    More and more its a rally

    Yay Ralph!!

    No longer an "UnRally" although I kinda like the name.

    We got lots of help from Marty in GA and TONS of suggestions from Greg xsivebiker in WV. Got some great routes picked out, gas stops planned, restaurants, heck we are even looking at getting shirts!!

        Yea, this is the only one I can make till Ga. in the fall. Got the Scout trip to Philmont in June/July. Too much to do this summer. Glad to hear Marty in Ga. and Greg will be there too.

          Hey Hamjam do you want to do this one? Only about 8 hours if we take the trailer. The big roads are twisty the little roads must be awesome. Let me know.

              Marty asked me to post this, a small taste of some roads for the rally:

                Hope to make the rally as Elkins is not far from my area. Couple hours ride. Would like to see a rally in the Roanoke, Va area. I mentioned this to topcat but then the computer broke and I never pursoed it any furthur. Not a long distance from Roanoke To Elkins and a lot of excellent roads in this area and not a lot of heavy traffic. I am right on the WV line about 20 minutes from White Sulphur Springs. A pretty weekend day will have upwards of 200 cycles going by the house.We are mountains and near several good towns to have for a central area.

                  Greg xsivebiker continues to be a big help. For those travelling from the north and east, Greg knows of a good restaurant right off Rt. 68 in Maryland:

                  "...at Keysers Ridge, MD. there is a great truck
                  stop that has gasoline, a store and a very good
                  resturant. I've ate there probably a dozen times and
                  have never had poor service or food that wasn't great.
                  Keysers Ridge Truck Stop is open 24/7 and serve
                  breakfast anytime of day. They have just about
                  everything on the menu, including subs, burgers,
                  steak, seafood, ham, and pasta dishes. I love their
                  homefrys. They have two dining areas, one is smoke
                  free, one for smokers, both have televisions usually
                  tuned to the Weather Channel. I believe the exit off
                  of I-68 is 14-B, and it's probably about one mile off
                  of the interstate and is easy to find."


                  From that restaurant you can jump on Rt. 219 south right to Elkins.

                        Ok. Guys I 'm doing the shirts for this Rally. Since as Marty said I'm closer to the civilization then he does so if you like the design as much as I do . I thought my buddy did a great job on it. I'm going to start looking for a printer and get prices for shirts . Post here what sizes and how many and as soon as i talk to some printers I will let you know the colors. I'm looking into black, blue, and a maroon .
