I was hoping to go to the National Rally but I only want to ride that far if I am going to hit the entire East Coast and fill in most of my map. That will take about a month if I want to stop to smell the roses once in awhile, like three of the sports Hall of Fames.

Doubtful I'm going to be able to do that next year. So count me in for Lake Tahoe!

The later in the year the better for me but I know that is not easy for those who need to cross the desert. I would suggest we do not make it the same week as the National just in case there are a few that have a chance to attend both.

Tahoe is only a 1200 mile round trip for me but there are so many cool places on the way I think I will stretch it into about 2-2,500 miles. Lots of options ....sounds like fun.

I'd pay less if it's nice enough for us to drink and hang out at night. I put in 6/20/14 as a guesstimate date. I will stay Saturday through the following Friday. Give me some ideas.

Brad,

As Schoney said, I would push it up a week to the 16th so as not to conflict with National. That would give people Friday to Monday to make it to Eureka Springs if they want to hit both.

That's why I'm putting that out there Joel. I need a consensus.

As usual I won't know my leave dates for next year until December or January. I am hoping to get 3 weeks in June. I like the thought of going to Lake Tahoe. I like though of doing both and spending 3 weeks on the road.

Put a poll out then. Pick a couple of weeks and see what interest you get.
