I just had a meeting with the manager of the Super 8 in Sparta about the potential availability of rooms. She told me that the weekend (actually Friday) would be VERY crowded, as there are several large events planned since last year. All the area motels/hotels told me the same thing...They would have to raise their rates from the normal week day rate to $125+ tax...If we shift the dates by a little...we can still keep Rudy's Bike Night as part of the reunion, and save a lot of money on the lodging. I had originally planned to have the rooms available from Wed. the 20th for early arrival/registration, and then having the first real event on Thursday...but that would require staying over Friday night for most people...Sooooo, if we shift it to the 18th through the 21st, (Tuesday through Friday)...the room rate, inc. tax would be $72.50 per night...Since we have nearly a year to plan the dates, I can't see it making too big an impact. By making Thursday the last rally day, Rudy's Bike night in La Crosse could be our "banquet" event. Please let me know what you thing asap so I can get the dates locked in.

Week days makes it hard for us working folks....  If all the events next year are scheduled for during the week, there is no way I could do all of them.  Do it when you can do it - but keep in mind a during-the-week schedule will undoubtedly decrease your turn out by X%, whatever it turns out to be.

I support the name "Drift In" no matter where the gathering is.

It is still too far for me as well. In late August, I am toting my trailer from Seattle to San Diego, which is 1500 miles one way.... but that would only be 2/3 s of the way to your place. Too far for me!

Who's in the bathroom? How much longer? you've been in there for over 20 minutes! C'mon, I'm telling Daddy Troll!
Just kidding, but I am interested in riding Wisconsin.

As a fellow cheddar-head, I'm all for it. Count me in. Time for me to get out of Harley country and head west.

Man! I'm interested in Wisconsin, but this is starting to sound too much like my childhood!
