Folks that is riding into Clinton in The Great State Of Tennessee for the " Meet In The Middle " on Friday Sept. 2 . I will have my wife's soccer Mom van with a designated driver to take folks from the motel to Harrison's Bar and Grill and back across the four lane just down from Wally World . If possible be there by 7:00 ( est ) . This will allow anyone wanting a adult beverage to do so without getting on the bike. If you get to the Red Roof Inn after 7:00 ( est ) and no one is around they will be at Harrison's across the road . Added info ... Calisthenics will be at 3:30 a.m. with jumping jacks , sit-ups, etc. followed by a 5 mile jog before we roll out for the ride at 9:00 a.m.  Friday September 2 Red Roof Inn 141 Buffalo Rd Clinton , TN 37716 ( 865-457-9070 ) Be sure to say you are with the " Meet In The Middle " group so they will group us together as much as possible.... Rate is $68.28 tax included for a double... If you want a single it will cost $ 80.06 tax included ..... If I was coming alone I'd just pay for a double room and save some buck$.... Get reservations made ASAP since this is a holiday weekend .  |

At least you can keep an eye on the bikes I've used this motel and the Super 8 next door on several of my rides and never a problem with anyone messing with the bikes whatsoever ... Clinton is a small town and everyone knows just about everyone has a gun and they will shoot you if you mess with their property  |

This has always been one of the better rides I've put on until last year when we had two bikes down with ( 4 ) people getting hurt . Hoping for the best this year . Time is ticking away and this ride is coming on . If you want to ride with some of the best the VRCC has to offer this is one of those rides ... Doesn't matter if you come with the " Northern Group " or the " Southern Group " the folks you share the wind with are some of the best..... Get a room and come join us |

A good client's case is being tried (nonjury) on Friday Sept 2. If the Judge comes to her senses and clears her calendar I will be a last minute addition. Whats 600 miles to the house of a friend?
Ive got the motel info saved just in case as even though I aint one of the cool kids, I sure enjoy y'alls company.

Oss, you're definately "Cool" enough to ride with the northern group if you'd like (and I'll bet that we're closer to you than 600 miles). |
