XS Southeast 2015 discussion

[Radioguylogs]

Hi Mike,
You have all summer to make your bike reliable. You appear to have the time as Marty says only starts Friday afternoon. So take your time to avoid fatigue and rain is only water so wear a good rainsuit
Have an extra day with Mom before heading home. There are some nice routes through WV for the ride home.
Phil

I'm listening.

Thanks Phil

I'm planning to join.

I have a call into Iron Horse for a reservation.

I am thinking to trailer down from Michigan, for fear of rain, fatigue, and/or failure.

I see the rally is scheduled Sept 25-27.

I was thinking to arrive Thursday night and (leave) head over visit Mom's in Asheville on Sunday evening.

Does this schedule coincide with the main activities?

After Thursday, January 15, space at the Iron Horse is available to anyone. Until then September 25-26-27 belongs to XS Southeast. Let's fill the place up!

[jetmechmarty]

Yes, it does! You'll probably find no one there until Friday afternoon. Maybe half of the group remains Sunday night. We ride 200 miles or so, on Sunday. A couple of them stayed for a week in 2014.

As a reminder, the entire Iron Horse Lodge is reserved for us until 15 January. After that, we compete for the space with the general public.

I do miss having you at the campfire on Sunday night.

Well thanks Marty. I would have liked to ride the hurricane and come back to IH but it was still a 12 hour day from Princeton WV to home.
Having had dry weather for the last three years I was sure it would be cold and wet for the ride home. It was raining when I set off but stopped within a few minutes and warmed up soon after. No dragged out feeling the next day and crossing the NY ThruWay in daylight were the otherside of the trade off.
I would love to be able to take 2 full days in both directions and have an extra day to explore a bit too. Maybe the lottery will come up soon

Hi Ben,
You are correct I will be there. I found heading home on Sunday afternoon worked very well.
Phil

In the 5 years I've attended...I've stayed an extra day 3 yrs ...another year I left after lunch on Sunday and one year i left on that mon a.m. I like having an extra day or 2 to come back...but then i dont have to ride for 2 days to get home

Dunno what it would take in terms of numbers of people to fill the IH...but it would be cool if we owned the place... FWIW making a reservation now,but they wont take a deposit until 60 days prior to the date of our little rally...

Way to go, Ben!

I know it's early, but because of the kind of business the Iron Horse is, it's in their best interest to do it this way. As it stands, the entire resort is reserved for us until January 1st.
