Gathering in N. FL Oct. 7-10

[Farside]

Liz and I plan to attend.  Looking forward to this.

It will be great to see you two. I just made my reservation this morning. Calling the front desk of the Staybridge Inn at 850-219-7000. Tell the person that you are reserving a room with the Valkyrie group.  Don't let them put you thru to reservationist line.

I'm trying to make it work. If I do looks like I would leave Tampa Friday morning.
What is your plan for Friday?

[Farside]

  Well the Friday or Sat. ride can be changed right now. So it sounds like if we do the Forgotten Highway ride down to St. Marks it might be easier for you to catch us. In my honest opinion save the best for last. So Saturday the ride around Tallahassee will be Awesome!    Lunch at Bradley's and dinner at the Fish Camp.  I hope that helps you out.

I have got my reservations taken care of and Patti might come too.

[Flrider]

Got my reservations done starting Thursday 7th 

[pocket aces]

Made reservations for Friday & Saturday night.
They have a 2 week cancellation policy with these group rates.
If I can meet up with you during Fridays ride at the lunch spot that would be great if not I'll see ya at the Hotel.

  Not sure where we will be eating lunch. There are several places along the Ol' Forgotten Hway to eat lunch. It'd help if you knew what time you think you'd be around Carabele for lunch but dinner I'm thinking Angelos Seafood Restaurant or even Posey's near Wakulla for dinner on our way back to Tallahassee. I'd like to have you join us for lunch and dinner for sure, but wasn't planning on being at the Hotel till after dinner. Now of course if we all decide to head directly back to the hotel it could change. It is all optional. There is a good restaurant 1 mile east of our hotel, Backwoods Crossing.  I highly recommend and was thinking of dinner there on arrival of Thursday night.

  This looks to be pretty much the ride that I was planning along the section of O'l Hwy 98. 

[Steel cowboy]

This ride is it for Friday or Saturday. Is it flat land or are there hills too, I’m getting tired of riding flat land.

  Hey 2 days of riding, Friday & Saturday. There are hills around Tallahassee along with the curves and canopy roads. The Friday ride along the Forgotten Hwy is not hilly but scenic. 

[Farside]

  Lookie Lookie... Burt asked for a dbl room so I got a response. Get it while you can. If you feel pretty sure of going you better go ahead and reserve you room to make sure you get one. The Staybridge Inn is a popular place and lots of things going on around Tallahassee. Getting additional might be hard to get. The message below is from the Asst. Sales manager. 

 Hi Keith,
 
I was able to add two one bedroom double queen suites to the block. In total there are now 10 one bedroom king suites at $89.00 per night plus tax and 2 one bedroom double queen suites at $119.00 per night. If you need anything else, please let me know!
 
Thanks,
Haley

We are booked for the 8th and 9th. So far my plan is to stay in Perry on the 7th and could catch up to ya's at the Light House on Friday.    In Perry at the Holiday Inn Express, I used to stay there every week for 3 years with my old driving job. Good Mexican restaurant I'd like to revisit. 

[sixlow]

plans change so quickly when the rate in Perry is $160.

  Yep, the rate that I got you won't find anywhere  well maybe a motel 6 but not sure about leaving the light on anymore 

[_Sheffjs_]

I can’t say for 100% but there is a slight up-tic in possibility for us.   I put in for the time and should be approved. The question Keith is if we book we will need to inquire about possible back out so that is where we stand.  I figure if I don’t take that wing out on a trip soon she might start screaming at me.   I will do my home work soon.  Let’s hope.  

[Flrider]

I asked about their cancelation policy and the lady on the phone said "the day before as long as it is before 6pm" and my confirmation email also says the same.

Well hopefully you'll know before Oct. but I told them I'd give then a reasonalble time for any cancelation. So i only reserved 12 rooms cause I felt that that would be a good group. If more I might could secure a couple more rooms cause of "who" i know.   So go ahead and reserve your name to a room is all I can say

Thank you Jack, What he said is the best sceniero if you had to take it out to the day before. I'd like to give Staybridge a little more notice so they could fill the room if we don't use it. They could double the rate and fill it no problem. 

[Bronxboy]

Me & Bert grabbed one of the Dbbl Bed rooms. We will be riding in on Thursday with Jack and now maybe Jerry & Sherry. 

[Steel cowboy]

That's great but if that was the hold up I would just have called Sherry directly to approve your time off 

Been a minute brother, time to ride again

Magman, glad you will be able to make the Tallahassee Dragon Round up. Hmmm that sounds cool.

Not another recount  Yep and we are now down to 1 dbl room left at this time. However, it may still be possible at this time to secure another room or 2 but the Staybridge is filling up. 

[Farside]

Should we be afraid of this group?  

  Well we are at the State Capital folks. Don't be bad, mad or sad.  

[Magman]

When no group rooms are available it is a good idea to start a waiting list because it is common someone needs to cancel close to the last minute and if there is such a list the person at the top of the list is notified and so on...

Well I have consider that but it is still far enough out so I've been in touch with the Sales Manager and she asked me today if I may need a few extra rooms. I may secure up to 4 more and then start the list. Say Aug. 7th. That is 2 months before the WingDing!
