superfunkomatic Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 I bought the tiara thinking it would be a ten minute joke. Looks like it changed Gary's life. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyrock Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Olive checking in - thanks to digitallyhip for pointing me the way to this discussion. Haven't been online in a while, but both of my silver beasts are in good shape. No chance that I would ever give up riding - and I still think that the 6th Gen is the best fit for my riding style. Mark me down as a rider interested in the event. It's been quite a while since I've seen people from the board. Had made plans to meet up with Superfunkomatic this summer for a day ride, but weather got in the way. It's been far too long! Either date will work for me. Well well well, hey Olive. Hope you are well and things have continued in great way since the last time we spoke. kev Oh yeah, I forgot: Damn Canadians! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfunkomatic Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Looks like July (July 22 - 24) it is! I've contacted the Adventure Hotel and will be posting information about blocks of rooms in the next week, t-shirt information and registration as well. Hope to see y'all there. I'll also set up a new topic for the 'official' thread so we can organize things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfunkomatic Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Just toying with an idea. The Dancing Bear Hostel (which I've stayed at a few times) has full facility rentals, meaning that we could book the entire building for the weekend. It's about $1200/day which means that if we had 15-20 riders we could pay about $50-60/night each. They have kitchen facilities, dorm rooms (for those that have a family), private rooms and shared rooms for two. What do you think of that idea? It would be different than staying in a hotel but might be kinda fun - food (catered or cooked), patio for lounging, places for families to stay, get a keg or two of beer for the group, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer V-FORE Posted November 21, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 21, 2015 I think that's a great idea Mike, that would only make a great ride even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Polarbear Posted November 22, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 22, 2015 Ok, worst case scenario, you get 10 people and it's about $120 per, right?? I guess the absolute worst case scenario is you are stuck with the bill by yourself. But we won't even consider that one... I just don't want you to get stuck with the bill Mike. But usually you draw a big crowd, so I guess the prospect are good. But it's totally up to you as far as I'm concerned. Either way is good for me.

Member Contributer Polarbear Posted November 22, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 22, 2015 I was going to say that any type of accommodations are good for me, I'm not picky. BUT I should say that I really want to have my own bed................. But that's about all I want, I'm easy going on everything else. C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfunkomatic Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'll start the list then. I'll update the first post with the list of attendees. If I have a better idea of numbers then I can find the lodging options. Who's committing to coming next summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Sparrow75 Posted November 25, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 25, 2015 Count me in too! Might even take 3 weeks off for getting to and from Nelson, taking the scenic route through Utah/Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer jimbob Posted November 25, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 25, 2015 I am up for Nelson, I can make the dates work and it is just a few hours away from me. Are you thinking of staying several nights in Nelson, or moving around to other towns..?? If we stayed there it is a great place for SO's to hang out. That is a great time of year to tool around that neck of the woods. IN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfunkomatic Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 It would be a Friday night arrival, Saturday group rides, go home or keep riding elsewhere on Sunday. Many riders tack on trips at the beginning or end of the meet to go for a good long ride. I am up for Nelson, I can make the dates work and it is just a few hours away from me.

Veefer800Canuck Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I'll have to extrapolate my work schedule and see where I land during those dates. Vacation time is sparse with my new job, half of what is used to be, so I have to use vacay sparingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
