2018 Rally Location ---> POLL

[Bunny]

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.

[Walcrow]

I also have a room booked in Montrose as I got one when it was posted several weeks ago. I'm keeping mine. If the Rally is held in Grand Junction, it's only 60 short miles from Montrose, and I can most likely get there in less than one hour. No big deal.

Bunny, Walcrow, what is the rate you got in Montrose?

[Walcrow]

I've got all the info at the office. I'll post it later this morning.

The MONTROSE location is a Old former Motel6

The reviews are NOT good and the rates are too high for such a low quality Hotel. This former Motel 6 was not our first choice from the beginning, but had availability, it was selected by default. Ranks at the bottom of reviews.
The better hotels in the area are much higher and cannot accommodate our group size.

Grand Junction is where we found much BETTER Hotels that can accommodate our group with more amenities.
We strongly suggest that those of you that have booked at Montrose, cancel your reservations. We found a great hotel (still working out the details for our F6B Riders) with much better reviews for about the same rate or slightly less $$$ for just a single queen. All afternoon events will be held in a privately reserved room.

SO just block off the same dates on your calendar and be patient, its still TOO early. We already have local F6B Riders planning our rides departing from Grand Junction. It is a very convenient meeting place just off I-10

I'm sure Phantom meant just off I-70 not I-10.

Cool. I read that other post where you stated you were working on a location that was "Top 3 in Montrose", but it must not have been the same place.

Years ago, when I rode a VTX, I went to the Coloradical, which was put on by the Colorado VTX riders, (Big Larry may have gone to one or two). We stayed at the La Quinta in Lakewood, CO; a western suburb of Denver. Great spot, close to as much riding as one would ever want, and not as far for the Eastern F6B folks as Grand Junction. Just throwing it out there...

Yep, I was there for the first one on July 4th. Great spot for some fantastic riding with a fine hotel http://www.laquintadenverswlakewood.com/ that did everything to make our stay one of the best, there was a great steak house right next door too. I did my first iron-butt ride with a VTX1800 on that ride to my home from there, 1,224 miles in 23.5 hrs and 100+ deg heat all the way.
