Alright gang, I haven't heard much and we need to have a final date on this so we are going with the old stand by of the weekend after Labor Day. That would be the 6th, 7th & 8th of September. Majestic Trails web site has the wrong weekend, I will get in touch with them and have that corrected. For those of you new to the ride, please see their web site for hotel and area information. PLEASE make your vacation plans now, so we can be there in mass. I hear at least a dozen guys every year that claim they are going until the last week and then claim they can't make it. I have a feeling this is going to be a very special event this year.

See you there.

Ken

It all started in the spring of 2003 at a small piece of property in Virginia owned by a software engineer code named "Jaybr".....

I was wondering if most guys stayed in motels. That was going to be my plan. Any recommendations?

Comfort Inn or Best Western in Bradford. Smethport Inn just south of the ride area. I think there is a new Holiday Inn or Holiday Inn Express as well.

I have stayed in the hotels but there just isn't anything like camping out there. It's definitely the way to go but not taking a shower sucks.
