Rob,

Found this link to some activities at the BMWRA National Rally:
http://www.bmwra.org/rally/motocache.html

Sounds like alot of great riding with a LITTLE caching along the way...wish it included more than 4 caches on a 4 hour ride.

Sounds like a lot of fun!  I haven't even bothered checking these dates against the vacation calendar at work - I haven't accrued my first day, yet...

I would be really tempted to go for the "big bad wolf" ride.  I was crazy in my youth, you know.

OK OK I'm going to Ashville for Thursday through Saturday.  Gotta work Sunday.  Looking forward to R65.org group photo.

Joan - R U channeling Hunter S Tomson?  Next time I head west I'm going to have to make it to the NORTH west.   Sounds like too much fun in your neck of the woods!  :D

We need to all exchange cell phone numbers (for those that have them, that is) so we can get in touch with each other during the rally and agree on a time and place at the rally to meet for the group photo!

Hey Sue, can't speak for the others, but I didn't get a PM yet, although I can't make it to Asheville either.
Is there any lag time involved?  :-?

Sue, no PM for me either.  I'm hoping we'll make the rally.  I think we're going to start off at Willville and then ride down the parkway from there.  Haven't made definite plans yet.  I'll see if I can send a PM to you...

I "heard" some disturbing reports about this rally  A few good but most were neagative.  Those that went I hope you had a good time.   :P

Personally, Bill, I don't have any negatives to voice about the rally.  Sure, the camping area was kind of dry and dusty, but that was the only "downer" I heard from my fellow Conebutts who were camping at the rally.  Most of my fellow club members chose to eat out at some of the fine restaurants in Asheville (at least the evening meal), so the food availability/price issue wasn't that big a deal.  ( I agree that it wasn't that cheap there, though.)

Overall, with the Biltmore Estate as the backdrop, I thought the '07 RA rally was great!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

(Of course, just my humble opinion...)   ;)

Here's a photo of the closing awards ceremony at the RA rally where bikes were parked all the way around the front yard and then in rows in the back.  Really impresive in person!

So John..am I to assume we missed each other again!!! I looked all over the RA camping field for the Conebutt flag sign. Only R65 I saw was a silver LS that had been bastardized a bit.

Ok what about the MOA??? ::) We will have even less chance of meeting there.  I was sitting on the circular pond wall in the middle of all the bikes at the closing ceremonies and the Biltmore picture taking extravaganza!
