2018 Rally Location ---> POLL

Your point is well taken. Anyone who is not physically fit should plan the altitude part of a Co. trip by carefully taking incremental stages along the way and go easy on the booze.

Now that I've said that out loud I wanna go east to what BigDawg refers to as the Bourbon Trail and the smell of horse shit...whaaaaaaa

I'll probably pass Will as he heads west. Dang!

I chuckle every time the talk is about “west coast” and the location is Colorado. Maybe there should have been locations actually on the west coast, ie California, Oregon, or Washington. Some great riding out there on the “west coast”, whereas Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and New Mexico are the Rockies. Just saying!

As I see it in the poll there are three more or less specific locations and and a choice for anywhere. Stopover Ky. is about as far east as you can go in KY. and it is about 450 miles from the closest spot on the coast. Cherokee NC. at the east end of the Smokies is about 475 miles from the coast. the closest Co. comes to the coast is about 1,000 miles. So saying any of these choices is east or west coast is a long stretch. 500 miles is more than most people want to ride in a day, so getting to any of them from a coast is probably a multi-day trip for most attendees. The Smoky Mountains are by far the smallest area of the three named choices. All three named choices have great riding opportunities to recommend them. Attempting to keep the rally in one part of the country or another will always exclude some of the greater community, while moving locations will exclude others sometimes. The F6B will take you anywhere in the lower 48 in less than two days if you have the will to make it do so. Not going someplace because it is just too far is just an excuse. If you can take five to nine days for the rally you could attend regardless of location. Work, money and other obligations will always be a roadblock for some. Lets just pick one the spots mentioned in the poll and go from there.
