Any "meets...anywhere ???

[Miles]

Yo, does anyone know of any VR meets, MD's, or gatherings of anykind, anywhere in the next few weeks or month?????

 

I am tired of sitting around, and want to go out riding a distance. Rather than simply going riding in my local area for the day, I always need a purpose and a destination. Otherwise I just sit home...typing on this forum. So, the best way to shut me up...typing wise...is to tell me there is a ride happening, a maintenance day happening, a nice dinner happening, and it is...1000 or more miles away.

 

I leave in about 7 weeks to ride down to Bolivia, but I need something before then.

Help?????

You could pick a destination where members are in the area, give some notice, and schedule your own meet 'n greet.

Eck, thanks. I have already been paying attention to the first link, but those are all for next year. I will continue to monitor that one for rides next year.

 

The second link I was not aware of, but all those rides are past tense. I will keep an eye on that one for future rides too.

 

But, as XS1100SE suggested, maybe I should just tell people that I will be in such 'n such corner of the country at such 'n such date, at a particular restaurant, and whoever shows up gets a "Dinner with Miles".

 

Hmmm...

Well, I am getting together with a couple of members for dinner in Ft. Erie Ontario Friday if you're THAT bored...

Which Friday? Are you talking about November 16th, which is two days from now, or Friday, November 23rd, the day after Thanksgiving?

 

Considering I live just south of Seattle, Washington, it is a little short notice to be in Ontario, Canada in less than two days...even for me.

Miles i would agree with XV1100SE and his idea until your Bolivia trip just announce where and when you will be there to have dinner with you i think its a great way to put faces to the names on this forum i would like to do that myself and i know my family would not mind getting rid of me for a while but work and the bill collectors would not like that it would be hard to explain why i have no money to pay the mortgage lights and water bill at least not until i win the power ball or mega millions lottery

Well, if you left right now...

You could always come to Georgia...while I don't have my own bike, I do have the gear and a helmet, I could show you around while my husband is at work. He'll only be jealous of all my free time. He won't admit it, but he dislikes me being the stay at home housewife who can at a moment's notice go riding with friends.

Ahhh...geee...given that I do not want to get in between a husband and a wife...it is a good thing that all of my bikes are set up for SOLO riding. The few bikes that do actually have a rear seat on them...have an auxillairy fuel cell sitting on the rear seat.

 

So, while I may be riding to Georgia for dinner, I will not be able to take you, or anyone for a ride.

 

Gulp...

Coward!!

The ride decision has been made. The guy I rode to Happy Valley/Goose Bay, Labrador with last month...he and I have decided to leave the Monday after Thanksgiving, and ride up to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. I have done this ride 3 times in the past, but never in the Winter. We will be gone for about 2 weeks, and be back in time to thaw out before Christmas. Then, after the New Year, we leave for that trip down to Bolivia.

 

I will bring everyone back a snow-cone from the North Pole.

Great Ideas, Bob. We will make it a point to check it out...or...check into the hotel.

 

Thanks,
