I'm also going to the SC rally and looking at going to this one also. If we leave the SC on Saturday the 18th should get to the NC rally on Sunday the 19th.
Do you have a side trip why you won't get there till Monday? Or am I looking/missing something on the time/ distance to get there?

Not sure if we are going yet, This will be our first long road trip. By doing both rallies, will be more miles than I normally ride all year just on short day ride around home. (my poor bike gets neglected for work.)

That is true, I do get lost taking the long way to get to a place. There are some folks that will be attending both rallies and not sure what their plans are but since I live in Iowa I was going to stop at home...at least for the night and make sure the wife has not moved some other fella in to replace me, just incase she thinks I am lost like Framer does :. I might not even go home so she can have her two weeks vacation from me just continue being lost until I get the rally

I will more than likely be going-question for those attending the NCR rally in Hillsboro, WI. - my wife would like to know if there will be any other wives/girlfriends going? I told her she's welcome to go with. (Which leads to the indecision of on her bike or with me....ugh.)

[Rasta]

There will be wives and girlfriend so yes please bring her along.

Thanks, Rasta- she'll be much more comfortable knowing that. She had the assumption that it was just "the boys". I reminded her of what happens when we assume

Yup. I know what you are talking about.

I should call the hotel and see how many reservations they have under the VBA. It might give us a better idea of attendance than the pole we have going here.

[rayski271]

there will be other ladies in attendance and they were only going to hold rooms till sunday the 22 of may so get your rooms folks see you all soon

Ok I just made my reservations for this one too. Talked to a Lady named Kay.
She said that the block out is for just the 20th and 21st.. is this corrected? I got that the rally was the 21st 22nd and 23rd. So we check out would be the morning of the 24th.
If the 24th departure is correct, who ever is incharge of this rally needs to contact the hotel and straightening that out. Right now check out is the 23rd.
Also she and her husband ride a 1600 nomad and may join us on a ride.

I did call about the time you made your reservation and she was telling me about Troy making reservations. When I was talking to hear she seemed to be confused on what was happening . I think she said she wanted you to call back in the morning so other lady could get it straightened out. Most people have reservations starting Monday and staying to or through Sunday.

When getting off the phone she did ask me if it would be ok for her and hubby to join us on the rides since he had a Nomad. I told her they were more than welcome to join us.

Let me know if have issues or get it straightened out tomorrow. My cell is 515-771-0501

Ok thanks I will call in the morning.

Talked to Michelle this morning and it looks like Troy got his reservation straightened out. She could not give me an exact number of VBA room reservations since everyone was coming at different times. She did say she would extend the reservation deadline until Monday so that people have time over the weekend to make reservations and instead of Saturday the 22nd

Glad I checked this thread out again- totally forgot to get a room booked. Just got off phone with them. Still have three "suites" and more double queen rooms remaining. Spoke with Nicolle and she made the comment that it was a good time to have this event there- weekend before and after booked. Will be riding in Monday the 20th. Looking forward to meeting ya'll and get some ridin' in!
