[gordonv]

Valhalla - September 10-13 @ Johnny's Motel in Grand Forks, BC (the weekend after Labour Day)

Reservations can be made by calling Johnny's direct @ 250-442-8242, indicating that you are with the Valhalla Valkyrie group. Or you can reserve online @ www.johnnysmotel.ca

I will post back later to advise when the reserve will come off the Motel, and they will start booking others. My reservation is already made. You can always cancel, but when it's booked or released it may be harder to get a room. Some riders have shared their rooms with double beds.

Good day Gordon,

Are you aware of any Ontario Valkyrie Riders group still functioning?

Actually be able to attend this year after several years of being away right about the time this rally takes place. Have booked, looking forward to attending, yet am not seeing a lot of action on the board concerning this event.
Is this still happening?
I confess I am not much of a poster, apologies, but I do enjoy a good meet with fellow riders.

Sorry people, it's a cop out, but there has been very little excitement posted here, and that is my fault. My last time ride was the 2024 Valhalla ride.

We did have our gathering this last weekend, and we have already blocked off the Whole Inn for next year too, so we will be back.

A little update.

We had a total of 14 attendees and 8 motorcycles. People came from Prince George - Van Island - Spokane - Manitoba and all points between. It always nice having our wives coming and attending these Rallies, there was 6 of them. DT Grand Forks was not far away, and most of them walk over for snacks and some shopping.

The Grand Fork riders where mostly our of town on trips or working, and none the others showed up. We missed Sandie's great deserts and coffee, and great tour of Lyle's man cave for any emergency bike repairs. Maybe next year?

The Inn was running at less than half of it's regular capacity.



Seems a vehicle fire last fall spread thru the roof and took our more than half of the inn, unites 12-26. Re-construction should start this fall, and they are hoping for a rapid rebuild for next years crowds.

Here are our resent attendees off for a Sat ride with Dave. L-R in the picture: Reg, Dave, Elliot, Peter, Margaret. One other rider went along, Bernie.



Elliot and Peter are on a long ride home to Saskatchewan and Manitoba, but Elliot was going to add some more pictures after getting home.

We did our usual things, a meet up around the fire pit on Sat night, most had BBQ dinner cook on site, gift exchange, talking, and catching up with good friends, and fellow enthusiasts.

I've been attending the Valhalla Rally since I got my first Valkyrie in 2010, others have been doing it longer than that. Unlike last year, there was no fire issues or smoke in the air. Weather was cold mornings with comfortably warm days. Sunday was the only change, with early morning drizzle before most of us even woke up.

I'll post soon on next years Rally, but it will be the same place and time, the Thursday to Sunday after Labour Day Monday.


All the pictures I took, I uploaded here,
