Ride to Ripley 2010

Post by Chris near Kansas City »

Ripley, Tennessee ride is tentatively scheduled for the 2nd weekend in October. In other words, Saturday the 9th, give or take a day or two.

Informal meet and greet.
Women welcome (they smell nice).
This weekend is not about selling parts or working on bikes.
Mostly guys sitting around telling lies.
Nice Super 8 motel with awesome curvy road to Carl's place.
The BBQ Shop in Memphis.

More updates as they are needed.

Google Maps map for the Super 8....

Great news Chris, I missed this event last year. I plan on being there, it will be a bit of a ride but nothing a Voyager 12 and an old Voyager can't handle.

If you ride all the way from Cali "just" for this gathering, I'll buy you lunch. Maybe even dinner, LOL.

I would like to do the trip, but I think that is the weekend that my wife works, and after the money we spent on RAGBRAI and fixing the bike, we might skip this year. I will talk to the wife and go from there. I hope all that go have a great time.
Swim, bike, run; sounds like fun!!!!

I was wondering if anyone from south central PA, Northern VA, Maryland or anywhere along the route is going to Carl's get together and would like to meet for the ride to Tennessee? If so please let me know and maybe we can work something out for riding together.

Just a little less then two weeks to Depart day for Carls and the BBQ. I've got my Voyager cleaned, Polished, Plugs changed. I'm ready, I want to ride some of those Tenn roads. Tire kicking for two days of just hanging with the guys. Carl do you have a motel lined up yet?

The motel to stay at is a Super 8. nice inexpensive rooms with free breakfast bar, going thru Ripley on the main drag, the motel is right on the corner as you turn onto the road that leads to Carl's place. Seems like his house was about 5 miles away.
