Casper Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Some of you may have heard rumors. Yesterday I received the contract and can now announce it officially: For the 6yr anniversary, we're going to Deals Gap.So, how is this going to work, you ask? The only official, organized part of the weekend is Saturday evening/night, June 9th. We have a firepit reserved at Fontana Village (firepit circled on the map below). This will be meet and greet style. Come out, enjoy some beverages (alcohol is permitted, but have it in a plastic cup or in a coozie), make some s'mores, and just have fun. Food for Saturday night will be determined once we figure out how many people are going (probably all just chip in and get pizza or something). There is a bar/restaurant there on the property as well. The rest of the weekend is up to you. When you come down, where you ride, who you ride with, where you stay (Fontana Village discounts below if you want to stay there), etc is completely up to you. I know I personally will be hitting the restaurant we found last year on 129 in Georgia for some amazing trout and awesome roads at some point. If you're a newer member or just don't know any/many folks from here, don't worry. There will be riders of all skill levels for you to ride with. The key to this weekend is to ride your own ride. Enjoy the weekend, and be safe. This isn't a competition or a race. This is just a good weekend away with friends.In the end, you are responsible for yourself. This is, of course, an "at your own risk" type event. Motorcycling is dangerous. These roads are dangerous. Be careful. Ohio Riders (and/or it's owners, blah blah blah) cannot be held liable for anything (like, but not limited to, traffic tickets, accidents, stupidity, death, etc).The general consensus of those I've spoken with and are already planning on going has been get there Thursday the 7th and leave Sunday the 10th, but the group discount is good through the 11th if you want to stay an additional day.Fontana Village300 Woods Road Fontana Dam, NC 28733828-498-2211 option 1Ohio Riders Group Discounts:Lodge rooms with two queens beds -- $95 per night2bdr Hemlock cabins (1 queen, 2 twins, 1 bath, newly updated, have their own firepits) -- $149 per night2bdr Azalea cabins (1 queen, 2 twins, 2bath) -- $189 per nightCampsites (allowed two tents per site) -- $20 per nightReservations are now open.

Casper Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Will there be any meets before this I got quite afue questions about it some are probly stupid but would like to talk to some one who has done a ride like this before. Thx I'm sure there will be several meet and greets this Spring, and probably even a few more this winter. Come on out to anything. Anyone will be willing to answer any questions you have. Hell, you could just post them on the forum as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Its about damn time you posted this Me, Likwid and Pauly are in for a cabin...talked to them last night. We'll be there the 7-10 for sure...maybe 11th. We will definitely be doing 28S into Georgia and Cherhola or BRP or both maybe or if Pauly has other ideas. We rock a pretty good pace and like to get in a lot of miles while were there cause we are awesome So if you don't like or aren't comfortable with a quick pace, quick gas stops, awesome lunch stops or getting schooled by a bear on a VROD don't feel obligated to go out of your comfort zone to join the A groupEdit: I've been drinking all day so take the sarcastic ego with a grain of salt as I'm trying to be comical but at the same time trying to limit future issues Edited January 7, 2012 by Bad324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FZRMatt Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Sounds like a blast! Myself and jgetz524 were already planning on being there that weekend anyway. (Sorry Jeff, didn't mean to speak for you.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I have to be home on the 11th Bad... can't miss wedding anniversary again this year But yah, see you all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Ive never been there, sounds good I'll be off work for the summer by then. I'll look into a cabin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 FYI...Likwid and I stayed in the lodge last year and its pretty reasonable for the price, I have no complaints. Just see if you can request a first floor room because then you can park it right outside your door. Its also pretty much perfect for 2 people, wouldn't suggest more unless you wanna sleep 2 dudes in a bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I have to be home on the 11th Bad... can't miss wedding anniversary again this year But yah, see you all there.ok then 7-10th for us for sure. She's a pretty understanding wife, clearly since she married you, but even I wouldn't try to take advantage of missing the anniversary 2 years in a row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
