Freebird Posted May 8, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 8, 2011 Yesterday, my wife and I were talking about the International Rally in Cody. It is really a lot sooner than you think. I hope that all of you are thinking about and making plans to attend. We are excited about it because neither of us have ever spent any time in that area and there is so much history to see there. It is going to be a GREAT time and I'm really surprised that more have not already signed up for it. Please start thinking about it and get registered ASAP. You are going to miss a great time if you aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted May 8, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) I am really looking forward to it as well, as I have never been in that area in the summer. Its been a lot of years but it used to be a snowmobile and ski vacation spot for us a couple of years. The scenery is marvelous and there are attractions there that you dont see anywhere else on the planet. I am also looking forward to meeting up with all of you and seeing some friends that ive met on past venturerider excursions. OH! and I hear the bike riding is pretty decent in that area too!. brian Edited May 8, 2011 by friesman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragtop69gs Posted May 8, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 8, 2011 For us the Cody rally is just bad timing, we have been out there the last 2 years in a row and our vacation funds will take us somewhere new this year. Everyone there is going to have a great time. Beartooth, Yellowstone, Cooke City, Red Lodge, Jackson Hole, Chief Joseph Hwy, Wind river Canyon and so much more. Wind River Canyon is often overlooked , it's only a few miles long but is worth the time to see . It's not far from Cody. Follows the river with train tracks weaving in and out of the cliff sides. The canyon wall are like a trip into prehistoric times. We came home with a rock that we picked up on the side of the cliffs thats 500 Million years old! ( make's you feel young again) Riverton on the East end, When you get to the western end, you are in Thermopolis where there are volcanic natural hot springs you can soak in. One thing I can tell ya is be prepared for any type of weather, we saw everything from high 80's to snow, so be prepared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoneman1981 Posted May 8, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 8, 2011 Hello Everyone: We are one of the closer ones to Cody. 450 miles. We have changed our vacation plans, cut our yearly trip to Sturgis short so that we can attend the Cody Rally also. I have reserved a room at the Skyline, but have not officially registered for the Rally. Hope to do so soon. I know of at least one other couple from our area that is also attending. Recently met "Graderman". Take care.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Eagle Posted May 8, 2011 Share #6 Posted May 8, 2011 Mark, cut off date for pre-registration is July 1st - postmarked (or better yet received). But, one can register on site as well if needed, thank you for posting up your consideration that you and your friend(s) are coming. Pre-registration mainly assists us in guaranteeing dinner for Weds eve, the buffalo burger lunch, putting together welcome packets and for those coming in on Sunday, making sure there are enough hotel rooms, getting enough hors d'oevres etc. etc.for everyone. See ya in CODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See ya in CODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't forget the T-Shirts. They are only going to be available to those who pre-register. Although, I think Dave will be bringing a few extra but if you want them in your size and color you need to get your order in. Otherwise you take your chances... I might also mention that trailer raffle ticket sales are on going until the 300 tickets are sold. The best way to make sure you're in on the action is buy them before 7/1. Over half the tickets have been sold, and there's still 80+ days left til the rally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvrT Posted June 10, 2011 Share #16 Posted June 10, 2011 We came home with a rock that we picked up on the side of the cliffs thats 500 Million years old! OH NO!! ... this means I'd better haul the trailer coz Nina will be collecting more than we can carry on the scoot .... wait a min. ... on second thought, I'll leave the trailer at home and that way she can't gather too many rocks ... or... :whistling: maybe if I just leave her at home.... :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camos Posted July 6, 2011 Share #22 Posted July 6, 2011 Is anyone going to Cody from the neighbourhood of Ohio? Dingy has a spare fan for me and rather that mailing it to B.C. I thought if anyone was passing close to Mansfield there might be a chance to get it delivered by Pony Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
