VentureFar Posted January 26, 2014 Share #56 Posted January 26, 2014 Just curious what the unofficial count is for those who have said they are going? VentureFar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Eagle Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share #57 Posted January 26, 2014 Right now - possibly 20 people - still real early - my experience shows more people start planning for these as it gets closer. We really appreciate those whom consider these events early on - as that helps us "plan the event" better - and have a better idea of all whom are coming.

VentureFar Posted January 27, 2014 Share #58 Posted January 27, 2014 Dunnigan Ca is just north of where I-505 joins up with I-5. There's a Jack in the Box, and Bill and Kathy's restaurant, plus a Motel 6 for those from SoCal that might want to over night somewhere. Since it's a full day 650 mile ride to the Dalles from Sac I thought about leaving here around 5am and getting to Dunnigan (50mi.) around 6am for breakfast, and maybe joining up with anyone else heading north. KSU at 7a would give us a chance to make The Dalles before 6pm. Of course this is all conjecture...but it's a thought...

Eck Posted January 27, 2014 Share #60 Posted January 27, 2014 I really would like to attend this rally, but don't think my wife and I could make it to Sturgis, Black hills, Yellowstone, and ride HWY 12 through Idaho that early in the year without getting into some real nasty weather, and the roads in those areas most likely would still be closed. We are leaving Huntsville at end of June, first week of July heading west is our plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck, I'm planning on heading that way also, but believe the weather will be ok. http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/USID0146 Also believe we'll encounter rain at some point so will probably leave a day early,"just in case". Remember in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of July 2011 "Cody INT.", the temps were uncomfortably HOT! Over 100...

Instead of sight seeing on the way WEST, make a B-line more southerly for Portland and then sightsee starting a week later in the summer on the way BACK? VentureFar...

Hey Victor, Might want to throw it up on the calendar. If people can see who is signing up, it will stimulate the folk around here, get the sleep out of their eyes, and, awaken them from their slumber. eh?

Dunnigan Condor, I was only planning on riding about 3 hours on tuesday after work and then the rest of the way Wednesday. That can actually work to meet up in Dunnigan at 7am. 250 miles Tuesday - spend the night at the 5/ 152 then leave at 4:30am to meet you (all) at 7am and cause the San Andreas Fault to crack as so many RS xx's ride north together.

It's about 1 hr for me here in Sac, so I plan on leaving the house around 6am. Vic sez he's going to ride up from Concord on Tuesday and stay at the Duningan M6, so he'll keep the light on for anyone else who wants to do the same....

Lone Eagle Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share #69 Posted May 3, 2014 Here is the information I just posted on the MAIN THREAD for this event - http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=834660#post834660 post # 183: T-shirts and fri. Night dinner registration The time has come -y'all - I'm taking reservations for our Friday night dinner gathering @ Cousin's - and for those who would like to order t-shirts, they are on this form. Thank you to CONDOR for making up this form. There is no charge for the event itself, come out and have fun. I need to send in the t-shirt order on 6/1 in order to receive them @ the motel on the 18th - and give the restaurant a head count on 6/13 - thus the only reason for the pre-registration. Any questions / comments - please don't hesitate to contact me. Other than Friday night's dinner, there is no "real itinerary" set - this is the "un-rally / rally" - LOL - a weekend of riding and having fun. There will be an informal meet and greet around 6ish @ Cousin's on the 18th and 19th (pick up shirts / name badges - etc), ride ideas for the area will be available to share with all - to go see the beautiful sights of the area during the days, or one could just hang out and tell more stories (Puc - LOL)! SEE YA ALL THERE and bring your friends! http://cast-aways.com/thedallesregistration.htm THE COUNTDOWN IS ON! WESTWARD HO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is "Vic " a typo ? That is not the name you sent me in a pm for the name badge. Is Barb coming with a "friend" instead of you ? VentureFar...

Lone Eagle Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share #73 Posted May 4, 2014 Just so we are all on the same page - and thank you to those whom have sent me e-mails / PM: Dalles is currently being shown on the VR Rallies page - I have asked to have that changed. This town is about 45 minutes west of Salem and IS NOT the correct town. The information on the calendar is correct. THE Dalles - - where this event is taking place - is about hour and a half east of Portland and 150 miles different from Dalles. This is the correct town. Our host motel is: COUSIN'S - 2114 W 6th St, The Dalles, OR 97058 (541) 298-5161. Our other site is the Motel 6 next door - 2500 W 6th St, The Dalles, OR 97058 (541) 296-1191.
