Wait as long as you want, it's fine with me, I have no dog in this hunt.
I'll call and check it out...
Quick update:
Just talked to Kent at Bar 717... he's the guy on the other end when Marsh arranged this venue for the '12 WCR, so we're a well understood motorcycle gang and they're open to having us again...
Basic rundown I asked for was:
20-25 bikes, maybe 30-35 people (might be optimistic, but let's start conservative)
Most arrivals Thursday night (5/30/19), but no meal required... just a fire in the group dining area.
Friday/Saturday - breakfast, take away lunch, and dinner with evening fire in dining area
Sunday (6/2/19) - breakfast and late checkout
Kent will develop a proposal for us. Like last time we'll try to get everyone's in/out times and meals accounted for to some extent, but this sort of package deal is always better for those that take the whole package and don't try to pick it apart. I'm also willing to be the single contact point for Kent (at his request)... getting everyone's details and payment settled so Kent doesn't end up talking to 25 people. This role sucks, but someone's got to do it. I'll be a bit more brutal than Marsh was however... deadlines with consequences I'll publish in advance. As long as information and monies are delivered per schedule everything will be handled. Exceptions will likely be dismissed... unless of course I'm trying to build a hotel in your country and need a favor.
Those that attended Hayfork last time can attest to how comprehensive it was. RPM's Fall rally is the closest thing I've been to and this one has more group time with communal meals and a nice gathering area with fireplace in case the rain does make for a short day. It will be on the expensive side, but I believe the convenience and the resulting focus on riding the bikes and enjoying the community is worth the premium. If I remember right, my bill for the 3 nights described above was $275 or so... let's see where we come in this time.
Next update when I have numbers for everyone... I told Kent we want to have this option fleshed out for a vote within a week or two.
