    I will have room for 1 or 2, but I'm telling you the back seat of a Mazda will not be that fun after 4 hours let alone 8. Jim, as much fun as it would be to have you to ride up with...there ain't no f'in way. In that little car, you'd be like a raccoon stuck in a live trap.

    No one who has gone before answered my earlier question...The Rules state you can't get off your bike at Ray's. Would it be worth it for me to bring a camera or camcorder or should I leave it behind?

    OK! we are down to 6 days before we leave. Just wanted to recap the trip info.

    I have plenty of rooms at the Holiday Inn. Price I posted put 4 people per room will each room having 2 queen sized beds. When we get there I will be at the front desk giving those rooms to who ever wants them. As soon as you take a room you will be responsible for paying for it. You will be able to buy you pass at the park, not at the hotel.
    I gave Ray a heads up that we were all coming and asked him if we could still leave our bikes at the park. He said yes.
    So with all that said, I will be at the Thunder Bay parking lot ready to leave by 8 am. Who ever wants to caravan up will see you there.
    If there is any other questions feel free to post up, pm or call 5635291831.
    You'd understand if you know what I was talking about.

    I need a spot in a room. I just got cleared by the doc. I'm driving friday after work, so I probably won't get there till 2am, but it'll be ok...
    ANYTHING can be fixed...how badly do you want it?

    Do I still need to bring a bike rack or is the bike situation taken care of with the trailer going now?

    They are very cool there, and won't bother you at all as long as your not disrupting the flow. I would say that rule is to keep kids from gathering in the middle of the "trail". Take your cameras, there is plenty of room to take pics and video.

    Check it...I just saw on Ray's website that NiteRider will be there to demo lights this weekend. Ray's will turn off the lights for a sweet night ride on Saturday night. Don't forget to bring your lights!

    So I called to rent bikes for Megan and I for this weekend and talked to a guy named Logan. Come to find out he is from the Quad Cities. I told him about the club and what we have done with the area. He hooked me up with one of the nicer rentals. I guess it's a small world after all. He sounded impressed we were bringing so many people. So who else is getting excited!
