FWIW, Mike's XS has provided us with some very generous support. A big box of goodies from them has just arrived. Don't miss out on this one!
<snip> It is a selfless act, to put in the energy required into making such an event successful. Although you have said there are many more involved in the rally, your input on here will help to make the rally more than just a gathering.
Hey Marty, Marlin from Flowery Branch. Got my son's wedding this Saturday and been taking off a lot of days. Your weekend is gonna be beautiful. Don't know if I can make it. Want to at least to ride with you guys 1 day or drink some beer at least one night. Do tenters need reservations? Maybe next year. Need a nudge. Don't know if I can carry a tent, sleeping bag and beer like you did. Aaaaaahhhhhh!
Here, here.......................
I've only attended one of these events (last year) and I can tell ya, yes there are others helping out ( and doing a fine job of it) but it doesn't take long to see how much Marty puts into this. He's everywhere, making people feel welcome and I don't know if he knows how much that means to someone new to the group....I'll tell ya for me, it's priceless and something I won't forget.
