I lived in Green Bay (on Packerland Drive, no less) for a few years before I moved to FL in '99. Dad lives in Menasha, and my Mom lives on the shores of Lake Iola. I see you're from central WI - where? Live It, Love It, Paint It, Ride It! Eclectic Dawn Arts

HSATF 1st Officer Posts: 546 04/21/08 7:30 AM	Hi, Dawn. Born in Milwaukee as well. Lived and worked there all my life. Moved to a small township called Plymouth. Not the Plymouth that is east of Lake Winnebago. The Plymouth I call home is between Mauston and Elroy in Juneau County. BTW. Don't worry about non-T's at this event. People have shown up driving anything from a Harley to a Toyota. Stony Last Edited By: stonyrd 04/21/08 7:34 AM. Edited 2 times.

Stay in clarksburg. 70 to 90 a night with hot tubs. ride WV 18 and 20 plus OHio 800 and 78 one day (220 miles) and US 50 and some of US 33 & 250 plus more of WV 20 (280mi). or stay a bit south in Weston. holiday inn express $81 pre pay. Ride a ton of WV 18 and 20 ( if we throw in some of OH 290 miles). Second further into Mononghela N P to pick up WV39 and more of US 33 and 219 (230mi) or another option I like because I am a big fan of cruising in the national parks stay in Sauton, VA loads of hotels in 80 to 100 range. hit US 33 &219 plus WV 39 (275 miles) second US 250 and a big chunk of the Blue Ridge parkway (290 miles). Staying in Weston may be the best as we can do some of both and the hotels while less numerous are cheaper. one minus may not be able to walk to dinner. All have roads to make a bit longer or shorter. Caveat, I have never touched most of these roads. I checked them out here. any one road is area before?? Brian and Terry, skip, I'm talking to you. Anything look good??? I'm not looking to take over but willing to pull my weight. I loved the last two rallies and feel like I should contribute. Tony

Usually our group does best riding 175 to 250 miles per day. That leaves lots of time for kibitzing. Fred

HSATF Tail Gunner Posts: 242 04/22/08 9:37 PM	Hi all, I haven't been able to hang out in this forum like I used to. I actually have to pay attention at work, something I'm not used to. Did I read on here somewhere that you folks are considering a New England version of the T-Rally? Possibly in conjunction with Americade? If so, did you narrow down a date or dates yet? Would you like a guide/escort/scout through Connecticut? I'd love to apply. Greg Four wheels move the body; two wheels move the soul.

Posts: 7575 04/23/08 6:48 AM	Greg.....how are you my friend? When Andy (CleRider) was here, he had proposed a 'tour' of sorts through portions of Pennsylvania, New York and a portion of Vermont. I believe that they were in conjunction with the Americade. Some interest was expressed in the idea, but it kind of fell by the wayside. Now with Andy's departure there is no one to champion this event. alepel "Ride with the Spirit always, and in all ways"....hombldr

HSATF 2nd Officer Posts: 466 04/23/08 8:18 AM	Fred, Your probably right on the mileage; no let me reword that, you are right. A number of us talked about cuting down the mileage last year. I knew I wanted to be less this year but got excited with all those great roads. That's why I put them in there. I guess I forgot what the number should be. Just trying to stimulate some conversation. Tony Last Edited By: tonythecarguy 04/23/08 8:20 AM. Edited 1 time.

HSATF Tail Gunner Posts: 257 04/23/08 9:07 AM	For one of the other rallies I attend, we do a smaller loop in the AM, about a tank's worth, then stop for lunch at a pre-determined place and time. Anyone who wants to go back to hotel (IE: hot tub and pool) does, and those who didn't ride in the AM can meet up with the group for lunch. The afternoon loop is a bit longer run, and we meet up for dinner near the hotel at a pre-determined time. Of course, "pre-determined time" means "within an hour of", because we stop to sightsee and take pics! Yes, the group riding is fun, but my favorite part of the rally is the chance to talk story in person with folks I've only met online. Live It, Love It, Paint It, Ride It! Eclectic Dawn Arts

That's a great plan, but I can imagine that it takes quite a bit of work to plan out. I've also got to agree with you that for me the meet and talk is the best part. alepel "Ride with the Spirit always, and in all ways"....hombldr

HSATF Tail Gunner Posts: 242 04/23/08 5:05 PM	Hi Al,, Things are going swimmingly here in Connecticut. Spring has finally sprung. How's Rochester look these days? I was sorry to hear about Andy's departure. Although I am not planning on going to Americade, if any of you are planning on passing through Connecticut, I'd love to hook up with you, maybe show you a "shortcut" or two. Talk to you soon.
