InZane XIX... location and dates...

[f6gal]

The place:  Taos, NM
The dates:  June 9-14, 2019

Registration will open on or soon after Jan. 1, 2019.

Be there!!

Edit: The hotel has blocked the entire property and conference space for InZane.  So, as long as we fill the place, it's just us.  I love that!

[Serk]

Woot! Can't wait!!

...still can't believe I got beat to the punch by a butcher, but it happens... 

[The emperor has no clothes]

WooHoo ! (Putting it on my work calendar now) Thank You !!!!!

(something about a blind squirrel)   So did you have them accurately tracked ?

Edit, just saw Connie's other post. (See, all those years of NSA work does pay off) 

[baldo]

Woofreakinhoo!!!!!!!!

200 miles than Billings

[RDKLL]

Sweet, if we dont move back to Alabama with her job, I might be able to make it. 530 miles would be very doable one day ride.

[fudgie]

Love the NM mountains. 

[msb]

1560 miles bee-line for me, so add a few hundred or more to make the route interesting... a nice distance. Never been to NM and never ridden in that particular region of the US, so I like the choice. 

[Oss]

That is over 2000 miles  wowee

Unfortunately it will almost surely involve superslab until I am past the Mississippi River to get there in 3 days  Probably will take 4 or more  as mapquest shows 10 hr days without the gas stops

Lets see who is coming out from New England to make a posse

That part of the country is on my bucket list to ride on a bike, have been to santa fe with bonnie in the car though

[f6gal]

Love the NM mountains. 

We have spent the last few days touring the area... Absolutely spectacular!

[Serk]

When I was little (Insert joke here) we used to vacation just down the road in Red River quite often. You dual sport owners might wanna consider bringing that bike in lieu of your Valk!

I'm considering trying to rent a dirt bike or a 4Runner or something for a day, there are some wonderful trails in that area!

(Off the top of my head, look for Old Red River Pass and Fourth of July Canyon)

Woot!

My grandparents would escape the heat of the Rio Grande Valley to Red River every summer.

I always associate this TV show with Taos for some reason. I guess it was the first I heard of it.

64 east of town was narrow and slow but all around good roads.

HEY SERK!   Where is GZ in TAOS ? Do your SERKLE

64 east of town was narrow and slow but all around good roads. 

I have literally ridden thousands of miles in that area. About 90% of the roads are narrow (slow is relative).

We left Cimarron NM on wed (hour + east of taos) and got to Dodge City KS at 3p. Got the hell outta dodge thurs morn and got to central MO and home (ind) on fri. All non interstates except for 80 miles in Ill. So it is do-able, weather depending. 
Cimarron is where "the plains meet the mountains" so after it, it gets slow going (30 mph) due to curves.

Yea I didn't care for it at all. Scary at times rounding the curves east of town. I was 8 days straight in of riding nothing but curves and I was tired of it. Give me a straight plains road and Im happy.  We did like the NM mountains better then Colorado tho. Very pretty.

A very nice venue that will be revealed when you register once registration is open...

(Sorry, I'm pretty sure I got it, but I get the impression staff would prefer we not try to publicly guess at the specific venue to avoid issues with folks trying to book outside the system agreed to with the venue.)

[..]

Does the hotel have a/c in the rooms or swamp coolers?

[thedon]

1216 miles from home.
Don & Barb will be there.

[J.Mencalice]

Yes, forgive my lack of manners. I was so psyched when I read it. Thanks to all that work behind the scenes to put this together for all of us.

Yes, you too, Willow.

Thank you for the commas.  It's a pet peeve, an irritant, with me.    (BTW, I wasn't directly involved in  this process.)

[DarkSideR]

Finally, one that's close enough.  I will be the as a Vendor!

[Daniel Meyer]

So, you plotting your route there via Maine or Florida? Or both? 

[The emperor has no clothes]

Ha ! Only 662 for us Dennis. Probably do 2 days though, 400 is about Brenda's tipping point.

Depends on whether my work schedule will allow me one or two days for travel

[flsix]

Fantastic. My wife is thrilled with the area and will be accompanying me.  

Thank you to the staff for the opportunity to do some longer range planning.

I can't believe we didn't get pics of the 'alternate' poker route!  That would have been exciting!

Mrs. Cindy says sounds great so we're in    thanks to the STAFF your the best

[Farside]

  Beautiful area It is a bit further than the InZane 16 was for me at 1350 miles.   I'll have to see the best way to go staying off the slab as much as possible.    Then find out what other Pan-handle Florida Valk Brothers will want to make the journey too. I've seen N. Mexico but not north N. Mex. but know the area is awesome.   Congrats and Thank you for all the efforts of putting this together.
