Howdy Folks!
Tom Hunt and I met this weekend to discuss ideas for this year. We’re kicking it up a little this year by not only having our impromptu RTE’s but we’re also coordinating one or two conjoined RTE’s with our neighboring areas. We want to keep the travel limited to no more than 2 hours each way while keeping to interesting roads. A couple destinations we’re looking at are Blackwater Mo and Eldon MO. Tom and I are looking for your input on other destinations. There are also events in other areas we can group up and ride to like the Spider Ride, Horseshoe Mtn Rendezvous in Greenbrier AR.
We discussed having our group at an event at one of the Local Kaw Dealers but the concern we have is ensuring the event is not just a draw to get us in the door to have the Piranhas swam us. The main goal is to bring some exposure to COG and help promote local membership. I sat down with Shawnee Cycle’s event coordinator and she was extremely helpful. A couple things she also mentioned was an event unveiling of the 2014 models in March and an Open House in April. Need ideas on this and participation if we agree it to be worthwhile. The dealer agreed to post COG info and the National Rally Poster on their Bulletin board as well as dropping COG brochures in the Saddle bags of the showroom Connies.
I’ve already posted a thread on a Breakfast RTE in Desoto KS. I’ll wait for input to that thread before adding it to the NC Events Calendar.
One thing I’d like to setup is a group list of everyone in the area to get a broadcast email off in the event of short notice rides so we’re not dependant on logging into the forum. There may already be something like that available. I just haven’t found it yet. We’d like your thoughts on this.
Tom and I are anxious to get into some good riding weather so we can kick this year off!
Hope to see you all soon!
