    Sidetrack, I am in Maine and I am thinking of riding, so we could definitely connect as well...will keep watching...in the meantime I am heading to MIAMI on Monday for a couple weeks...SUPER BOWL anyone...yippee!!!! Not to mention getting away from the -12 wind chill temps for 70 degree weather, I may not come home...haha!

    Kri, lets stay in touch and maybe work something out. Maybe we could hook up with Cathy too and then head down to Pennsylvania to meet up with Rex. Sounds like a plan.

    Hey Sidtrack, I'll follow you down...

    Will you be around then or still be on Sophie's Run? Would be great to work something out. I'm still hoping to come to the meet and greet your doing the 1st weekend in June also.

    Wow, Guys, thanks for the encouragement to come. I've been so inspired by Adventure Girl with her solo trip, If I can come up with a route on all local roads I plan on riding down on the bike. It will be my first real adventure on the bike. If it becomes to far for me to handle alone, maybe I can talk one of my friends to come and let me ride with them. If not, then there is always the car. I can bring myself quite well in that if need be. After seeing the posts about showing up in any type of vehicle I knew I had to come too. I'm so excited to meet all of you face to face.

    We should all put our heads together. Sounds like it would be a great run for us girls.

    Sounds good to me Shedsruty,
    My biggest concern is I only have a 450 and am probably the newest rider of the group. I'm not going to want to slow everybody down. That is why I want to go back roads and stay off major highways. I'm going to be riding my ass off to get ready for this run come spring.

    Yea, that's what I plan on doing; Interstate at 400 miles just don't cut it. I called today for reservations but the lady there didn't know what I was talking about. She told me to call back and ask for CONNIE. So. if n ya call, CONNIE seems to be the lady to talk to.

    Dear God girl!!! Now I'm gonna go through the rest of the day with that vision in my head; now I'll never get any work done. When I'm out working on my shed , my neighbor will be asking me why I ain't working and I'll have to tell him I'm dreaming of you and all the ladies wrestleing in a mud pit

    This is refreshing to see so many willing to do the Tail of the Dragon, thats Heaven.

    Well all right then!  We now have two events planned for evening activities so far.  One evening will feature women mud wrestling and another evening we will have women's wet t-shirt pillow fights.
