Gary, I would need a spot but like you, not sure about this trip yet.
By the way, I was gazing at the NY map to find a good way to Vermont other than the stupid thruway. Thought perhaps you would have a good idea or maybe even get together with you guys for the ride there in May. RT 29 caught my eye but I know nothing about it....80 SG

She told me it was a queen size pullout but yes the rate is a bit steep. We need a getaway so I'm going to bite the bullet on this one.

As Paul has pointed out a second bed to share expense. Remember those are Canadian $$$ so about $50 your money well really only about 20% less but it would be good to have you along. Seriously the suites do suit couples better. 2 couples sharing is $75 Can per couple.

Spare beds will be available once we get all the rooms booked so don't give up yet
Please don't mix rallies on this thread. Happy to discuss rt29 on the other thread though

AAAHHHH!!!
As I feared some are still posting on the SOXS ride thread for things that belong here. As Brent would say: Herding Cats
Tom has revealed that ALL ROOMS have TWO double beds Single refers to what that person has booked.
Big Daddy Snores .... so he wants to be on his own
Maxim Phil Snores & Farts willing to share .....room NOT bed
Others have extra bed or sofabed in their rooms.
we knew we were going to have a problem there just are not any motels with enough rooms in the area.... which is why the roads are still good for riding.

Hey Gary & Dena,
Mapquest says you are 234 miles from Barry's Bay and 4 hr 41 minutes travel time. I would be disappointed if you can not shave 41 minutes out of that one day event arrive Friday night leave Sunday morning be home before sunset on Sunday.

Google for details
I would really like for us all to be at the Ashcroft Inn and so far I believe we can get everyone in. I had the Mountain Reserved for our group until the Ashcroft was selected to be the " home base" for this event.

I fully understand if you can't make Gary and Dena. If you had to work that weekend because of shift work I can see where it would be expensive on the holidays. Been there done that! Doesn't count boarding the animals.Tom

If it helps to convince you and your wife to come along I will gladly switch to a luxury suite and you can take the double I booked. Just get the room booked for now !
