From the survey results of SUMSUM3 held in Montrose, CO, (2015), the location will be changing. This summer, I'll be heading out with my research & destroy partner, to scout out new potential locations for a "possible" SumSum4, slated for summer 2018. If you have interest in attending, suggestions for a location and/ or interest in helping out with the event, should it come to fruition, please chime in. If you have no idea what a SumSum is, I suggest you search the site as there are plenty of references and threads from other members.

Hello VFRD! After Miguel and I had gotten suitably drunk, we decided and have made a pact to tour Europe for two weeks in the summer of 2016. We are thinking mid-June 2016. Goals - tour the Alps, perhaps catch a road race, do everything as inexpensively as possible. We talked about the Fjords in Norway, Eastern Europe, Greece, Italy, Benelux, England (Scotland, Ireland) Netherlands, Germany.... We are kind of open right now for destinations. We both enjoy the local scene kind of thing, and are not totally crazy about seeing big cities. Likely, we will camp in tents, but part of the time but are looking for local people willing to host two chubby 'Muricans on the occasional night to do laundry and share some laughs. Knowing where helping hands are located in case of emergency would be incredibly welcome. What we need from you, the population of VFRD: 1) The best way to procure cheap rental bikes. We prefer something like an SV650 or other midsize bike with sporting intentions that can allow for luggage and fun riding. Loaner bikes are welcome and will earn you new tires. :-) It will also get us to fly in to your town and impose on your hospitality for a day! 2) Advice on motor-touring, camping and generally going cheap in the EU. What are insurance or licensing requirements for Yanks in the EU? 3) Best places to ride. We think we can cover about 5000 kilometers during our stay. 4) Things "not to miss" while we are in the area mid-June. Know of any neat town or national festivals that involve beer in June? We're in. 5) Some people willing to help in case of mechanical failure or other unforeseen events. 6) Budget. I've done a reasonable amount of figuring... right now it looks like motorcycle rental will be the most expensive. Anyone with input on this will be very appreciated. Airfare is already figured. This is a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list trip for the two of us. We're needing some help making it happen! Pretend we are ignorant (which shouldn't be too hard!) and offer up some nuggets of wisdom! Thanks to all in advance, Yokel
