hello all, hey just confirmed the details for the cog in canaan weekender and they are still going to give us a great rate at 59.00 a night and quite possibly be in their new building if it is completed, canaan is always a great time and we are looking forward to seeing everyone there,all the details are located on the schedule page and if you need more info hit me up, as jason says  book those rooms  :)    thanks joe
 
We just came back from weekend of skiing at Canaan Valley.
Renovations are underway at the lodge!
The lobby is all gone! Snack bar is now registration.
Can't wait to see it when its done.

I was really looking forward to this. Called the resort, and found out the block of rooms is down a flight of stairs.

That was the end of it for me. Maybe next year if the rooms are where I can get to them.  :beerchug:
 
Can't make the Dog Days and this will be a new area for me so I will make this one.Kind of a tossup for me as the Lake George week end is the same time and 350 miles closer.
 
I rode through Canaan Valley over the weekend..........

The resort renovations are going strong! I can't wait to see the view from the top floor windows overlooking the valley!
Jason
 
hey, hope you all can make it, the canaan area has awesome roads in any direction you travel, book those rooms and have good tires  :motonoises:
 
I called last week and booked a room also.
Can only come for one night, but hoping we get to stay in the new wing!
jason
 
Been wanting to get back to Canaan for a few years, but not in the cards this year. Had to choose Lake George over this to ease the logistics... need to be home by mid-day Sunday to attend an afternoon/evening wedding.

Is it possible we might have a small group riding from Maryland to the 2014 National together too? That would be awesome!

I'm so tired of not being able to ride, just getting to where I might be able to ride to the Fall NE or this one (which has always been fun but aren't they all?) but another surgery about to be scheduled so I have to mark time yet again.

I'm going to wear out 2 pair of tires in 2014, maybe 3.  :rotflmao: :motonoises: :motonoises: :motonoises:
 
Y'all have fun and be careful!

If you should happen to wander down to the New River Gorge Bridge and be looking for a place for lunch, check out the Secret Sandwich Society in Fayetteville.  The meatloaf sandwich and beer I had were really good!
 
Canaan's facebook pages says that the new lobby and one wing of the new hotel are open! Maybe we'll get to try out the new rooms!

jason

Matt

Booked a room this morning...no problems.  My nephew and I are coming down from Ontario.

HEY YOU GUYS FROM MARYLAND...................

Can you snag me a couple Maryland State Road maps?
My supply has been depleted.

tks,
jason
 
Jay,
Sorry Bud, I am already in Romney, WV. Left home at noon. Heading to Davis in the AM. I can mail you one when I get home though.
Matt
 
hey big thanks to everyone who was able to attend, you cant beat the canaan area for a get together, to me this is what cog is all about  :great:
 
Great weekend for sure!
Had a wonderful ride home yesterday after first heading south so that we could run route 33 one more time.

And you know if the new rooms are $100 plus range I'd much stay in the old cheap rooms! Frugal Cogger that I am.

jason
 
And yet another fantastic ride with COG goes in the books. I am so glad I have joined this group. I continue to meet great new people  and have a wonderful time riding with them. Best time and money I have ever spent!
Thanks Joe, I had a really fantastic time this past weekend and it was really nice to meet you as well.
Matt
