So.... we are here checking out a location for next year. It this place works out, Serk and his spawn would be traveling less than 1200 miles. Let the Serkle making begin!!!  |

That is a wide area that would include every previous InZane except Billings and Bellaire, Mi. Some nice places. Lots of CO and WY.

Rosalia, KS?  Probably not but, the Flint Hills offer some beautiful scenery and some fun roads. Yeah, I know but, if you haven't been there, you really don't know. Rams |

That, and I was occupied with driving to Oklahoma to bring my new toy home today:  But on the topic at hand, in order to make it a level playing field, these are the teaser images f6gal and Motomama posted on Facebook that helped in the triangulation of the location:     A few other posts they made that helped in the sleuth work:    Hope to see all of ya'll in REDACTED next year! |

You may significantly reduce the Serkle by the assurance that InZane XXI will not be afloat.  |

Okay, found a tool that is a little better at least, an approximate 1200 miles driving radius from me. (Had to do time, not miles, so estimated 17 hours). The pins mark all previous Inzane locations.  |

Just hope it's north of the Mason-Dixon line, too hot in the southern parts that time of year. Wyoming would be kinda neat. |

It would seem to me since we are given a less than 1200 mile riding distance, one could assume a 1100-1200 mile perimeter and choose from those possibilities?

You can eliminate anti-2A places like MN & Illinois. And places w/o city sizes that support large hotels. And places w/o good riding ie. boring. I'm thinking eliminate high plains like Nebraska & Kansas (except in a few select locations-certainly not in the middle of flat farming land - no big cities there anyway.) They already eliminated CO. And I concur, it's likely between 1100-1200 mi driving radius. Some locals may recognize some of the hint pics. Less likely hotter places like deep south as well. Though gulf places aren't as hot with a sea breeze. While hurricane possibilities might enter those prospects. JS...

The traffic in Greenville SC isn't worse (not nearly as bad  ) as Asheville, and Hiway 11 offers an easy gateway to a bunch of paths up into the mountains, kind of the same way the BRP offered an escape path out of Asheville. I like riding "out in the country" south of Greenville too. Clemson has a conference center too, it might not be big enough, and their heads might explode if a bunch of motorcycles came there for a week :-) ... Our boutique, four-story hotel overlooks picturesque Lake Hartwell and features 62 spacious guest rooms and 27 luxurious suites, including a Hospitality Suite and a Bridal Suite. In addition to easy access to the state-of-the-art conference center and championship golf, guests enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi access, a fitness center, a seasonal outdoor pool, and delicious on-site dining.-Mike "a lot of traffic in Greenville probably sucks at rush hour..." |

Ok, recently we've been kind of alternating East and West (as you may have noticed). Unfortunately, due to coronavirus restrictions, the East didn't really get a fair shot this year. So, we've decided to look East of the Mississippi for XXI. The site under consideration is, in fact, East of the Big Muddy.
