One of these years I'll make it and meet up with folks. Seeing as this was all but right in my back yard it would have been a great opportunity to, meet, greet & say hello. Vacation schedules and being state-side on vacation seems to be a major PITA when coordinating things.

I will be home from 8/22 - 9/16 though and looking to put some miles on the Busa!

and with that introduction......we come to that hallowed time of year when the plans start for this years Haya's in the Hills. let me be upfront. i have no plans. things happened at last years HIH that, for a lack of a better word, pissed me off. I am a man of my word and i said i wanted to do this years HIH in Ohio and Mr. Droo wanted to assist in planning it. For those who dont know. His brother (who was with us last year) had a bad bike accident. I contacted him and additional family illness has placed additional burden on him. That being said, drew my family's prayers are with you as you continue to work through these difficult times you and your family are having. Mr.Droo was who i was counting on to assist me as i have never been to Ohio nor know the area. Its part of why i move the HIH around. it gives folks opportunity to assist host and show everyone their stomping grounds and it makes it closer for others who would have normally not been able to attend due to distance/finances. So now for me. work is slowing down and i fully expect to be laid off in the next few weeks which has dampened (but not ended) my excitement for putting this on. I am at this point opening this thread up with the spirit of the org and saying....lets start planning this and see where this years journey leads us. Please dont hesitate to offer , suggest, assist in anyway...as my compass is not set for the direction we will be going and doing. i look forward to hopefully seeing old friends and meeting new ones!!

For the next one, let me suggest a very awesome part of the east coast. We normally do the ECHR summer ride there. It starts in Harrisonburg, VA (off I-81), rolls southwest on 42 out of Harrisonburg to 250 west, 250/219 to Elkins, WV, 33 east from Elkins all the way back to Harrisonburg. With stops it is a bout a six hour ride. Lots of scenic stops, places to camp, eat, and some of the most technical and fast riding you will get, aside from the Dragon, not to mention some amazing scenery.
