    North meets South this year?

    Is there going to be a north meets south ride this year? I haven't seen anything on this topic and I believe last years ride was around Memorial Day. Any ideas?

    It didn't work out too well in the 1860s.

    Maybe someone from the Springs BESIDES ME makes it there when everyone is leaving, unlike last year...

    I would have been there last year but went down on the bike the weekend before. I think you were with me on that ride.

    I contacted Mayo last week, and he said he was up for setting it up again this year, so I'm gonna wait a little longer and see what he has to say, mainly because I don't feel like putting forth the effort to set it up on my own

    So glad you piped up. Couldn't remember who set it up previously. And now my memory has been refreshed

    Ended up needing way more space than that last year. It was a really big turnout.

    Interested if the date works out (early June is ideal for me, like the weekend after Memorial).

    We had the whole back room last year. I think we need the front too
    Maybe time things so that we get there a little before or a little after their lunch rush?

    Ah, I missed the "tradition" part- apparently I'm still a clueless noob. Will have a better idea of my participation later- hard to say for that particular weekend. But I'm sure this'd be fun either way.

    ... but thanks for asking. Weekends of June 4 or 11 are still open for me if there's another ride going on.

    screw tradition, let's pick a sensible time when the road MIGHT have less traffic on them... Do lunch around 2pm or something.... While everybody else be eating, we be riding, and vis-a-vis

    Let's do it on a Wednesday, there won't be any traffic then.

    Tradition is for religious freaks. Modern intelligent people have minds that have developed flexibility and common sense for reasons of survival.

    Okay, maybe not... but I still agree with the Spoophmeister General. Screw tradition!
