General Questions for rally's
What is the consensus . :
Do most people like 2 day or 3 day or more?
Do most people like Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon. Or Sun ,Mon,Tues and Wed.?
Do we like just long rides or a destination.?
Do we like open menus or buffet ( breakfast or dinner ) ?

John,
To answer your questions, it is [B][FONT="Arial Black"][SIZE="6"]YES![/SIZE][/FONT][/B] pepper
[SIZE="5"][U][B][COLOR="Blue"]We like them all.[/COLOR][/B][/U][/SIZE]

Yes is not the answer to multi choice questions. But thanks for the input.ThumbUp

Three days or more.

#1 Three days or more.
#2 Mon. Tue. Wed. are usually more economical and rides less crowded,but are harder on people that are not retired.
#3 Personal choice I think.I like to ride so the more the better for me,however for some a 50 mile ride is plenty.
.#4 Menue I eat way to much at buffets.

More important are the other questions.
Mid week or weekend. ( Fri thu Mon or Sun thru Thurs.)
Sit down menus or pizza , hot dogs ,buffet style?
Just rides or a venue.
