The rally will be held on September 20-23 this year. The loacl of the rally will be at Ed Smith's house (About 10 miles from my old house and 5 miles from new house). We are having some water issues and Jane has decided that I cannot have all the people here this year (spoilsport) but it is still a go, just a minor change.
Ed Smith's address is: 8694 North Allen's Hill Road Bloomfield, New York 14469
The closest motels are still the same ones from last year all located in Canandaigua. The Lafayette seems to be the one of choice. But there is also a Day's Inn, a Super 8 and many others in the area. Free camping is available at Ed's as well. I will get a list and post it later.
The event will consist of: Thursday is meet and greet and tell stories. Probably order up some pizzas and such. Friday will be a nice long ride, we are thinking of maybe a dealer tour since there are now 3 of them within 100 miles of each other now. We'll see how that pans out. Then there are the rides around the lakes with twisties enough to satisfy everyone. Friday evening will be the infamous chicken wing feast. You want hot this year? Just wait... Saturday will be another day of rides (still to be determined, we have a couple new ideas). Most likely start with breakfast at the little diner in Italy Valley - the one Ron almost crashed at two years ago - this time we will let her know in advance we are coming so she can have kitchen help. Then rides and later in the evening another feast and liquids and more stories and loud people. Sunday we all hug and cry ands kick everyone out and send you home. So that is the game plan, subject to change. So who's in? we need a head count and will have a patch/shirt thread later as well. Oh and like last year, if you order a shirt/patch and do not show up, and people show up that did not order them, they will get first dibs. Sounds dickish, but hey, you go to the effort to get here, you deserve extra consideration in these matters.

A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.
