TrikeTalk Northeast 2014 Rally Registration

[Jonesy]

If you call the Grey Ghost Inn, I'm pretty sure that the owner has a nearby inn or motel that she will refer you to that will take her overfill . We have booked all her rooms and she has a friend who book us in their place.

 

[Deacon Don]

I found it , i had to go to my computer lol. Looks like quite a group.. we are so excited.

 

[spiritdream]

Afternoon, everyone! The sign up for the group meal is now available - please click on the registration link in the first post, then scroll down and click on Group Meal Orders.

***Please note that payment will be collected by the Inn - this sign up is for rally staff information only!!

 

[Bikerbozo]

While I registered that I would be there a while ago, I was slacking off...until today. Just made my reservation at the Pink With Purple Polka Dots Ghost Inn. Gray is such a boring color. Hopefully the staff will have it painted correctly by time I show up. Also, planning on being there Thursday. Will just hop the morning ferry to Bridgeport and maybe a 4 hr ride from there ( probably 5 hrs in "Wife Time").:qpnmt:

Note that only upstairs rooms available. Just have to keep a close eye on wife on stairs. Maybe insist she wear helmet at all times to keep a repeat of last years blood fest from happening again.

 

[spiritdream]

Bozo, did you ask Corina about swapping rooms with someone on the first floor? If you explain that Diane has trouble on the stairs she might be able to help. Just a thought!

Woman said she would put a note with my reservation if 1st floor opens up. Now I'm nervous because John says there is a 3rd floor also. 2nd floor would be tough. 3rd would not do at all. I will probably check back next month.

...or, maybe the elevator installation will be complete by the time you arrive?? :laugh:

 

[trikermary]

I called early to get a room on first floor due to knee problems and I got one , but Corina called and asked if I would be willing to switch to a second floor for someone that really needed the first floor due to serious problem ,so I did give up my 1st floor room..... she said the steps are not bad....hope she is right

 

[Coach 64]

Thank you Mary, I was just going to post asking if anyone would give up a 1st floor room. You are very kind for doing that, my wife (Pam) and I stayed at the GGI last fall. The stairs are not difficult, I have two bad knees

If you need someone to carry your bags up I'll do it for you. Just glad to see you can make it this year...epper:

 

[OlBandit]

Ok, all registered with hotel and meals!!!!!! Don't worry about the bags Mary, Tom will be there to carry them up for you. We will be at the GGI the afternoon of the 14th, so we will be leaving about 7:00am the morning of the 14th. See y'all soon!!!!

 

[Coach 64]

So nobody told Bill that his registration was contingent on him carrying everyone luggage up to their rooms. But I got a god deal for you free water.

Took a car ride up 91 into VT. ( some may be going that way to Rally) road is in great shape. Bridge construction in Brattelboro area. We by passed it taking exit 2.. Some nice stops on the way up( for ones going up early or on the way home )
if you want to stretch your legs or sand box stops
1) Yankee Candle is a great stop. Like a little Disney worldhttp://gonewengland.about.com/cs/macentralsights/a/aayankeecandle.htm.( free)
2) Butterfly sanctuary ( you walk among 1,000s of butterfly's ) ( admission is charged $10.00)
http://www.magicwings.com
both above in Deerfield,Mass
3) and a nice rest stop at the Vermont border( a little tricky, merging back into 91 be careful )

 

[Jonesy]

Yankee candle and Magicwings are both on rte. 5 /10 in South Deerfield, Ma., John

 

[John Luciano]

Thanks Jonesy. Brain cramp.
Corrected. Going north Exit 24 off 91 (going south on 91 exit 25)
Also a few Cracker Barrels off of 91.

 

[Moe55]

There is another nice place to stop at in the same area of MA. Nice place to have lunch walk around and take in a New England small town. http://www.bridgeofflowersmass.org/

 

[Jonesy]

The bridge of flowers is a good stop, and its not really out of the way. Right on the way to GGI. you get off rte. 91n at Greenfield on rte. 2w, 8 miles to rte. 112n, bridge of flowers there, after you'd take rte. 112n, it turns into rte. 100n in VT. and goes to GGI. Its maybe 30-35 miles from when you get on rte. 112n off rte.2w. nice country ride, do it a lot every year.

 

[spiritdream]

Just to let everyone know, the tshirt order form is available now. Just go to the registration link in the first post and scroll down.

 

[Moe55]

Signed up for 2 t shirts (W-M) but some how clicked off the page before making payment. Can someone send me the info how to get to the payment window.

Thanks
Moe

 

[spiritdream]

Moe, if you're using PayPal, you would log in to your account, choose the Send Money tab, and complete the info there. You need to send it to at cheri@newenglandtrikers.org, and remember to use the "I'm sending money to family and friends" radio button.

If you need to send a check, let me know and I'll private message my mail address to you.

 

[Moe55]

Money sent by PayPal.

Thank you
Cheri

I don't see Sat. eve meal registration.

Gray Ghost full except 3rd floor, which I can't make with my failing knees. Looking at other alternatives.

Bill, I've been told that Carina [the owner] is who you need to talk to Monday. the 28th, she'll be back from vacation. She has made plans for a nearby inn to take the overflow from GGI , her help may not know of this arrangement. You have to call GGI and tell them you are with us.

 

[Coach 64]

Bill:
I just spoke to Carina (Owner of the GGI) today, she is on vacation and will be back tomorrow. Give her a day and call and speak to her, she is handleing the overflow with another B &B next door, request a first floor room.

The Sat. dinner is the group dinner on the registration.

Hi Bill! Glad you'll be joining us!! Please go to the registration page and add your info so we can be sure to have a name tag ready for you; this is also where you can sign up for the meal (payment will be made directly to the Inn at check in), and to order a tshirt if you want.

 

[Blueribbon]

First overflow to Gray Ghost is/was Dove Berry Inn. It is full trike rally weekend.

2nd overflow - Kitzhos Inn - they are on vacation until 13 May.

3rd overflow - Big Bear Lodge (802-464-5591) has rooms, but don't know their rates, as they are going to honor the rates at Gray Ghost. I'm booked in there! Finely a place to sleep (though I did have contingency plan)

 

[Jonesy]

Big Bears Lodge is the main backup inn for the rally, as far as I was informed.

 

[tomg]

Just signed up for the rally and at the Big Bear Lodge. They still have plenty of rooms and the rates are the same as the host hotel. Looking forward to meeting new friends and catching up with some ole friends at the rally. Finally a rally on my birthday weekend !! I'll be 21 (just a few times over and over)!!

One thing I noticed when I rode up to GGI a couple weeks ago, there is a bus stop in front of GGI that once a hour goes into town and back. If it should rain folks could go into town and wander around some, small shops and snack bars around the town.
