So far has any of this been completely agreed on?
Dates: October 2nd-4th
Location: Gettysburg

Lodgings???? The only place anyone has thrown up is this: http://gettysburgcampground.com/ The prices look good for the cottages and cabins.... http://gettysburgcampground.com/cabins.htm

Plus, DragonPaco can get an EMT discount there....

Okay, 8:30?

Sure if you want me bouncing on your chest at 2am

it's fine, he doesn't have a soul...

that campground is going to probably be the cheapest accomodations we can find, plus free wifi so we can make fun of everyone who isnt there

And those that don't log out of TWF.... :devil:

if you dare violate my tent of kegs and happiness you will be grounded for the duration of the rally and i will safety pin a note to your mother on your shirt

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

No! No! No! Write it on his chest witha sharpie marker! He'd probably figure out how to unpin the note. :lol:

if i do that then where will i write "i love cock" in large block letters?

Oh Shit!

Noooooo!!!
Not a Safty pinned note!!!!

Momma Rouge, Paco is being mean to me....lol JK JK JK

On his back with an arrow pointing downwards? :idk:


:lol:

Dont worry some on already beat you to that one.

and that is why you are my cajun dream girl...

The cabins sound good.

I thought so too.

Does anyone know of any decent roads around Gettysburg? :scratch:

i'm using the tent and a fire to keep me warm. that and plenty of booze

I can suture it to his chest so it wont come off.

Tom

Tommy you are pure evil :devil:

You knew that already ;)

Tom

Your a Bastard and I Hate you :lol

Marko, Itgirl live right in the area, as do a couple other buds from another board. Go 45 mins north up the river to coal country . East and you are 20 mins from Catoctin State Park in Md (Maryland Wine Country)...another 20 minutes south on sweepers and rolling hills and I'll lead you into WV hillbilly country and seduce you with Rockin and Rollin Rt9 through Paw Paw where you can hear banjos playing back in the woods and everybody doesn't just know all their neighbors...they're all related:?:

There are sooooo many nice roads nearby.............from sweepers to switchbacks...take your pick.

I vote WV.

When we stayed at crosskeys there was some park in MD that had some realy nice roads. One ride a local guy took us through some of it and on another trip we just got a map and went out and looked for roads and found some nice ones along with a few dirt roads:tremble:

Tom

You were in Cross Keys?? S##t. You were about 5 mins from me!! You most likely went to Loch Raven (Lotsa water around, right; lotsa up and down with a few bridges?) Might have been Gunpowder park, too.

Cant recall the name of the park, it was a little further south into maryland and I think was near rt 72 if i am not mistaken. I know one of the roads entering the park goes over a set of railroad tracks if that helps.

Tom

Catoctin State Park...have some reallly gnarley pavement/dirt road mix.....some of the stuff leads waaaayyy back into the boonies......

yeah i found a few of those roads :lol: def some nice twisties and scenery through there, did see a few deer though.

Tom

i am sooo looking forward to meeting you peeps. i work during the day on weekends, but i totally plan on crashing the party afterwards. i'll be staying in my nice, comfy home though since i live close by. :D

I vote for just following marko... that is my pov.

Might be worth it for you to take the saturday off for the whole day to come and hang out.....

Oh, and I'm definately looking at making this too, its right in my backyard... Although I do question the choice in dates, it could be pretty cold the begining of october

i questioned the dates too but it's what everyone else wants to do

..and this is a problem, how?

I LOOOVVE riding early mornings in crisp mountain air.....

makes that first stop's cup of coffee that much better.....................

Never said it was a problem, just means that you gotta dress warmer, or do it the begining of september and you will be happy in a tshirt instead of a sweater

October is perfect. You can wear your leathers and be comfortable.

Yeah plus how much awesome can you get to put the season out with a great ride!!

Would you guys want me to talk to george grecco gixxer about staying at the cross keys hotel? We can take over th eparlking lot so we have a place to hang out and drink and its near soem stores and stuff and theres a restaurant connected to the hotel.

that and i actualy know how to get there:rockwoot:

Tom

I prefer the cooler weather - I'll still probably be wearing a T-shirt under my gear. I tend to run on the warm side.

Same here, I cant see it being THAT cold in late sept/early oct.

Tom

Thats what Im thinking. At most some under armour if its real cold.

I can't read through this whole thread. What are the dates? I'm *considering* this. :whistle:

Any reason why we are not doing this on Labor day weekend to coincide with the few people that may be going from CF?

I was cold at the last rally. Can you imagine how cold I'd be at this one??? :lol:

A) because they are bastard covered bastards with bastard sauce.
B) because a few people from here can only make it during those dates

Roguesicle... :tremble:

Early October...And Its not that far from you...You should come out ;)

I plan on being there for at least a day or two.

Have you people ever been to PA during the first week of October? This isn't Canada. It'll be gorgeous outside.

:lol


:nothing:

Alright well nail down some dates and I will try my ever loving best to make it. I'll be riding though and Google Maps says it's an 8 hour ride. :panic:

Eight hours? Is that all? Pffft....that's nothing ;)

You need to eat more and get insulated :lol:
because it's damn near impossible for many people to get away for it and because drivers in the NE are homicidal during holiday weekends.

only a little over 2 hrs for me:rockwoot:

Tom

Heated gear Rogue! Hey if you want to ride anywhere come ride to Vegas.

Ill rub your butt when you get there :)

And I think we have dates locked in dont we??

Its about 3 hours for me

Just because you did a day of riding with me don't get all cocky. Follow me for a couple of days in the rain, then you can talk.

And as for the cold remember, underarmor, then polypro, then draggin jeans, then leather. No need for heated gear killing my stator.

Damn, we're talking October, not January! Most you'll need is a jacket liner and some under armour. I've ridden in plenty of cold weather (like 20F cold, not 50 and damp). Best thing you can do to stay warm is block the wind. Leather overpants over jeans and underarmour are perfect. A neck gaiter is irreplaceable. Heated grips and insulated gloves do alright for a while.

Rain pssh. Wet is no problem. Lightning is the issue, and sight distance.

Seriously, and it's the beginning of October...it'll still be damn near 70*.

Has anything for this rally been set yet? :scratch:

i ordered 50 cabins on my amex card and reserved all 2009 dates... but no nothing has been set up

That tells me alot, dork redflip

give me back my pants

Double U

Tee

Eff?


Must have been drunk posting again. :rofl:

Seriously, what's already been decided for this rally? I can help you guys get it set up if I need to. :)

Nothing that I know of???

:)

Is this rally going to happen or what? I'm offering my help to get it planned! :D

You guys should take her up on it. She planned the last one.

I'm in for this rally BUT I need to know dates so that I can request vacation. It's not a problem to get the time off I just need to know when. :idk:

The dates have been posted in this thread. First weekend in october.

Has anyone (hopefully local) thought to reserve anything? I'm ready to reserve a cottage after I get paid. I think they have beds for 5-6, plus a full bathroom and kitchen and wifi. Need a head count.

I've reserved something...my bed at my house

Im in for at least a few days of it. When are the exact dates that were decided on?

No "decision" as yet, but the first weekend in October seems to be the general consensus. I would say something like Thursday Oct. 1 through Sunday Oct. 4.


The cottages here sound good. Looks like $145 a night divided by however many people- they have beds for 6, but we can fit more. Anyone that wants to use a tent, can.
http://gettysburgcampground.com/

NO way in hell am I using a tent. October isn't warm where I am so riding will be tenuous up here. I need a bed!

Go for it, I can strap my cot to the back of the bike and drag it along, so Thats one bed free plus take a 10% discount off cuz I got my military ID

Im willing to share and keep you warm...

I vote go for it too. I just need exact dates to take off of work and Ill be all set.

I too have already made sleeping arrangements...

Once it's booked I can send a deposit to someone. Definitely want to go!

I have AAA, so I got that covered- fon't think they stack discounts :lol
TWFix could go for free with all the Military/EMT/AAA we have.

Just plan to pay (me I guess) at checkout. They don't require the whole amount up front. We'll get the individual amount settled at the final headcount/end of the rally.

So are we hard and fast on these dates (October 2-4th)?

I can't make it that weekend. :cry:

ill prob come over with sixxer and derf assuming the army doesnt get in the way. You guys should bring earplugs

Tell then that you're busy that weekend

Cross Keys Reserved
 

After much back and forth (Phone Tag) I finally got somebody that could reserve us a block of rooms. Got their last 5 doubles- all queen beds. :rockwoot:

Just need to give them names to go with rooms- why, I don't know. I'm thinking give them all screennames :lol

My brother is gonna make the trek out there too so thats one extra person to the list

I'm in, cause I'd like to meet some of you. Though I may not have a bike then. I'm only an hour away.

You're welcome to come of course. Might be a bit boring during the day if you're not riding with everyone else.

Or you can just party at night with the rest of us

But I already know you :lol:

Tom

Just don't hold that against me. :lol:

I want to go too!!!!
 

:cheers:Gas,

Why didn't you let me know? You know I don't check this thing as often as I should:sorry:

What are your sleeping arrangements? :werd:

Whats the tally as of now? We are a month out.

Me and my brother, prolly gonna show up on friday night

Me and my better half.

Tom

Cause I plan on going out early... plus I'm unaware if my sleeping arrangement can accomidate another body.

Good question!

Speaking of.... I may have an open back seat for anybody's wife. Probably the most comfortable seat at the rally. But I think there is a reservation already in.

Why cant someone just bring a sleeping bag or a cot or something along those lines?


Your lap doesnt count

Yeah, pretty sure that spot will be reserved for atleast one day.

I made a preliminary reservation at the Cross Keys. Plan to call tomorrow to finalize the details.

Yeah right! FO SURE! Hottie on the back!!! WHOOP WHOOP

Derf... not that easy but may be required either way.
