Not me. I've had enough of straight roads, heat and too strong sidewind. Wimp.

My point was that your comment (Anywhere that doesn't involve riding across the "flatlands") is impossible to achieve.  People live on opposite sides of the country.

And some of us love the "flatlands" riding. By the times I've hit great mountain roads, my mind is in a better state of being.

Not disputing that. Just, I wont be.

I don't know.  There is something to be said for the wide open spaces and nice clean, straight and unpopulated roadways.

Not Sure but headed toward US 2 in North Dakota


US 2 Headed West in North Dakota

The last was in the west and the two before that were in the east. How about somewhere near Branson, Missouri?  Geographically, it's almost in the very center of our country.   I don't know much about riding around there, but I'm sure someone else can help with that.

Hey all... We don't mind suggestions; however, we just don't have time to investigate every area that is thrown out.  If you submit a suggestion, please include a hotel that will meet our needs (approx 140-150 rooms and banquet seating for 300).  If you're willing to do some investigating, we are more likely to consider your suggestions.  

P.S.  This year will be East of the Mississippi River.

Where ever it may be I hope to be there. Family obligations didn't allow me to make it last year.

Then why would you even bother posting?

I'm interested in hearing from folks that will be interesting in attending and contributing.

The riding near and around Branson is great.  Unfortunately, their busy season corresponds with our time to gather.  We need a hotel that is motivated to deal with us to get our business.

Ozark's are a great area. Just WEST of the Mississippi. But Center of the US. And beautiful riding.

Heading back to Eureka Springs, Arkansas would be great we were there in 2012 and loved it.

My original post was a simple statement of preference.

I know the girls are working on it Ill throw out the first possibility Vermont or New Hampshire

I second this suggestion!

Some pretty country for sure.

But No Sweet Tea, No Biscuits & Gravy and No Grits.

Some of us just wouldn't be able to stand it.

Also can't get to 'em without going through the no-go zone of New York state...

[carolinarider09]

Vermont does have some very very lovely scenery.   And did have some very nice roads and yes, I don't like riding through most parts of New York, but did find a good BBQ place their one trip. 

Seymour Lake




And Yes I was thrilled with my visit there.   It was memorable.

I like your way of thinking, being from MO wine country.
I plan on being there wherever it is.

      I enjoyed Eureka Springs!  BUT it were HOTHOTHOT and I was 10 year younger!  I'll just let our marvelous Staff do their thing. Since I've been here Staff has a Knack fer knockin it outa the park!  RIDE SAFE. And YES I KNOW there IS a lot of work and personal expense sorting it all out. So T I A!

Wow!! I never realized that!

I had a friend spent 3 days in Canada and only realized he had been carrying his grand ma's revolver the evening he was back in the US. Not something I would suggest trying.

You can have the Branson Eureka Springs area, we were down there around June 10 and thought that whole  area sucked. I absolutely hated it way to much heavy traffic. We went down for a time share deal  $$ to help Vets on PTSD. The big Radison Hotel in Branson was a piece of crap.  The Springfield Bass pro museum and aquarium was spectacular and if you are even close you need to visit it. I could of easily spent 5 hours there.   
My riding days  are really slowing down cause my wife won't hardly get on the bike after my very close friend was mowed down and killed 2 years ago. I've had 4-5 rides this year. I'm not going to tell you I've got the world by the tail up here you'll have to find that out yourself.

I will put in my 2 cents for Western PA

Perhaps a venue like Washington & Jefferson college can hold us as school is out in early June
 It is just south of Pittsburgh  near WV and not far to the grand canyon of PA and Watkins Glen and the finger lakes of NY southern tier

Lots of nice country out there
and I believe Morgantown can also hold all of us

Except for just north of the Finger Lakes.   Last time we tried to have dinner in Seneca Falls, we had to walk around to several restaurants to find anyone that would even speak with us about waiting lists, etc.  Finally found one that would put our name on their list.  Riding between the finger lakes is really a nice rural ride. 

And we got to stop at Watkins Glenn.

Nashville, IN. Easy access and adjacent to Brown County State Park. Columbus, IN is 20 mi. away if lodging at Nashville isn't enough. Lots of designated rides in the area. Also Bean Blossom north of Nashville is the home of Bill Monroe bluegrass legend. Nashville has a lot to offer as it is destination for bikers on the weekends especially in the fall. I can see 150 Valk's terrorizing the HD rider's downtown.  

[rocketray]

springfield would have multiple hotels pick from from and some pretty short rides to excellent riding and the further riding for a week or two..5,7,9.341,215 and so much more
