Damn, I could put together a mini one...but with work it's really hard to plan ahead. I really want to go back to Hocking Hills State Park, roads and wilderness are awesome.

Yeah I've been there on a road bike because my family camped there a few time, but that was before I got the ninja. Great hills!
I guess I keep forgetting that Hocking Hills State Park is here. It's like 3 hours from me. A little too far for a day trip. I might be able to stay with a friend at OU though and go ride while he has class |

Once I have the map routed, I will post it up and we can figure out a meet point/date/time... Excited to have you along! Are you familiar with long rides? 500+ miles/day?

I plan on making some long trips prior to this one come summertime. So, I'll be sure to have my fair share of rideage in And I can't wait!
Also, if we need a design for the patches i could come up with something and buy however many we need. |

These are the 2 options for routes I'll be taking heading out to the Rally. Maybe we can meet up in Cincinatti?

90 Days and Counting guys and gals,
Before the Ninja 250 Rally 2012 will be underway, so start getting your final plans ready to attend. It should be a blast like last year. Maybe even a few newer riders and some from last year. This year's ride will be real nice with access to a lot more amenities and things to see. Hopefully there will be an Itinerary coming soon. For those who have not been keeping up....This Rally is heading places and one of them is The Diamondback http://www.diamondbacknc.com/ North Carolina's last alternate route! Sweeping curves, amazing scenery and cool mountain breezes make the Diamondback, NC 226A, one of Western NC's last great mountain roadways. The Diamondback, NC's 226A is loaded with switchbacks looping almost 360-degrees. Runs of S-curves climb and twist sharply as they snake through lush green forest in route to the Blue Ridge Parkway just above Spruce Pine, North Carolina. It's one of the best kept secrets in the Southeast. Here's the details! The Diamondback WHERE: NC 226A in McDowell and Mitchell counties - ends at Gillespie Gap/NC 226 S LENGTH: 12 miles TOTAL NUMBER OF CURVES: Over 190 AVERAGE NUMBER OF CURVES PER MILE: 15.8 per mile TOTAL NUMBER OF SWITCHBACKS: 12 TOTAL NUMBER OF S-CURVES: The Diamondback/226A is 12 miles of S-Curves interrupted by switchbacks! The Diamondback Loop WHERE: NC 226A, Blue Ridge Parkway, and NC 80 LENGTH: 41.8 miles TOTAL NUMBER OF CURVES: 425 AVERAGE NUMBER OF CURVES PER MILE: 10 per mile TOTAL NUMBER OF SWITCHBACKS: 33 - 4 at the top of the NC 80/The Devil's Staircase portion are in a "run" TOTAL NUMBER OF S-CURVES: The Diamondback/226A portion is a series of S-Curves interrupted by switchbacks! There's a series of 11 on NC 80 alone. One series is more than 1 mile long! Many of us will be staying and meeting up here: Quality Inn & Suites Biltmore East 1430 Tunnel Rd. Asheville, NC 28805 |

To do that we'd have to get up there first, and I can attest, a carb'd 250 is not so happy up there...

Well, it's the thought that counts :P
And, some people converted theirs to FI, so maybe all 3-4 ---or however many of them there are --- could go |

I saw something about Eureka Springs, AR on the first page. A rally there wouldn't be bad as I am within two hours of there lots of great roads to cruise. It would be great to make some new friends, the other 250 riders here just aren't any fun anymore!
If there is anything midwest I would definitely be in for a trip!

Logan: Eureka Springs is the Concours rally. My father and I are going, and i MIGHT take the 250. It is june 11-15th. If you can meet up with us and ride some thatd be cool!
Harrison: I am hoping on leaving wed after work (4 or 5) and going on into asheville. But that can always change. The rally actually starts on thurs and not too many people are there by then. Its really up to whomever wants to go. We could always meet up thurs morning and take some backroads to asheville, over the mountain to the dragon and then on into asheville. Im flexible! |

Eric I was wondering when you were going to head over. Since you're being generous and all I didn't know when you were showing up I wont be able to get off this wed after work then I'll be able to meet up somewhere or something. Have you heard from Paul (Momaru)?
Sean you should make it, had a dozen there last year, this year is going to be BIGGER and BETTER! |

I'm seriously considering doing this. I probably won't know for sure until it gets closer to time, but I'd love to go. I'm hoping I'll be able to meet up with some people to make the ride down together.

This rally looks cool! I've never done anything like this. Unfortunately I don't have a bike yet. I'm doing my msf in July so I'm not sure how much time I'll get on a bike before this happens. Not sure if going this year is a wise decision or not though. Even though its only a five hour drive from my home I'm not sure if all the corners are going to be good for a noob

Otherwise the rooms are $110 a night there (kinda high ... eek) I'm am in need of new gear right now (Icon jacket zipper busted) and need some pants and new jacket for the trip... a few ppl have sent a few donations for the gear fund, since I am providing the rooms. I'm not forcing ppl to donate to stay in a room, but it will help get a spot, as it seems like we might have more ppl going than the rooms will hold w/ 15 just from the other forum. Anyone wanting to donate to the Eric's gear fund / food fund for the trip may paypal my forum username@gmail.com and please put a note of your forum username / which forum your from. If you do donate, please keep it in reason!!! I do not expect anyone to give me $110 per night.. I did the rooms to SAVE ppl money so they CAN make the trip... my gear issue is a deterrent that would keep me from going in first place, so some others started the donation fund so I CAN go So far I only have a few confirmed ppl I know for sure is staying in a room...I will start a list and post it here.. if those wanting to RSVP please add your name to list and repost it |

Rooms already taken care of, that's awesome Eric, thanks! I'll see if I can't chip in to your gear fund in the next day or two (gearing up to ride atm) and I'll bring cash for the room.
If we can get 4 people per room, or even 3, that's a right nice price. Even $55/night if you split with one other isn't bad at all.
