Routes and Arrival Time National Rally
Alright SE VBA riders about time to let everyone know which route you are taking to the National Rally and time frame and where some of us might meet up along the way I live in East Tennessee and as of now will arrive on Monday 22nd if enough want to get there earlier I would consider adding a day or two on the front end by arriving on either SAT or Sun.

Tom, I'll be leaving on Friday the 19th and should be arriving on Sunday the 21st. Not sure of the exact route that I'm taking. My riding buddy is coming along and we have not hashed out the route yet. We'll be camping each night.

Tom, you riding or trailering? Is Connie going? We're leaving on the 20th with Dick & Marge, going up toward Illinois then looping down and arriving on Monday. After the rally Diana and I are going to Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas to visit family, then ride the Gulf coast back to Florida, then home by July 4th.

All depends if I can get Connie to pull the trailer I will ride if have someone to ride with if we have to travel by ourselves I will trailer it so Connie can go and be happy. We are flexible as far as when to leave and how to go I just do not like to go thru Illinois (carry issues) will probably go just above Tennessee line or just below it and decide what to do when we get close to Memphis

We are still debating on how and when. We will have just gotten back from Jake's wedding and leaving sometime either Friday or Saturday, depending on route we choose. I know DaBull is going up from Crestview with a group.
Don't really want to do a ton of I riding if I don't have to. Done enough of that lately.

Kawhead ask me early if Sue could ride in truck with us from Tn I have not heard from him lately I was thinking if Connie would pull the trailer I would ride with Mike and anyone else who was along our route once we figure out when and where

Looks like our routes will be close I was looking at Batesville for spending the night on one of our routes waiting on Kawhead - kawgirl , Todd to see their route and what days they are leaving.
