Snarley Bill Posted January 7, 2009 #1 Posted January 7, 2009 starting to get to work on my annual st. charles meet may 7th, 8th, and 9th, 2oo9. i have added an extra day this year to make it worth the ride for people who have to come a long way. i have 2 great rides planned for each day with a big barbeque at my house the last day after the ride. lots of historic sights to see, on both rides. we have casino's near the host motel for those who like to play the slots, and harrahs is near by. as soon as i get the host motel info i will fill in the details. hope to see the old faces and a bunch of new ones this year. see you there. bill :clap2:
keithert Posted January 7, 2009 #2 Posted January 7, 2009 What's the riding like near St. Charles? A few years ago I went to a BMW rally about 40 miles west of Cape Girardeau. The roads around there were incredible for the midwest. Anything similar around your place? It was a bit challenging following 2 guys on BMW's on my RSV through the twisties. but I kept up pretty well.
slick97spirit Posted January 7, 2009 #3 Posted January 7, 2009 Hey Bill, being new to the group and just a couple of hours south of you I hope the wife and I can make the last day. Work won't allow us to make it Thursday & Friday, but may be able to make it on saturday depending on what time you guys get started. If your keeping a list of those reasonably close to you guys, put me down.
Snarley Bill Posted January 7, 2009 Author #4 Posted January 7, 2009 we have some awesome riding . lots of hills and curves and beautiful scenery. woods, farmland, historic hanniabal mo., on the first ride, herman missouri on the second ride to visit the wineries on the missouri river. we will even see the section of the berlin wall that ronald regan and winston churchill's daughter dedicated in fulton, mo. each ride will be a little over 200 miles. got alot of neat plans for this year so it will be a meet not to miss. bill

nance56 Posted January 7, 2009 #8 Posted January 7, 2009 We stay at the Best Western across the main road from Cracker Barrel. They have treated us well every time. There is also a Bass Pro Shop next door.
Cerviperus Posted January 7, 2009 #9 Posted January 7, 2009 I really hope it works out and I can make it to this, even if it's only Friday evening & Saturday. I think it would be a great time, and it's not that far. Hell, it's only a matter of miles from the dealership where I bought my bike. Any good campgrounds in the area?
