Mike, you don't talk like a New Englander. Not sure what's wrong with you... What I bring to sip probably won't be a surprise. I promise to enjoy what anyone else brings

I'm assuming if I haven't heard from one of the regulars I need to hold their room.
Hi Melissa et al ! I'm assuming I'm a regular, but I won't be able to make it this year  . You can save room 11 for me next year!  Y'all have fun, take lots of pics and be safe! Cheers, Steve

So I have the Edwards crew for their villa, Lannis called me about their villa, Willie emailed me that their not going to make it this year, I'll put Steve down for 111 for 2020, I'll put Whatley down for 2020, let me know if I missed anyone.
So this year's ride has 12 rooms booked, so I'm going to have to rent some rooms to normal people, so I expect you all to be on your best behavior this year. Don't make the WV side of me have to come out!!!
See you guys in a couple of weeks.
Sweet Melissa

After four years, I am not going to be able to make this year. I am going to miss the camaraderie, the bikes, et al. Mike G. - we talked about sharing a room, I wanted to give you a heads up. Best wishes to all and have a safe ride.

Hey now, you guys back off Commando and his slightly abnormal owner, Richard is about the only Brit Bike member I hear from other than your normal weekend at the hotel. Besides a girl from the mountains of WV that was an art major can't exactly throw stones at others!!

did the route and sadly the 45 mile section of the parkway is still there. now that i have your attention all the roads were in good shape and the gas stops are OK also. looking forward to seeing you lot in a few days. also as of today the weather is looking good but that is subject to change but it will be cool mid week so bring some warm gear and dont forget the wet gear also just in case.

My son and I will be there Friday morning. Anyone have a spare motorcycle? His Bonnie is having issues...we have a Boyer box on order. Hopefully that is the fix. We shall see.
