Are you fine folks in Region 6 going to have a winter gathering again in 2009? I heard you had an outstanding event in 2008. Will there be an encore?

  Well, I certainly hope so. I had a great time at the first one! I rode about 400 miles that weekend and loved every minute of it. I'd be up for a 2nd.

Me too! I wanted to go this year but it didn't quite pan out. I am now much better equipped to handle a long ride in cold weather thanks to winning an ST.N/New Enough drawing (Thanks Skipper).

Oh yes! We'll definitely be doing another winter meet again! Now...  Headscratch ...does anyone remember what weekend we had it on last year?  Lol

There was a bit of discussion about this at ESTN...and me and a few others all think we should have it at the Cacapon Resort Lodge again---that's a really nice place, with a great "living room" to hang out in and a good restaurant right on premises. (And pretty cheap-but-nice rooms too.)

What says everyone else? All we have to do is pick a weekend and reserve rooms!  Thumbsup

Scott

PS - I'm totally open to having the meet somewhere else too...if anyone has suggestions.  Smile

Saturday, 1/5/08 was the date last year.  Cacapon would be fine again, it was cheap and very conducive to hanging out.  I'm open to other ideas though.

In my experience, having a great place to stay/eat/hang out is almost as important as finding good roads to ride! If we stay at the Cacapon Lodge again, we have two great areas to hit for riding that we didn't use last year—farther west into West Virginia (like down towards Canaan Valley and Western Maryland)...or we can always shoot east into the Shenandoah Valley and up/along/over Skyline Drive and lots of great roads in the eastern foothills of the Blue Ridge.

Yep... it was January 4,5,6th... Friday was super cold.. like 15F when I left to come down from PA.. then the temps moderated on Saturday and Sunday into the 40's I believe..

Cacapon was a great place.. good food, good service, good waitresses even Scratch approved of.. Wink We had a great time there.. in the living room.. or the upper deck.

A great ride Saturday on ball bearing gravel that was a blast...and great lunch at the Gateway Buffet in Breezewood, PA with waitresses even Scratch approved of... Wink

Anyone wanna borrow my pocket knife?   EEK! Rolleyes

Yeah,  I vote for the same place.  Since it gets dark so early it's nice to have a warm place to hang out for dinner/ drinks.  I also like Scott's idea of heading further west in WV instead of heading up into Bedford County.

Nah.. we don't have to worry about the cops.... I'll just call the local farmers and have them place a few hay bailers around at strategic points.  EEK!

We had a COG national at Cannan Valley in '07.  Fairly decent place.  Not sure it was worth the money though.  Pretty steep prices for rooms and not a whole lot of return on investment.  If I remember correctly, the food was outrageously expensive as well, but they knew they had you because there isn't much else around them.  I think it was $30 for meal that wasn't as good as our trusty local diner.  Just some thoughts to consider.

If we stick to tradition for the 2nd Annual Region 6 Winter Meet it would be January 9,10,11 at Cacapon State Park. Since New Years Day falls on a Thursday this year I wouldn't think we'd want it to be the 2, 3, 4th... But then again.. I'm just guessing..  If everyone thinks that the 2,3,4th would be better because of the long weekend possibly already.. then speak up..

Lets try to decide on the dates and if Cacapon is a go again (it gets my vote) Lets book it and get things rolling..

I'm sure Scott could easily set this all up again if he's willing to do so.

What dates and location is everyone Ok with???????

Its almost Halloween.. lets get cracking!
