bring my furbabies...if only because for once they are allowed!

Looks like several of you have claimed your spot...and I've not heard of any issues - so hopefully everyone is having success with booking. Please let me know if there are any questions. As we develop the entertainment calendar I'll keep you posted here - ya'll get the benefit of catching HB's birthday week - so there will be lots of fun to be had and plenty of entertainment. Can't wait 'till the 2010 Southern Rally..Trip, we need a countdown icon here to match the bouncin' boobs.

:boobs:

it's post like this, combined with the Chia thread that make this place home... :lol:

I just booked a cabin, now I need 3 of you bastids willing to stay with me LOL.

So LMK whos interested. its one of the elite cabins so we have a garage for the bikes.

I will, but I dont think that we needed an elite cabin

I'm interested. What dates did you book it for?

the 3rd to the 6th.

i booked a cabin, didnt get the elite, but im bringing a pop-up hopefully

How is the security of your establishment? If security is a guest only reason for a garage, is it truely needed? How open is the bike parking to the public? How much non biker traffic do you get? Is bike parking just outside my cabin's room? Do you have any security issues?

I found this info on your site..
http://www.thecycleresort.com/amenitiescopperhead.html

Is this the same as the cabins?
http://www.thecycleresort.com/images/coveredparking.jpg

Is cabin parking covered?

hey quit following me!... Is it the case that if you get a hot tub cabin that you don't get a garage? If so, you can take me off the hot tub cabin and down grade me to a regular elite cabin, thanks!

Hey... I'm a security nazi here at home. I generally don't worry too much with this bike. Especially now that I have the security alarm system, with the pager and 'regulator'.

Just don't park next to trip... His bike gets stolen and molested every year

We got a garage this time. If my bike gets moved, I know exactly who to blame and reap payback.

Gas Man - there are no security issues - although I can't speak to the shananigans of certain group members. The covered parking in the picture you posted is at the Lodge in front of the rooms there. The garages on each cabin are just that, garages with doors and fully enclosed. Some garage queens like their bikes to feel at home - even on vacation. Security issues are not a reason to choose a cabin over the Lodge. Hope this helps.

I see that you have camping... but how much is it? I'll probably be arriving a few days prior to everyone else, and just wanna camp, until Friday, and then I'll be in a Cabin (already reserved)

also when I tried to reserve one, and enter the Goup code, it also asked for a zip... who's zip?

Wow....that bike must have never been the same!

eBBs15 - Camping - is $20 a night, but for $25 you can have a bed in the bunk room in the Lodge (and access to Lodge showers) for a few nights prior to the event if you'd prefer. I'll add both options to the group tonight and you should be able to book it online by tomorrow

Ahem... do the hot tub cabins also have garages?

And where do you park for the non-elite cabins?

In the driveway to your cabin, or you can leave your bike at the Lodge, there is covered parking in the front there as well.

Yes, all hot tub cabins have garages

Thank you! See, I told you Chris!

New question, and something those that are going to bunk with Tommy might want to know....:lol: Do the cabins have four separate bedrooms, one for each bed or are the beds all in one room, DGMR style?

One bedroom and one sofa bed in the living room I asked this above.

Some of the cabins have a loft as well with a variety of combinations of beds (see first post). But remember...warm air rises... :lol:

So how do we know how many beds are in the cabin reserved?

If you have an ELITE cabin...you have:

Master Bedroom with Full/Queen bed
Full/Queen sofa sleeper
and, either:
Loft with twin/twin or full/twin
OR
Bunk room with twin over twin

So many combinations, so little time :)

Does it make a difference in the room configuration if you get the hot tub cabin? Btw, when will I know if I got a hot tub cabin? Can you request a specific break down? If you have two double beds and two single beds, assuming that there are two couples in your group, why are the cabins restricted to 4 when the website says 6 people? Just curious....

This weekend I will make room assignments of the current reservations. I'm sure you will get a hot tub, and yes, you can REQUEST bed configuration.

Website will be edited this week - along with many other new additions and changes. We contemplated letting 6 in each, but have now pulled that back to 4. Trust me, you don't have 5 friends you like enough to stay in these together - even if you are sleeping with one of them. :)

Thanks everyone!

All I needed was a bed and a place to shower so i am prety much good to go. thats the perk of doing a lot of track days and staying in cheap hotels, this will be like luxury to us LOL.

Thanks! Well, I'd like the set-up with the full size/twin loft I think.

Don't know about where all of you are - but still cold as hell here and gravel on the road. A few of us are riding tomorrow anyway :) Counting the days to the Southern Rally and hoping for Spring to break soon.

LOL, I recuperating from my fiddy crashes tomorrow. I iz getting old and healing is taking longer.

Ass. iys 25 here and snowing right now

We hit 45 today and supposed to hit 50 tomorrow. Planning on taking a decent ride down the twistiest road in the area hopefully.

Biatch!

Thinking about riding to Shades for a cocktail... It's in the high 50's here.

Ive been riding all week, it's been about 25-30 in the mornings. Summer's gonna kick ass.

Rode to TWO yesterday- roads here to there were full of gravel, but over towards Helen in the next county was much better with no gravel. Overall, the weather sucked, but the ride was GREAT! Can't wait 'till Spring!

sound perfect

Union County apparently isn't having any shortfall of tax revenues, they are spreading gravel like the clap any time the sky clouds.....

:lol:

Hey have they charged any of you your deposit yet?

Yes

yeppers.

Cool thanks!

So I got on to make reservations and it says promotional code expired. WTF?! Are they all booked up or something?

shoot her a pm copperheadresort is her board name.

There are a couple of Elite cabins left (none with hot tubs) and rooms at the Lodge also. The TWFC and TWFL codes should work and are for me. If you still can't get in, I can take your reservation by phone if you like. PM me here if you need further assistance. Thanks!

they heard about you and dont want you there :lol:

Figured as much. I'll bring more booze this time, that always seems to make people like me.

How long do you think i have to make a reservation on a cabin before they are all taken up. Upshift and another friend of ours might come but nothing is 100% yet and i just was wondering when you think you may not have any cabins left.

I may have at least one spot still in my cabin if need be. Eric is a defintie maybe right now so if he cant go I will have 2 spots open.

Alright sweet. most likely it will just me me and my our friend Adam (Adam is a member just dont know what his name is he hasnt gotten on in about 2 years). and IDK if Upshift will have a bike by then. we will see.

FT. Just show up. I know lots of people with extra room. I know my cabin does too just not sure how many spots empty.

psssttt... I thought we agreed on just me, you and the gf....:lol:

we got a open room

Alright ill just show up then lol. Whether they come or not but im not going to be able to stay the whole weekend. I cant take off work my budget is real tight so ill only be there thursday night and stay all of Friday. I only live 2 hours away. So if anyone wants to meet up on your ride in LMK. Im in Chattanooga we can hook up and ride in from there.

gf coming now? I can't remember this shit... LOL

so what's the head count now?

I tried to add it up in the... head count thread... but got put on probation by Trip... fuck'n Nazi... I didn't even TALK about religion!

Want me to change his name to Hitler?

yep she's getting her bolt on tits on May 3 and says that she'll be ready by the rally so we'll see...:lol:

Tell her Thanks for the Birthday Present!
