Stony.....I think that you made some very interesting comments. Obviously you like hot tubs....I do too my friend.

What impressed me the most about your comments was that I felt that you have a great agenda for conducting your own tour. I believe that many of us are capable of doing that in our own regions. What I think most of are afraid of is failure or better said....poor attendance. The question has to be asked....how many riders makes a 'successful' gathering. In my case, since I ride alone most of the time, one other rider makes for a successful road trip. But I digress.

Stony it reads to me like you could organize a pretty good road trip in your region or in Michigan. If you were to ask me I would tell you this. Organize a great road trip for yourself as if no one else were to attend. Then advertise the trip and see how many come. AND if only one other person comes to enjoy YOUR trip then you've had a successful road trip.

There are so many personal decisions that affect whether we attend one event or another that it makes it impossible to accommodate everyones wants and likes. And for those who don't participate, don't take that personally. I've never heard it said here on the forum that a rider did not participate in an event because of another rider. It always proves to be personal difficulties not having anything to do with anyone.

One other thing.....I've been following your planning during your retirement and I am jealous my friend. I hope that you don't mind if I tag along with you during your travels as you post your trips here on the forum. Keep that camera handy too. Quoting my dear friend hombldr...."Ride with the Spirit always, and in all ways."

So my feeling is that we do what WE want and hope that someone else will enjoy that enough to want to participate.
