    When you call tell them you are with the XS11 group. The lady said she would try to keep us all together. (Frankly I am not sure she understood me, but try it anyway.)
    76 rooms and right now they have no reservations for USA Memorial Day. This is a popular 4-wheeler area, so call soon!

    I have several routes already planned to choose from, so I will gather expert comments from veterans who have passed through that area, and hopefully Greg xsivebiker will be able to scout again, like he did so well last year, and anyone else who wants to comment. We can hit VA and KY, we can see New River gorge, and that famous Rt 16 in VA. And for all those silly people who prefer a tour of a hole in the ground instead of RIDING, there IS a coal mine tour available. Not fer me, of course, but still...

    Ralph madbiker will be working on shirts.
    Gary sixty-six will critique the routes with his expert opinion so we will have the best.

    The team is back together and we are running on all 4 cylinders!


    Now we need a name for this Rally.

    Hi Marty.
    Let me start with YEAH! As last year was the Unexpected.
    Would the Expected be too much
    Sounds like a Grand Plan to me. KY & VA to be added to the log too. Might need an extra day or two for this one.
    Thanks

              I am in for this one. A little farther south but it is still doable in one day. May just meet up with some northern folk and follow along. LOL

              But then.... I will have time to stop and smell the flowers... ha ha ha

                          Wow did this degrade fast.

                          OK, who's in for WV? This is going to be a lot of fun riding. What's the weather like? Are we there yet?

                          Who is coming and what and who are you bringing? And what room are you in?
