Thank you Mike for the follow up.

Room 6 is booked, I think I have room 6? and awaiting this annual Rally and ride which hasn't been since 2019. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

I don't remember how long the hotel rooms will be held for the Rally, before others can book, so get your reservations in soon.
