Well folks, its getting dangerously close to the the end of the line for properly planning this years DTT Summer GTG.

The original plan was to invade WV again, but after considering the MASSIVE number of people who have shown interest in coming, that doesnt look like it will work. The previous site just cant really handle that many folks, and to be honest, its not really fair to Troy to expect him to host all of us by himself anyway.

Last year, even with the somewhat small group, it was a huge amount of work for Troy and his family to put the GTG togther. With dozens more people, it would simply be overwhelming.

Ok, now that thats out of the way...

WHAT NOW!?

Well, Ive been in touch with a few campsites that look like they would be accomidating. The first is Nelsons Ledges in Ohio. They let the LowBrow guys take over last summer, so I cant imagine they would have a problem with us. Im waiting for a responce from them.

Ive also contacted this campsite, as Ive heard really great things about them: Steel Steeds MC campground (http://www.steelsteedscamp.com/).


Right now from you guys and gals, the biggest thing we need is a pretty good idea of WHO is actually coming this year and when would be best for everyone. Please remember though, that accomidating everyone is impossible, so dont get all pissed off with me if I schedule something and its not exactly when you wanted. Ill try to make everyone happy, but we all know that cant happen.

Theres no reason though, that we cant make this a really great time for everyone involved. Ill just need help from the rest of you to ensure that it goes smoothly.

Hopefully Ill hear back from some places soon, and I have a few more to talk to as well.

Thanks for looking, and if you have any thoughts on a place to meet up, or whatnot lets hear them here. Also, if you plan on being there, PLEASE post it here so I can get a close head count.
Once we know how many folks are coming, it will be 1000x easier to finalize everything. Thanks again!

Oh, and hey Mod!!!! Make this a sticky please! :-*

You all know that I am in.

Mike, just let me know when and where and I will be there. Also, let me know if you need any help with the setup (emailing people, calling people, etc).

I'm definitely in. Try to make it easy as possible on the southern guys to get there.....It was already a 12 hour drive last year. Other than that, game on.
 
Re: THIS SUMMERS DTT GET TOGETHER!!!! IF YOURE IN READ THIS ASAP!!!

Well I am there and hopefully with family in tow as well. Depends on my wifes work schedule. I have not booked any vacation as of yet been waiting to find out the dates for this. As for locatioon? Being one of the farthest away and still on the same continent, I can't really ask for you to make it closer for me, I rode 2600 miles round trip last year, so if it is close to that I will be fine (less would be better though cause I get more time to stay). Also this year I would liek to connect with anybody riding in (if I am riding solo) and I would change up my route and leave a bit early to do it.

I'll need a bit more info, but I'll throw out a "Hell Yeah..."
I mean what are the odds of another cannon ball to the face..........right? No......really....
 
Re: THIS SUMMERS DTT GET TOGETHER!!!! IF YOURE IN READ THIS ASAP!!!

Christina and I are in again..

Ohio or Pittsburgh isn't a bad idea.. hopefully we can lure more west ish people (Chicago).

The only schedule conflict I'm aware of is smoke out east which I know u talked about attending, Mike. I'm gonna make it down there also.

End of July sounds great, but fuck was it hot! hopefully a nice shaded campground and lake are in order.

p.s. there are quarrys inside Nelson's ledges with rocks and cliffs to jump off, as well as a nice man-made beach for more of the family atmosphere for younger kids and the Like.

Oh yeah.. lets do a group ride this year! We tried hard last year but kept hitting speed bumps :-(
 
Re: THIS SUMMERS DTT GET TOGETHER!!!! IF YOURE IN READ THIS ASAP!!!

I am going to do everything I can to make it this year. It will be a long drive from the left coast, but totally worth it.... I just need to know when and where so I can make plans

Maybe cruz out out with Todd and I? You would only need to do 800 miles or so by your self that way... And it would lessen the expenses for the 3 of us.

You know Tennessee is always an option too. I say this because for gods sake....The Blue Ridge Parkways is there. Along with the Dragon's Tail, Deal's Gap, the Great Smoky Mountains, camping out the ass (biker friendly too....been there a few times), and you name it really. Just a thought.

Yeah I though a lot about you Mike. That was the only downside. It would be near the same for the west boys if they changed their route up. It would split the difference between me and the Penn crew. It's about 6 hours for each of us. It is completely gorgeous. Just trying to think of a worthwhile place for us to all travel to that isn't horrible on everyone.
 
Re: THIS SUMMERS DTT GET TOGETHER!!!! IF YOURE IN READ THIS ASAP!!!

Ya, if we are going to travel 2500 + miles, it would be nice if it was a worth while destination ya know?
