Location Polls for SW Rally

waterman · 10-26-2012, 05:39 PM

Jared and I have pinned down two locations for the 2014 SW Rally. Both locations have the ability for members of either the NW or the SC to attend as they are either on the north or east fringe of the area.

The two locations are Logan, Utah or Taos/Red River, New Mexico. Both are very nice locations.

With the poll I would like to see the interest of members from outside the SW Region. That is why I have two non-SW member responses as well as the member responses to guage the interest from outside the region.

*EDIT

The 2014 Southwest Regional Rally will be held in LOGAN, UTAH!

We have discussed the possibility of having a combined rally with the NW region, but it is still to be finalized. Rides, hotels, dates, etc. are still to be decided.

Joel, you should have added another choice "Doesn't matter - either one is fine".

It doesn't matter to me, I'm fine with either location. I think they are both great places for a rally.

Well, since you pushed me, my preference is indicated in the poll.

There's a 700 mile distance between the two locations. I think the input you're really looking for is from those whose attendance is dependent on the location.

OK since your ignoring me the reason I picked Tahoe is that Kris and Ricky and some of the extreme NW usually like to attend ours. Putting it down south makes it longer than going to the Nat'l for some of these guys. Looking at Tahoe were within 700 miles of almost everyone.

Not ignoring you Brad. I talked with Kris about Logan and he loved that spot. Like I said, we've had 1 in California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado for Regionals. Just looking at the other states.

We will get around to Tahoe. I would like to get up there as well. I just need another year to forget that ride across the Salt Flats and Northern Nevada.

With the Logan, we will still get some from the NW region and if we do the Taos, we would get some from the SC region.

**Jared** · 10-26-2012, 07:50 PM

I vote for Logan. I can run home for lunch between rides.

blowndodge · 10-26-2012, 07:58 PM

that one in California????? Shoot you sound like Trip giving me a geology lesson. I had to drive over 800 miles to get to the same state I live in. I was just trying to center it so it had the best and shortest for most riders. The beauty of the mighty sierras ain't bad either!
