Not that it would impact attendance at all, but you might consider that the Cycle World show is in DC during the proposed weekend.

  1) I'll have my hands full of wee'uns the weekend of 2,3 & 4. I vote for 9, 10 & 11.

  2)Cacapon SP was perfect: convenient location, great roads, etc. 'Nuf said.

  3)The IMS? Another reason NOT to go to D.C.  Hasn't been worth the trip since they moved it to it's present location.  Half the vendors and no demo rides! Ken, if you decide to go to D.C., I'll miss you.

Ken... did you hear Robert?.. There's NO DEMO RIDES!!!!! What could you possibly see at the DC show that you couldn't google up? It just wouldn't be the Winter Meet without ya.

I went the last 2 years with my young son, and we had a good time.  No one cares if he sits on a bike and goes "vroom vroom".  Or, for that matter, if I do the same.  Last year at the show I met up with one of our winter meet brethren, tomsfz1 (who left us when PO closed).  I don't plan on missing the winter meet.  Of course if the weather is REALLY crappy I wouldn't make the slog from NJ.  I don't care how cold it is, but it's gotta be dry for that long a ride in the cold.

Well,  depending upon weather, I could meet with Cablebandit, and Rob.  The SV is naked, and when it's really cold, it feels like I am too.. EEK!   Maybe I can draft Rob down..  Bigsmile  

Thinking of route 26 down to 30W to Bedford, 220S into MD. then 68W to Cumberland, then back roads to PawPaw, WV. and Route 9E to Cacapon.    That or we could do 22E in Huntingdon, to 655S to Hancock, MD., (drop daughter off at sisters, he he he) 522S to Berkeley Springs, WV. and Route 9W to Cacapon.  How's that sound, Rob???

Course gonna have to wait till closer to date. Rolleyes

  Well Ken, Chris and I would be happy to meet you for the ride down.

  My preferred route ( and I think Chris' also ) to Berkely Springs ( from Altoona ) is 36S to 26N(E) to 915S. This is a nice stretch through Buchanan SF. Turn right at 30 and left onto 915 again. Continue straight after passing under I-70. This will pass over I-70 and become 643 which will end at 522.
Turn right toward Warfordsburg. 522 merges with I-70 for about 4 miles then splits off again for the last stretch into Berkely Springs.
 
  For one of the group rides last year I took 655 down and found that winter maintainance left it covered with loose gravel, not much fun on a 700# bike shrouded in expensive plastic! LOL
 
  220 from Bedford to Cumberland is straight and heavily trafficed. I'd prefer 96. But neither is good enough reason to ride into Cumberland I'm afraid.
Although there are some nice roads east from Cumberland to B.S., even Scenic 40/144 isn't bad on a bike. No reason to take I-68.
 
  I like to ride 26, or better yet, 326 on the ride home as it provides a nice anchor to a day or weekend of riding. However, I strongly recommend you don't ride any of these roads at night, bounding deer are omnipresent.
  
  It's nice to see this Winter Meet gaining momentum. I had a great time at the first one and hope more people turn out for this one. If anyone has any doubts about attending, don't let it stop you from coming. You won't regret it.

  Looking forward to seeing everyone.

   I may have stated this before, but I'm going to push heavily for the weekend of Jan 9/10/11. No scheduling conflicts for me and for the most part it avoids the Post Taumatic Holiday Stress Syndrome that afflicts many.  EEK! Lol

I second that weekend.  Let's make it official, then.  The Winter Meet will be the 1/9 - 1/11.  Gather at dinner on Friday for those that are staying, breakfast on Saturday and plan for a long day riding on Saturday.  

OK, Scott?

Any idea how many rooms we should block off?  I could give Cacapon a call and get the ball rolling.

If I go down there, I will probably end up staying at a friends place in Hedgesville.  Only about 15 miles from Coolfont.  That and it lets me ride route 9 to get warmed up (or cooled off  EEK!), for the twisties when we meet up in the am.

Man I hope one of those unseasonably warm fronts rolls in for that weekend.   Lol  Gotta start looking for a place in Florida, to move to for the winter.

OK, my lovely and talanted wife ( Bigok) has made contact with the Cacapon Resort and she is waiting to hear back from the group coordinator to see what kind of group rate, if any, we can get for 1/9- 1/11/09.  Now I just need to get a headcount for rooms.  I'll assume double the amount of rooms as last year just to give them a rough idea but I'd like to get a better idea as soon as possible.

I may start up a new post if this one gets out of hand trying to keep up.

PS:  The resort remembered us from last January.  Not sure if that's good or bad.  Lol
