East of the Mississippi, and on another platform it was official stated closer to Rowlett, TX than Billings was. Now, the "Closer to Rowlett than Billings was" is by the road, most direct route, and all I've been able to find anymore are circular radius plots, but, using that as a ROUGH guide, here's IZ 2023 Serkle MKI:  ...I for one am excited to see Chicago is still in the running! |

La Crosse, WI is northerly and was used once. Not much of a trip for me but at least it's north and would be cooler...usually. Need to stay away from the major metropolis unless it's in one of the burbs at least 35 miles or more out.

LaCrosse would get my vote for sure. It is East of the Mississippi, by about 100 yards. |

mmm...I'm thinking it would be a great longer ride for me on #1 & #17 East through Canada, down across the line to the UP, MI for Inzane, then back home through the US on #2 (or vice versa).

I made some assumptions and took some liberties on areas that, while not officially knocked out, I deemed highly unlikely, and yet not impossible, as ideal gathering places in June for a motorcycle based gathering... (Although North of Atlanta is within the listed Serkle, Florida is not.) |

To a great extent, I really don't care where InZane is held (as long as I can afford the trip) but, what I want to know is there a Pickle Ball Court at the proposed GZ? No, I don't like Pickle Ball, but those courts make a great place to park my fat lady. Rams |

I've made several suggestions as to where there are some great roads to ride but, that's not the only priority for selection of a location. Wherever they pick must have a hotel capacity to handle all of us. Giving credit where credit is due, Staff does a good job of finding and securing such locations.

While that's always possible, with such "aged" meat, I'd think crock pot stew would be the best way to go. Crock Pots tend to tenderize old mature tough meat. Rams |

But y'all might wanna check that reciprocity thing fer yer state and Illinois. But I'll leave the I-23 guessing to those more attuned for that! RIDE SAFE. |

I don't have much original to add but I would like to agree with 2 comments. First being Rams- the staff definitely does a great job at picking and securing locations. Second is Carolina rider. That area of Kentucky does have some great roads, Outside of Lexington was very enjoyable.

I eagerly await the announcements and find the guessing game a lot of fun. That said, my chances of attending this year are almost zero. I have another bike ride to Alaska planned for near the end of May into late June. If that happens, I'll be busy. This will be my fourth Alaska trip, and I'll be going with my youngest son, Caleb, on his Valk also. |

With that last picture, the closest I've seen to a hint.... Assuming that pic was taken today(ish) I'm gonna call the colors "Patchy" to "Partial" (I'm no expert on fall foliage though!) If so, that'd put it in the yellow or orange areas on this map:  https://smokymountains.com/fall-foliage-map/Nothing guaranteed, but since I still see some green in the pic, I think we can rule out Michigan, Wisconsin and much of Pennsylvania. North Georgia, North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia and maybe Indiana are still in play... Edit to add - Any tree experts that could take a stab at what species of trees are in the photo? That might also help narrow things down a bit... |
