    Friday, February 20th through 22nd. I have 3 rooms set aside for us that will accommodate 12 (4 in each room). The plan is to leave the QC around 8am Friday morning endure the 8 hour drive check into our rooms, them hit the park for a few hours. Leave and find a brewpub or 2. I have already located them also. At this point the interest has been very high and I’m sure there will be some that will want to check out the sites and sounds of Cleveland and some will want to just ride. With the Rock-n-Roll hall of Fame and at least 6 brew pubs I will be one wanting to look around a little.
    Also one of the reasons I chose this weekend is that Dirt Rag will be their promoting a Ladies weekend. I have asked Ray about it and this is what he said “well ...on friday during the day, from 9am-4pm it is women only...clinics
    ,pros etc. The doors open to everyone at 5 on Friday and girls ride for free
    all weekend. It's alot of fun. Can be a little busy between noon and 4 on
    Saturday. other than that, a ton of fun. Hope to see ya, thanks, ray”
    They had about 40 women show last year, in place that size I don’t it will make a lot of difference. And besides it sounds pretty cool.
    Cost? Well this is what I can up with rooms are $59 pre night, Ray’s will be $47 for the weekend, Gas at $2 per gallon (who really knows what it will cost in Fed) in my van $33 pre person. TOTAL: $109.00 per person for the weekend. This does not include your food or beer!

    It's going to be in the middle of February, I'll have a layer of body pads I like to call fat... but I'll look into getting pads for the trip. Glad to see you care.

    is this limited to the first 12 that confirm or is there a possibility that more rooms are available at the same hotel, maybe even close to the ones you already have? would love to go but total commitment at this point in the game is hard for me.

    i'm sayin possibly at the moment...

    One of the PAMBA ladies asked about the skills clinic registration. I talked to Ray in Cleveland. He says that there will be a "very loose registration" on their website eventually for us to sign up. He said more details should be posted in December. I will post up once I see that they are taking online registrations.
    I wanna ride!

    ok, with the holidays barely out of the way, i need to start making some firm plans for this trip. my mommy gave me money to help fund my fun for the weekend as my xmas gift. i saw somewherte that the weekend runs through monday. maybe on the forc calendar. i am planning on leaving here friday morning as originally talked about, and only plan on staying friday night in a hotel, getting up riding saturday and then leaving to come home sometime saturday evening.

    I have a jeep grand cherokee that i will be driving and would be interested in any carpoolers that may wanna run the same schedule. just don't wanna leave mamma home with the kids for 4 days. may be my first and last forc trip.

    i would like to be a part of the motel rooms that AG have reserved already if still possible and better yet, able to have roomiesto help deter costs. i am going on a very limited budget this time around.

    anyone looking for a travel partner, post up. will also stay tuned for others' trip details...............

    The interest has been very high so far. I'm thinking of getting a 4th room. I already have someone from lamba going also.
    You'd understand if you know what I was talking about.

    Because I am going to participate in the women's-only skills clinic on Friday 2-20-09, John and I are going to take Thursday afternoon off from work and head down Thursday afternoon. I know the drive time is 8 hours. We may opt to drive 5 or 6 hours Thursday night, find a hotel along the way and then get up first thing Friday morning and finish the last couple hours to Cleveland.

    By the time all you knobbies get there Friday afternoon / early evening, I'll be pooped from riding and getting all SKILLED... so I can take pictures and videos of y'all having fun Friday night. Then of course there will be beer and plenty of it for the Friday night encore.
    I wanna ride!
