Going to Inzane !

[Whooray]

Just wanted to let  any and all of the NW riders that Domino 1, Nogrey, and me ( Whooray ) will be headed to Inzane from Boise Idaho on Thursday 4th of June.
Leaving Boise in the am traveling across the state to West Yellowstone. We have made reservations at the Yellowstone Westgate Hotel, in West Yellowstone.
On Friday it is our intention to see the sites in and around Yellowstone National Park (as many as we can fit in ) from there we will go out the east side of Yellowstone and most likely stay in Cody, WY Friday night.
From there on Saturday we will ride on over to Spearfish arriving sometime  Saturday afternoon.
Im letting you all know this in case you have the opportunity to meet somewhere along the way and ride with us. If you cant join us anywhere along the way we will see you in Spearfish!

Thanks for reading this and we hope to see you all at Inzane in Spearfish SD

Not a member of Vermin... But, I may be going this year and a friend of mine with me. We are in the Tri-Cities. See if I can find a couple more to with us.

[Whooray]

Im not a member of Vermin either, it doesn't matter. You don't even have to be a member of the VRCC to go to Inzane. All are welcome.
I look forward to meeting you and everyone you bring to Inzane

True, it doesn't matter... but secretly, way down deep inside, you probably dream about being a Vermin. The cool patches, code names, secret hand shakes, and riding with the best Valkyrie Club in the NW.

Although the Vermin Club is the Washington State Chapter of the VRCC, we do have members from other states. Just sayin'.

[Whooray]

Im sure the Vermin are a great bunch of Valkyrie riders.  I know that the times I have been to Inzane I have has a great time and have met a whole lot of great people from all over the US of A.

We met John and Gina in Couer D Alene and had a great visit/ride. Look forward to seeing them again.

I'm considering your route. I see you have reservations in West Yellowstone. What about Cody, any hotel info available?

Thanks,

Redline

Redline, I sent you a PM.    Raymond

Unfortunately Locomech and Letsgo are out...

Trying to pull together the list of people starting out in Seattle and getting us all to Boise on the 3rd.

Whoray, Domino 1, & Nogrey - Are we meeting you at the Best Western Airport?

So, I normally use Firefox as my default browser. When I go to register for Inzane 2015, it tells me to not use Firefox because things might not work properly. Now that I am using the Google browser, I'll be darned if I can get anywhere near the registration page. What am I doing wrong?

[Icelander]

While I'm not sure how the NW Valk Riders forum is the right place to ask this question, I'll take a stab at answering it for you.

Can you get to the Main page?
http://www.valkyrieriders.com/InZane/Registration1.html

This is the Full-Deal registration page:

Here's the day-pass page:

Try these links and hopefully you'll be able to get registered. If not, you may want to contact the organizers at this page:

Hope this helps.

Ok. I'm starting to have some doubts about my itinerary.

I'm looking at an 11-hour day to get from Seattle to Boise to meet up with the rest of the crew from Nampa. Realistically, this should be a two-day ride as I've got *alot* of miles ahead of me, but I just can't even think of asking for yet another vacation day. This puts me in a bind.

I'd really like to ride with Whoray and Nogrey and whomever they bring along with them, but I'm starting to wonder if pushing myself that far out on the first leg of my trip is the smart thing to do.

I'm wondering if Seattle, to Coeur d'Alene, to West Yellowstone isn't a better route for me, tho it does deprive me of a day of riding with these fine folk,

I'd really appreciate some feedback from more experienced riders out there.

Thanks!

Icelander, I feel your pain. you could just take the shortest route to West Yellowstone and just meet us there. But....we would miss you riding with us from Boise.
Another way to look at it is it is only about 385 from Boise to West Yellowstone. If it was possible for you to endure the long day of riding getting here you would have a short ride with us. If you get to Boise I will buy your breakfast Thursday am before we leave
Anyway you decide to go we will look forward to meeting up with you.   Raymond (Whooray) Hill

Icelander, have you been to any of the Valhalla Rallies in New Denver BC?

For me it's a 9 hr drive, and I've done it in 10-12 hrs. It's long, but it's my co-pilot who makes it longer (12 hrs, solo 10 hrs).

Personally, don't push it, you're going for a week aren't you? So you'll be putting a lot of miles on with a lot of good fellow riders.

[Icelander]

Other than the Cascade Loop run the Vermin did two weeks ago, I've never been on anything more than 200 miles in a day. CL was 400.

I'm planning to leave Seattle early (5-ish) Wednesday the 3rd and touch base with O-B-1 in Benton City. Then I'll proceed on to Boise. I'm going to take it easy and ride my own ride. Stop when I'm tired/bored/uncomfortable and shake it off.

I should be fine. Just getting the jitters before my first truly big ride.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm looking forward to seeing you all.

Just don't try to do all the miles at once. A 15 minute break every so often helps me immensely. 

[Icelander]

Thanks! That's the plan. I'm basically giving myself 15 hours of daylight to get an 8 hour ride in. I'll take my time, stop and appreciate the view periodically and not stress myself out about getting there.

(I'm the 15-minutes-early-is-on-time type.)

I used to be really anal about being 15 minutes early to stuff. Now I get to work 2 minutes till. And nobody cares a thing and all is good. Now if its going somewhere with my wife she makes us 30 minutes early and we stand around and wait  
Looking forward to meeting you NW guys

It was our pleasure Redline and we certainly look forward to hanging out with you again soon.

[Icelander]

Still on the road but plan to be back home today. Just hit the 3000 mile mark on this trip.

I've learned a ton from Redline, Whooray, Nogray, and Domino1.

I want to thank you all for your company, your suggestions, and your patience.

It was awesome riding with you guys, Cal, Kendall. Hope to meet up with you again someday in the not too distant future. Maybe even the next Inzane event! That would be great!

[Icelander]

I enjoyed the hell out of this trip and appreciate all your patience with the newb rider.

We will be riding again some time soon if I have anything to say about it.
