2012 Regional Rally

waterman · 06-08-2011, 11:41 PM

Good evening folks. Time sure is passing fast and the Redwood Rally is going to be here soon.

However, it is probably time to start thinking about next year's regional rally. So far we have had 2 regional rallies, Mequite, NV and Cortez, CO as well as Crescent City, CA for a combined NW and SW rally.

Ideas about locations would be welcomed for where might be a good location for the next rally.

I'll throw out some suggestions...

Flagstaff or Williams, AZ
Island Park, ID (25 miles from Yellowstone)
Santa Fe, NM

What time of year are we talking about? Mesquite in particular gets quite hot late June through August. I think Scott would agree, we can stay home and sweat our a$$es off on a bike. No need to ride somewhere to do it.

Williams, Flagstaff & Cortez are good summer choices.

It was hotter than hades when we were in Mesquite in 2008. I wouldn't go there for another summer rally.

Time of the year will depend upon the location of the rally. I don't want to be riding in 100*+ weather as well. Last year was mid June in Cortez, CO so that location probably won't happen next year. Williams was one I did consider for the rally.

We have had one close to the west (2008) and one closer to the east (2010). One in the middle might be nice for this one.

Hmmm, that's close to Madrid, NM. Home of the Wild Hogs movie. We could all go riding in with BD playing Dudley. ::)

BD is NOT traveling across the eastern imperial valley desert, all across AZ. 600 miles of riding int the desert with temps maybe above 110 is NOT going to happen in my lifetime... ::) ::) ::)

Ride at night, it's cooler.

Now who's the wimp?

Island Park, Idaho is nice and cool. Lots to see and do up there.

blowndodge · 06-09-2011, 05:39 PM

Much better!

IF WE DID IT IN SOUTH WESTERN PART OF UTAH WE COULD GO TO BRYCE, ZION, ARCHES, GRANDCANYON, HIGHWAY 12, CAPITAL REEF, ETC.

IT WOULD ALSO BE VERY CENTRALLY LOCATED. :)

Been there, done that. We need someplace where it isn't a desert, and it isn't blistering hot.
