Iron butt dinner ride

[TEW47]

DECEMBER 27: Corner of Al 225 and Al 59 . I65 N from Al 59 or I 65 N at Al 225 or Al 59 South from Al 21 at Uriah, Al.

Stagecoach XII is set for Saturday, December 27th at the Stagecoach Café in Stockton, Alabama around lunch time.

 

Y'all are invited to ride down to lower Alabama and enjoy some tire kicking, tall tales, and good southern cooking provided by the friendly staff at the Stagecoach Café. There is no fee for the event, but you will need to pay for your meal and reward the friendly wait staff for their hard work.

 

Along with the socializing, we will have four awards that will be presented to riders. The awards will be presented around 12:30 and you must be present to claim it.

 

LONGEST DISTANCE

We want to encourage long distance motorcycle riding, so there will be an award plaque for the rider that rides the longest distance on a motorcycle to the event. This is the mileage that you have ridden on the way to the Stagecoach Café since you left home. If the mileage that you claim is sorta hard to believe, be prepared to back it up with IBA type receipts.

Note: The amazing Mr. Doug Graves has ridden to south Alabama from Washington state in the great NorthWet to claim this award (and participate in the tire kicking, tall tales, and good southern cooking) on a number of occasions, so if he is planning to attend this year, the rest of y'all will have your work cut out for you.

 

OLDEST RIDER

We want to encourage folks to keep riding motorcycles, so there will be a plaque for the oldest rider that RIDES a MOTORCYCLE to the event. Note: Folks on trikes are most welcome to attend, but they are not eligible for this award.

 

OLDEST BIKE

We want to encourage keeping old bikes running and on the road, so there will be a plaque for the oldest bike RIDDEN to the event. There have been some great old bikes win this award in the past. Note: riding to the event does not include trailering to the lot across the street, unloading, and riding in to the parking lot. Just saying...

 

YOUNGEST RIDER

We want to encourage new riders to learn to enjoy two wheeled adventures, so there will be a plaque for the youngest rider to RIDE to the event. NOTE: passengers are NOT eligible to win this plaque ... because we know some of y'all are sorta competitive and we don't want to see anyone strapping a newborn baby seat on their luggage rack.

 

There is no website this year, so please pass the word and let your local riding groups know about it. Folks will be arriving during the morning and the parking lot is usually empty by 2:00 PM. The food is good, the folks are friendly, and the weather can be sorta iffy. Some years it has been really cold, some years it has been warm, but either way we hope to see y'all there.

That sounds like a great idea. If the weather will hold off...I plan on being there.

Wife ain't to much on riding in the cold and wet...so not sure she will make it.

No rain in the forcast for now.

Save me a seat.

Gene,

I would have made every effort to come to this but we are having the whole family coming in for Christmas this year and the last couple (with our grandkids) wont be leaving our house until Monday morning the 29th.

This is the first Christmas that the whole family will be together in about 7 years, so I surely dont want to go for a bike ride while they are here..

Maybe next time.

ECK, the Iron butt dinner is the last Saturday of the year, every year. I have made the last 8. Hope to see you next year. Don forget the Schrine Biker Ball in Febuary for Madi Gras.
