2014 SPRING Epic ride

[snot]

Yes. And two rain date threads. Four threads in all, seven pages each at least and no definitive date for any of it.

Cdub is in charge of the threads;) this started as a are we going to have and developed into planning. Without Doc to lead the plan we are a little lost. I am in Dayton and have a limited schedule so, planning is not ideal for me. My choice is May 10th and Sept 27th. Route same as last year stands up by 11. But not only my choice...

Those dates work. May 10 may be trouble if we try the next day as a rain date - that's Mothers' day.

I vote may 17 and September 20 can't make the 10th or the 27th

You are opposite of us, but we can work around you

Poll updated. Disregard question 1.

I have updated the title of this thread as well. this will be for the spring ride only.

We will start another thread for the fall ride.

You might have to delete your vote to be able to vote again. Just hit the delete me vote button under the poll.

After date is selected a new thread will be started with a poll for leads/sweeps. That will the the official tally thread.

Keep in mind that Memorial Day weekend is the 24th/25th.

That may affect the amount of traffic on the roads during

that time.

I hope I can make this one.

And +1 on the hot tub cabin with booze.

[rollnhot]

As long as there is a hot tub, Sailor Jerry, Jag, and some brown beer I'll be a happy boy. Oh yeah and we get to ride motor syckles too.

In the interest of time I trailered last year. Couldn't have been a better decision because with all the in ride events I barely made it home in time for the engagement I had that evening

[Gixxus Christ!]

Got room for a bandit on your rig?

[Bad324]

If I can make it, I've got room for a 2nd

Goody gumdrops. I call dibs.

That was the wife and I on our first Dream ride in 2012. We left home about 630am at 38ish degrees, rode just over 400 miles that day but temps hit around 60, got home 15 hrs later and it was about 38 degrees by then again. Frosty, chapped, saddle ass. In short, we trailered last year

Looking like the 17th wkend is pulling to win, wife and I will try for this but it's gonna be a juggling act with the daughter. Worst case, we'll have to opt in for the Fall ride.

[RHill]

If I can make it(avoid conflict w Motoseries) I can sweep a fast group or lead a medium as long as everyone understands the basics of a group ride.

IMO 3+ epic rides is getting overkill...just post up a day or two in advance when the forecast is decent and you can get a ride going....smaller groups tend to be more fun anyhow. Last year I didnt make it out much, but all it took was a quick post anf everytime we had between 3-8 people. Best thing about it....less planning, better prediction of weather, and no chance to sit on the fence.

I work weekends.  I need more notice so I can try and get off work.

Yea I think 2 main events would be good and then of course the other mini rides throughout the season will flourish as well. Plus other unOFFICIAL rides such as Deal's Gap, etc.

+1

But that was bshultz's trailer and he sold his bike. I wonder if I can bribe jstump into coming and we can throw our bikes on his trailer.

Come on you slackers, you can get to page 9 without a date. I know you can do it.

[smccrory]

I think Tonik needs to organize this since he's so keen for a date.

I'm not keen for a date. I'm keen for 9 pages!

I'm looking forward to the ride again..thought it worked out great except for the few accidents that occurred. ...rider error, lack of experience and poor maintenance of their bike....I chose the medium group mainly because I was not familiar w the roads. ..I think we had great leads and kept a pretty good pace...I copied the routs and printed them out...definately plan on riding that at least twice this spring and summer. I plan on being there for sure...anything I can do to help...send me an email...I live in Springfield...bout 1.5 hrs away, but we'll worth the trip
