Dates for 2014 SW Regional Rally
Joel and I are discussing dates for the 2014 SW regional rally. We would like to get everyone input. After we've gotten some ideas thrown around, we will start a poll with specific dates and let everyone vote.

Do I get to vote after the decision is made again?

One of the issues we are looking at is 1) Month and 2) time of week. With the time of week do we want to hold it as we have with a mid week (Tues, Wed, & Thurs) or do we want to look at a weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun).

1. I think it fits well with most people's work schedules. 2. Less tourist traffic during the week, especially at places of interest like national parks, monuments, etc. As far as month, May would be nice due to the heat, but that won't work for a lot of people. So not being completely selfish, I vote for a date as "early as possible".

We're going over Monte Cristo and Mirror Lake Pass? Sweet! I don't even think those roads open until Memorial Day.

I guess that is still to be decided, but they are definitely the best riding in the area. If I plan the rides, those two are both gonna happen.

If the rally was on a Fri, Sat, and Sun, I think we'd have a larger attendance and it would require about the same amount of time off (5 days, for most people) for those who have to travel. There are a lot of people (the UT-VROC group is great) who live close enough that they won't have to travel at all, or very little and would definitely attend if it was during a weekend but most likely wouldn't if it required taking time off. Perhaps the 20th,21st, and 22nd?

M-F. That would leave most of us the weekend prior to ride up and the weekend after to ride home. Then M-F to relax, ride, rest and party.
