Just scheduled my vacation so I hope to make the trip and meet some of you guys.
In negotiations with a large hotel that has plenty of indoor AIR CONDITIONED gathering space (a banquet room where we can all gather in after our rides).
I have been told that AUGUST is still considered "PEAK season". Rates for a decent hotel are at a premium ($110 - $130).
I have also been told that a Tent in the evening is NOT a good idea ... TOO HOT, The hotel lady has told me that the temperature in the late afternoon can still be between 90 to 100 degrees. (75-85 in the mountains while riding)
I am trying to negotiate rooms for around $80-$90 with a free banquet room.
Location is also convenient to reach ....
GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO
Great rides to the North, East and South
Several restaurants and conveniences nearby.
Further details to follow.
Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

So Tony, looking at the dates in this thread so far... next year is going to be a back to back Rally, correct? First we head to Colorado and then afterwards, we all boogie to Cherokee, N.C.?
If so... sounds like a plan man. I'm in

You have nearly 4 days to make your way into Cherokee
Leaving Grand Junction Sunday 8-26-17 around 9-10am arriving in Cherokee on Wednesday 8-29-17 around 3-5pm
The ride between Grand Junction and Cherokee is approximately 1700 miles, take some detours.
I figure that I will Drive/Ride on Sunday until 8-9pm 650-700 miles, spending the night somewhere around SALINA, KS.
Monday morning hitting the road around 8am riding another 700-750 miles and stopping just south of Nashville around 8-9pm (Murfreesboro area). Tuesday morning hitting the road around 9am and taking my good ole time getting into Cherokee through the mountains, arriving in Cherokee Tuesday afternoon and winding down, catch up on some business and maybe visit a masseuse at the Harrahs casino. Wednesday morning hitting the Grocery store and the High Octane mountain water stores. Need to re-stock the supplies for the weekend. TOO EARLY to even think about this, my itinerary may change.

i got lost in the shuffle here - so the rally is NOT in Montrose now - where is it being held . . . i've made a hotel reservation in Montrose - should it be cancelled. . . . if it is not in Mpntrose why was it changed. . . . curious Bunny.
