I really hope everyone has a crazy, great time! Our family has been sidelined due to illness, also. Then the kicker was George(hubby) had a stroke in late March. He is recovering well, but still doesn't feel comfortable on a bike or trike and isn't quite up to a long trip away from home. You all have a blast for us!

 

[Zammy]

The wife and I might be able to stop and see everyone for a little bit on either Tue, Wed, or Thur evening. We have to make a trip to Ohio for a funeral and will be travelling by car from Ohio back to Florida the week of the get together. Since we will be going through Charlotte, NC on our trek south, it would be nice to meet some friendly faces and put them with screen names. I'll know more the first part of the week as to our exact plans, we're leaving Florida this Saturday morning .

Am I the only paranoid one paying attention to the track of rain in future from that Caribbean hurricane right now?
Bring your rain gear...and the booze, if stuck in hotel.

Yep, Ya'll have another one not looking so good for Your Weather.....

 

[rwhgme]

I close my Home Depot in Kansas City on Friday night. We will leave sometime Saturday morning. When we came back from Eureka Springs, we rode through the remnants of Tropical Storm Bill. Not going to worry about things I can't control! We are SO looking forward to seeing you all!

[Gorilla]

it fizzled out this morning but it may remake itself later.

 

[Big Dog]

Hey guys the next storm is FRED, aka Big Dog. I sure hope that it stays out in the ocean, or just dies out. Watching closely, planning the trip epper:

 

[Bikerbozo]

Looking like the weather services have been paying attention to my predictions. Looks dry down to Roanoke for us, but looking mighty drunk, with scattered inebriation through at least Tues at Maggie Valley. Might not be anything else to do. I do mix a mean "Red Headed Slut". Maybe i'll pack the fixings for Jello Shots too.:Joker3:

...and for Folks trying to decide whether to bring rain gear.....NEVER head into the Mountains in this Area without it. Rain and Storms form quickly and sometimes without warning..."TRUST ME", this has been my Riding Area for 45+ years.....ThumbUp

 

[mtn rider]

rain gear

Come on Scuuter where is your sense of adventure!!!

After all the rain makes the corn grow.
Corn sells for about $5.00 a bushel
Corn makes moonshine
1 bushel of corn makes about a gallon of shine that sells for about $120 a gallon.
Now do you think these mountain folks aren't smart?

Oh well bring your rain gear and a little spending money and we'll have a good time in Maggie Valley.

 

[Ozarkryder]

Rain gear is a good thing to have no matter where you're riding. Better to have it and not need it than the other way around. I've gone into a restaurant on a cloudless, sunny day and come out a half hour later to it pouring down rain. Same with a coat. When I lived in Michigan's U.P. it could be 90° in the day and in the low 50's at night. We always carry both.


I am done counting the days until Maggie Valley. Now I'm working on hours.

 

[irmagoo]

ok
I don't like tell'n folks what they outtta do.. so this is that we do
never take rain gear and/or cold weather gear out of the bike/trike/sidecar unless its to wear them or clean and repack them store them in compaction bags . just have to smile at folks riding baggers that stop in the rain and huddle under trees and shiver!??? what's the luggage for I wonder????:xzqxz:.
even when wife and I were kids we would roll up rain coats and jackets and tie on back of bike or handlebars! I can tell that back in 60's-70's rain gear wasn't much but better that nothing.

[Bikerbozo]

I officially am giving up trying to predict what the weather will be next week. MSN weather says one thing, accuweather says another (my favorite forcast) and national weather service says something else. About the only thing I will predict is that a good time will be had by all...except any caught in destructive path of Fred.....and the hurricane also.
Sorry, Bigdog. Too easy.:qpnmt:

Finalizing MV registration log for name tags

It's about that time! Just days to go.....please check the registration log for info accuracy. If you are planning to attend but have not registered, register now so we can have your name tags printed. If you had registered previously but are not able to make it to the event, PM me so I can update the log.

Also, if you want to reserve a TT t-shirt to pick up and pay for in Maggie Valley, PM me with the size and color so I can have them ready along with the name tags.
