I've been talking to Larry, the manager at Romney Cycles (where 9 of us got our S10's) and he's offered to put together some kind of event for us. "what kind?" is the question right now!
I'm guessing part of their motivation is to get to know the adv-rider crowd a bit better. I think most or all of us (?) had a pretty good experience with Romney, and at the same time I think they had a good experience with us - and it's a market they want to get into a bit more. Just my assumption...
Anyway, they are willing to put on some kind of event for us. Those of you who've been there will remember the large grassed area in front of the shop, some trees there too. I've suggested that we camp there Friday/Saturday night, and that they put on a BBQ and drinks Saturday evening after we've been out riding for the day. They seem fine with that.
Anyone who's been to WV knows it's fantastic riding country, with plenty of twisties and some great dirt roads. Depending on the number of people and their preferences, we could put together 2 rides for Saturday, one road-oriented and one more dirt, perhaps meeting for lunch?
As far as facilities go, there would be toilets at the shop but no showers. There is however a nice swimming hole by the bridge on the way into town . I haven't checked motels or alternative campgrounds yet - I just wanted to throw this out there for discussion first.
No dates yet either, but I'm thinking some time in September - may be getting a little cool after that (especially down at the swimming hole!)
Thoughts?
