Don't check the state boards much, been to Colorado on the bike, but I can see that some have been busy trying to get this thing off the ground. I like the idea of moving the get togher locations around. Makes it easier for everyone to attend. I'm thinking a weekly meeting is too much.
I think we need a person from the monthly "host" location to set-up a get together and ride. Whether it's a bar-b-que at their house, crawfish boil, a meeting at a bar/grille, whatever, and also plan a 100 mile ride or so in the process maybe to some sort of event. Pick a day, sat/sun on a specific weekend each month so everyone can make plans in advance. I think it's going to have to be the weekends for a couple of reasons. Some will have to ride a couple of hours to get there, kids and school, a saturday would give flexibility on time in case the shindig runs long. Try to plan in conjunction with local events, i.e Crusin the Coast, Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival, SteelPony, Maybe a USM ball game, etc.
What about it? Opinions.
Also, SmoothX, what about getting Lamont to set-up a Gulf Coast X Riders board. Make that the rallying point for all discussions until we can get a good group, then maybe a site of our own?
