Suggestions

Well, I'll stick my foot in the water with a few ideas. My first choice would be some place approximately the same distance from the middle as Nashville was last year. That would be Bloomington, Mn or Dallas, Tx or the Denver area. Several years ago, I attended a 3 day event in Colorado Springs and not only enjoyed the great scenery but it was a small enough town to get around easily and provide some mountain riding.

We're spoiled living in the mid west where a circle including Indianapolis, Bloomington, Dallas and Denver are all about the same distance for us. The problem is trying to find a location that a greater number of Captains can join us.

I know it's hard for the two coasts to make such a long journey and maybe we should divide the country into, lets say, 8 sections. Each year we'll ride to a different one and thus giving at least those close to that section a chance to realistically attend. East coast riders probably won't make it to Arizona or California and West coasters will more than likely miss a get together in Vermont.

What might be an alternative is several sections that are too far away from wherever we choose could hold a mini rally. Then the following year, the other farthest away sections would do the same. Of course, it would be great if anyone wants to IRON BUTT.

Just a thought.
