[greench440]

Plan to arrive sometime on Friday Sept 10 and informal dinner meet up at Barley Brown followed by the Oregon Trail Motel parking lot

Saturday, ride the great roads in the area. Dinner TBD, but some have mentioned the Oregon Trail Motel will let us use a meeting room and we can bring in our own food.

Sunday depart at your leisure.

Lodging and dining info:

Some may prefer the upscale ambiance of the Geyser Grand Hotel, it's halfway between the Oregon Trail and Barley Browns

There are other motels in town if you find neither of these suitable.

Based on the other thread, we are expecting:

Greench440
UHOH
Andrew
XLR8

I'm expecting Mr Sunshine to protest the date by not attending.  

Post up and let us know if you are attending.

[Andrew]

got the time off work
Will have new tires & fresh oil

Most of all I need to take a ride that lasts more than overnight

Down for a 5-6 day ride
  baker City then off to LoLo and on down to Moab and back to the Bay

Looks like the Oregon Trail for me  

[XLR8]

Yes.  

I'm thinking about a looooong day on Saturday, perhaps trying to do the old spiral highway. If not that then Hells Canyon. If not that then the pool. Fuck it maybe I'll just sit at Mad Matilda's all day and chill.

I'll be at Barley Brown's both nights and Mad Matilda's (if it's still there) in the mornings.

This is an excellent town to have a gathering.

[Mr Sunshine]

I'm expecting Mr Sunshine to protest the date by not attending.  

I'm not protesting.  I'm glad you guys just named a date and are going with it.  Just wished there wasn't a track day on the 10th I already paid for.

The ESTN is in September - you still have time!!!

[etachell]

Well I can't deny the Triumph another .5 event so I'll be there.

[UHOH]

Yeah,
I'm up for this.  Not too far away, actually close by riding standards and I had a great time at last Baker City meet.

Pretty sure this is the list as of now:

Greench440
UHOH
Andrew
XLR8
etachell,

and also confirming
a V-Strom rider, Mr. X, lately back from a ride thru Mexico, who may or not be a S-T.net member yet

[greench440]

Better make reservations soon

[XLR8]

There's less people every year. Where did everyone go?

[flips21]

There's less people every year. Where did everyone go?

I have to limit plans to about a week or so ahead of time.  Don't know what September will bring at this point.

Ahh, well I thought this one might be a little far for California anyway but we used to get quite a few PNWers.

Hope all is well.

timing is everything.


didn't work out as I've a wedding to go to.

[jpred]

Put me on the list. I'll be there

[Mr Sunshine]

I'm still on the fence.  Trying to figure out what I should do as it'd mean I'm skipping a track day I already paid for.

[greench440]

I'm probably going to leave Wednesday or Thursday and take the long way to Baker City.

[UHOH]

I'm probably going to leave Wednesday or Thursday and take the long way to Baker City.

If your long way means the very long way, going over Forest Rd #39 from Joseph to Hell's Canyon, well ... check it out.  

[UHOH]

Pretty sure this is the updated list as of now:

Greench440
UHOH
Andrew
XLR8
etachell,
Mr. X, V-Strom rider

Pretty sure this is the list as of now:

Greench440
UHOH
Andrew
XLR8
etachell,
Mr. X
jpred, and now
the true mystery rider who PM'd me today "...and I was going to surprise everyone.  Yea it's too close to miss!"

[Blunder]

I'm in the same boat. It's only about 450 miles for me so it would be a decent ride. I checked out a map and there's not one bit of slab for me. I know I can get the time but I need to clear with 2 bosses, one of whom is also the Minister of Finance.
