[Woot!]

:bump:

Okay time is getting short, we be needing some details, I say we need some details! :)

Where is our cheerless, I mean fearless leader? Is the plan to ride down on May 19th, stay overnight, ride locally on Saturday the 20th and ride home on the 21st?

Its 400 miles one way for me, so darn near a full day just to get there. We need the plan (cough - racer - cough).

:lol:

Woot!

[Termite]

Hey Woot, I was thinking the same thing...ride down Friday the 19th and spend the night locally. As I recall there are a couple of hotels at the US231 exit off I-64. If you're interested in sharing a room let me know.

Termite

[racer04]

Hahahahahaha, had ya all in suspense ...didn't I? And I am fearless, hell, I been married three times....nuff said


The trip will be similar to last years fall trip in that Matt and Karen have graciously agreeded to have a cook out at their home Friday evening...The 19th. And aswas the case last year, those wishing to camp in their back yard (I think its like 3 acres) are welcome to pitch a tent and stay. Some may want to bring sleeping bags and crash on the basement(finished) floor. Ask longnight, or eye in the sky, the accomadations are fine. They stayed their last year.

The actual ride itself will commence Saturday morning at 10:00 A M. with departure from the Waffle House in New Albany. Those coming down sat morning , it's just off theI-64 New Albany exit at (?) mile marker...I'll have to look at the sign in the morning on my way to work...see what it sez.

We'll head out I-64 east, and not to worry...I'll lead. I'll take us all the way in. Their will be various stops along the way to rest a bit, get gas, fill our tanks, etc. When we arrive in Stanton Kentucky we'll go directly to the Abner motel and check in. Y'all need to go ahead and get your reservstions now...like $48.00 a night. Abner's Motel, 606-663-4379 or 606-663-5384, mention you are with the V T X group.

From there we will have different rides to go on to see some of the most beautiful sights ever seen. Bring hiking shoes, cameras, and maybe even the binoculars (sp).

This is always a fun and beautiful trip, and with luck, we'll catch the Roderdendrons in bloom...beautiful!!

Sunday morning we'll ride around the gorge and head over to Natural Bridge. Where for the small sum of $7.00 you can ride a sky train (cable car) up the side of a mountain to see the natural bridge. Again beautiful. fron there we will go to the lodge for Sunday dinner and then were headed home. This was a wonderful trip last year with lotta different people coming along at different parts of the weekend. All had a wonderful time.

So , there it is the details......... C'mon, lets ride!!

Big DAve is considering coming along with his wife...they will be driving the cage, and hes not gonna be doing alot of walking. But we did go look at a 2006 Yamaha 1100 Sliverado this afternoon. Sweet, and I get my ridin partner back.

OK OK, I am ready to go .......... I just hope that you do not lead the WAY!!!

Right, racer? :wink: :lol:

[BigRedXer]

This just to second Racer's Friday night plans.

There will be the SECOND ANUAL PRE-GORGE "COOK-OUT GORGE" OK maybe not a gorge but we'll have a fire and some eats, so come on down and save yourself some riding time Saturday and join us for an old fashion bon-fire.


Bring a tent or bring a sleeping bag and crash on the floor.
For those needing directions send me an email or pm.

[racer04]

Yeah!

What she said, and what he said.

Give us a clue as to how many might be showing up so we can plan the menu accordingly

[longnite69]

Can a person that is not attending the ride still attend the cook out?
Let me know what time the fire starts.

Thanks
Tim

[racer04]

whats that guy on T V say?, "Come on down"?

[Timmer]

The actual ride itself will commence Saturday morning at 10:00 A M. with departure from the Waffle House in New Albany.

Racer-

Are you sure that you were in the right state? No Waffle Houses in Indiana.....

Someplace named "Waffle Steak" 325 Spring Street in New Albany.....

Could that be it????

[blk2002vtx]

You sure ya all know where your head'n sounds like your already lost Waffle What is Waffle Where? LOL

Y'all enjoy the 'cook-out gorge' all most sounds scary! eat a burger 4 me....hope to see everyone again.

[racer04]

Yup, waffle steak place.

Where is it we will be meeting you Timmer, and blk ?

And cg and Nick?
where?
It's looney for y'all to ride to New Albany and go back to Ky.

[Termite]

There's no Waffle House and the hotel never heard of you!! :shock:

Seriously, the two hotel phone numbers you gave are separate places. The 5384 number (Lil Abner) doesn't have a clue about this group. The right number to call is the Abner Motel in Stanton, KY, 606-663-4379

Is this a trick to keep the Okie from showing up?? :lol:

Matt, I'll be attending the cookout (Racer didn't make that up too did he??) but I'll be staying at the Baymont in Corydon so you won't need to cook my breakfast.

Termite

[blk2002vtx]

Don't know bout the Waffle place but there are 2 Abner's and the one we go to is in Stanton the other is closer to the BBQ place I think. Same owner I reckon!

Racer not sure bout the time it takes you but prolly try to catch y'all just east of Lexington if not there at Abners for sure.

We could try to meet at 75 & 64 and I could run on in with you to the Parkway and down to Stanton if your staying on 64. Can you give me an approximate time?

blk

PS got da room

[Country Girl]

You are right Dan, the phone # you posted is for "Abner's". The other Abner is called "Lil' Abner's"

[blk2002vtx]

You are right Dan, the phone # you posted is for "Abner's". The other Abner is called "Lil' Abner's"

Got that room yet? Be see'n you and Nick soon :D

[racer04]

blk, I'm heading off 64 near Lex, goin a back road, over a mountain...senic route. George dollar showed me to it last year. I'll hafta look at a map and determine where it is, but I'll let ya know. Might be better to meet where we get off sixty-four.

and we are staying In Stanton, less ya wanna go someplace else. I've nevewr tried the other place. They have a pool, and ya do not wanna see me in swim gear

Well some might!

But there are too many cameras.........

[blk2002vtx]

Hey Racer,

I can meet everyone most anyplace around Lexington last time I think I left the group at route 460 & 27 and headed north.

Go to: http://google.com/maps

Then in the search box type: rt 460 & rt 27, paris, ky

This will show where I'm talking about. Zoom out and look at the map just tell me where your getting off 64 and about what time and I can be there. I already got a room where we all stayed last year in Stanton nice little place.

blk

PS: i can check and see if Mike is coming again and we can ride down together and meet everyone.

[blk2002vtx]

Hey ther y'all! Didn't even know there was a INDUCKY board!

Wonderd if Race04 or somebody was thinkin ahead to a Red River Gorge ride again?

Loved it last year and would love to ride with y'all as much as possible!!

Mike ya doing this with us? I sent him a email on our SCRC forum also.

[Timmer]

Where is it we will be meeting you Timmer

Doesn't really matter to me.... As easy to get there as anywhere else... only adds about a half hour and provides less opportunity for a certain person to get lost.....

If you're talking about the route that the Lexington Southern Cruisers (G$) take you might mean HWY 52 which is very twisty and brings you into the Gorge from the South. The time I rode that route with them they left from the Cracker Barrel on Winchester Road and rode Winchester East....

Thanks for the correction on the Abners Number..... I wondered why Racer would be staying at Abners Aisan Day Spa????? But what the heck..

Hey y'all,

What time do ya figure you'll be pulling into Stanton on Saturday? Me and Big Jim are pullin in on Friday night. Want to be back to Abner's about the same time to welcome you Indyuckies and so's we're not late for dinner. Jimmy don't like being late for dinner.

I was asking about the 20th. Turns out theres a big group showing up on the 13th. For Saturday the 20th only 3 rooms booked!?! Now theres 5. You guys planning on crashing a campground or something? Anywho, ask for Wilma. Just a thought, maybe the others registered and didn't mention VTX or motorcycles.
