We will also set up rides/plans for the River Cruise and Balloon rides if there is enough interest. Also the Lodge has 2 restaurants, Bar, Pool, Pool table/game room Sauna, Jacuzzi, Alpine slide, Miniature golf, Disc Golf, Horse Shoes, Volleyball and gift shop. I am working out the details so the campers can also enjoy all the facilities of the lodge. Thank You Your 2013 Rally Committee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop69gs Posted March 1, 2013 Share #3 Posted March 1, 2013 Rick, If you could post which rides are going on what day's, it would help us to plan our day's at the rally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Haywood Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted March 1, 2013 Rick, If you could post which rides are going on what day's, it would help us to plan our day's at the rally. The rides we put together will go everyday this way everyone can go on each ride. We will have sign up Sunday night and we would like to keep each ride to 25 bikes or so. On Sunday night if we get say 47 bikes sign up to go to the Museum/JP cyles ride we would then tell the first 25 your ride leaves on Monday at 9:00 am and then the next 22 that there ride would leave on Tuesday at 9:00 am. Then the 22 that didn't get to go Monday would sign up for a different ride on Monday. Does this make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eusa1 Posted March 1, 2013 Share #5 Posted March 1, 2013 Jay, The dates and times of each ride will depend on how many people sign up for each ride. We will be a available to help you decide, and make sure you get to see everything thats available. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
