    Well there's no backing out now...

    This rally came up in conversation with some of the guys I ride with here on LI and they are champing at the bit to do this. What a surprise. Hills and curves are rare on LI. I think there is one hill and two curves, but don't quote me on that.

    So, I will be bringing the wretched refuse from New Yawk . Actually, a great bunch and a few couples too. Marty, add another 5 to 6 bikes and 10 people to the count, but I'll confirm the exact number asap.

    There goes the neighborhood.

        Randy, I don't think The Brooklyn Bridge counts as a hill !

        Glad you are organizing a group to ride over - that is always fun.

                Not too many deals available. Here is the best I could do balancing good reviews and best price with group rates. I have 25 rooms blocked off until May 1, 2014. Call early in case we need more rooms.


                Baymont Inn & Suites Summersville
                903 Industrial Drive North, Summersville, WV 26651

                Call this number to make your room reservation with your credit card:
                1-304-872-6500

                Use "XS11" as the company / group name when you call. They will try to keep us close together. Smoking rooms are available.

                Price for a room with 2 queen beds is $252.00 for three nights. Check in May 23, 2014, check out May 26, 2014.

                Link here to see the motel:
                Baymont Inn and Suites Summersville

                If you can share a room and split the price it isn't too bad.


                Looking forward to seeing you guys again, and BE SURE your tires are in good shape, it should be a twisty treat.

He knows every single backroad in WVA and SE Ohio...40 yrs of experinces on those roads. he has plotted our routes for the ST event known as Ohio STOC...He lives in Washington WVA and has a cabin along the river ( i think its the Ohio River)
                    Interesting idea Ben. Ya think we could visit Gary on Monday so as not to miss the Sunday ride?
                    also,
                    I need a roomie too, or, a nearby campsite..
