CONFESSION TIME: This year, we are planning a
TRAILERED TRIP.
Seems my circulation doesn't tolerate the longer bike trips. At least that's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it.
. I am bringing all the supplies to put on the rally. That's my story/excuse...and i'm stickin' to it too
And........truth be known..........most events we go to .....we wind up trailering there. FOR US......it is NOT about the ride there....but about the people, the event...and the riding WHILE WE ARE THERE. but i respect those who feel the ride there is important. And OF COURSE, i expect they will respect my decsion to trailer there......... For us, with Sherry's back (fractured years ago in bad horse accident), the sheer number of events we go to and therefore LACK OF TIME to get there and back .....ease of bringing supplies (especially when we're talking about the Runes!).....bringing the THREE dogs on many trips........etc....it just makes PERFECT sense for US....to trailer there.
that said, we are RIDING to the Maggie Valley BBR event 17 July. And then riding on from there to Erwin, TN to do a scouting trip for the Rune Rally! it will be the FIRST RIDING TRIP FOR SHERRY SINCE THE 1980s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quite a milestone for her. No, it's not an Iron Butt. we're only going about 400 miles. But for HER..........that's the longest trip she will have made on a bike in almost 25+ years!
oh, we're doing it on the VALKS. leave out 17 July for the BBR rally in Maggie, NC. then leave out 19 July for Erwin. Come back home from TN the 23rd of July. That's our summer bike trip this year....in place of Inzane. This will be the FIRST IZ i've EVER missed.....I've been to them all (and worked on Staff at most of them) until now!
