TTR-V - Rally In The Valley 2012

[icebite1]

Just reading thru here see that the meal and "party" will be at the motel, is that correct? If so whch motel? I know the 2 motels are next door to each other.

Just a thought but wondering how we will get that many bikes/people into such a small area. Many are not staying at these 2 motels.

[Nana]

Because we have the entire facility of both motels (Best Western and Microtel), the parking areas and property of both are available to us completely, and there is generous parking lot area. See the aerial view at this link. You can click on "Bird's Eye View" if it opens to map instead of aerial view:

The meal ,"Main" party is Saturday, correct?

[Nana]

That is correct...... Saturday afternoon, so still time for a ride in the morning

Hello NANA My name is Carl we are new members TTR and would like to get to meet new friend. We just reserved a room for the 2012 rally. Was wondering if anyone out Okla way was going to the rally and would like a tag a long on the trip out? We would like to make the D-tail going out or on return. We ride a Yamaha Stratoliner trike. I'm new at this site so if you answer this don't think I'm ignoring you but it may take me a while to figure out how to answer you...Thank You..Carl & Marquetta

• ROOM RATE: $80.00 + tax per night on all rooms (usual weekend rates up to $129.00/night)
• Motels are held exclusively for us until March 31, 2012 at which time any un-booked rooms will be made available to the general public.

I thought the parking lot last year was on the full side but we will make the best of it. Had a GREAT time last year and really looking forward to the Rally this year. Good times will be had by all.

welcome aboard Carl see ya at the rally.

FYI- I am told that the Best Western is pretty close to, if not completely sold out to our members at this time, but you can call to confirm. The Microtel, which is directly next door is a slightly newer property and appears from the site photos to have larger rooms, and has an indoor heated pool and a meeting room which we will be using. Its starting to book up but there are plenty of rooms left at this time. That will be changing though as we had enough attendees last year to more than fill up the number of rooms of these two properties.

Both of the properties are owned and managed by the same people and both are very nice. You wont go wrong with either one. The Legends Sports Grill is directly next door and was a popular gathering place during the last two rallys. I didnt go, but I hear the food and atmosphere was good and the tales were long and tall. If you plan on attending, please make your reservations at one of these two as soon as possible. You'll have a great time with some fine folks and the rides and scenery are amazing.

Also BE SURE to mention that you are with the TrikeTalk / T.O.I. Rally group to get the discount rate.

It is exciting to see names and locations as more and more are planning on being at the rally!

Be sure to go to the rally web page also and click on REGISTER (find it at this link: http://www.triketalk.com/forum/trike...er-online.html).

• Go to GUEST BOOK to register. There are no fees for the rally, however it helps us enormously with our planning to know about how many are coming, and it sure makes name tags simpler to make them ahead!
• Sign up and pre-pay for the catered rally picnic. You will shortly receive two meal vouchers in an email from Adventuredothan@hotmail.com. You will need to print these and bring them with you to the rally.

The rally web page Marge made has sure improved and streamlined this process, and she has it all well organized and updates the data regularly. Keep checking in as she will be adding a rally schedule and other planning details as we get closer to the date.

You folks do an EXCELLENT job setting up the Rally. It is WELL organized. It takes alot of effort and commitment to make it happen. My HAT is off to all of you.

+1 on that.

M/OM Socko, look forward to seeing you guys again this year, now that we know where Coupe has been stashing all the root beer he owes everyone we should be good to go.

It is certainly good to hear you are going to be there again this year. From my last post with Coupe he is also planning to be there also. He owes us dearly with the Diet Root Beers. He can't hide them from M3 as he found out last year.

You don't have to hide it. Just bring plenty to share. Don't be like Coupe and sneak off.

I couldn't help myself.

Just finished reading all 99 posts on the 2012 Rally and I'm excited to be coming to my first TrikeTalk Rally. Wife Bobbi and I will be riding down from Aurora, IL. We have a room at the Best western. When I called the Best Western this last Thursday, they had 3 or 4 rooms left and I took one. We'll be in the back building on the first floor. I'm coming to Ride and will really enjoy meeting some of the folks on the Forum. Ride Safe and see you all in June!!
