I've had a couple people express interest in a group ride to the BRP area for next year. I would be willing to work on the details. It would be sometime at the end of May.

I'm interested. Hard to commit a year in advance with work, but I've made it down there 3x in the past 2 summers.....

I'm interested, but like Wahoo said, it's a year away. It would make an excellent group ride.

Weather at the end of May down there is hit or miss. In 2009, we were at Deals Gap Memorial Day weekend and the entire following week. Rained just about every day. Didn't stop us from riding, just a little slower. ;D There were some pretty severe thunderstorms that week too. Nice to watch from the porch but not from the saddle.
In 2010, was there the week of July 4th and again the third week of Aug. Not a drop of rain either time (total of about 15 days on the road between the two trips).
I don't mind riding in the rain. Thunderstorms on the other hand are a different story.

I was there the week before memorial day this year and had rain only on the ride home.

We would love to go but it is the wrong time of the year for us.

As Wahoo said - I would be interested BUT that far in advance would be impossible - we do other riding and most of it is a week or two in advance. Nice thought though

At the risk of sounding like a total noob where is BRP? I can go almost anytime as long as do not have a gunshow scheduled. Then again I can cancel a show

That sounds like a great ride. I have always wanted to ride down there. If it does happen that far away, I would be willing to add a couple more bikes into the trailer and get them and the owners there and then we could ride while we are there. Not everyone would want to ride from SW Ohio to Virginia then ride and then back. I have a 16 ft box trailer and a Toyota Tundra crew max ( will seat 5 fat guys like me).

Some of the group may want to do that.

Just a thought. I may need to push this back into August or September because of vacation time issues. My plan will be to start firming up a date around the firist of the year.

Aug or September are also great times to be there. After Aug, I will be riding solo as Mrs. W will be back at school..... unless she retires after next year.
