2021 Alta Rally/Race/Meetup (September 25-26)

[JW884]

Do we think COVID will be manageable by spring because it is one vote ahead? It also seems that for most people if there is a smaller winter rally they will still come to another northeast rally. Any thoughts?

I personally would do either spring or early summer since I think I'll be racing a series that mid-summer/fall and may not have any weekends open.

Alright, 12 people voted on the pole. It looks like the North East wins the location and the time of year is pretty close only separated by 1 vote.

If covid is still going on I would prefer a location that allows normal freedoms. I'm one of those people who refuses to wear a mask.
As long as no one is going to bust my balls over the mask thing, and my work schedule cooperates, I'm in.

I think there won't be many issues in terms of an event like this as we all will be ridding and outside. The tracks and ride areas in NY only require masks when checking/paying for a pass. Through if things get a lot worse this may be something to re-visit

whatever you guys decide, plz count me in!

 

[Mikec265]

If you are considering doing it PM me and we can talk details. I’d love to meet up. Nothing better than escaping our winter in February!

Getting closer to that time. We may be making the trip to Durhamtown soon for my son's birthday. I gotta stop in Salisbury, NC before the 11th at a semi truck/trailer auction. All is pending on my last second unpredictable work schedule.

Worst case if we don't go down south, we will be renting Switchback indoors in Butler, PA at some Point. Hotels are close to it and "Weiner's Gone Wild!" is a good place to eat just up the road.

I'd be willing to meet anyone at Switchback in Butler, PA or Ram Jam on the west side of Cleveland, OH anytime if I'm not trucking. Both indoor arenacross tracks.

Ram Jam is just 2 hours from me when I am in Michigan in the summer. Maybe I will check them out in April-May-June when the whole Midwest is often under water.

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we’re not going to be doing the Durhamtown trip this year. Switchback looks neat. Might have to consider that at some point.

 

[Alta-NY-VA]

I’m game for Ny area or just let me know where, sounds fun! I’m in central NY and northern VA

 

[Matt]

Alright. It has been a while since I have commented here. I have kinda been waiting on what will be happening with covid. I think it would be wise to try and meet sometime in June somewhere in the north east. We could do central NY but another option that may be fun for all would be northern PA. There are a few tracks and some large riding parks with lots of trails in that area. Either way, opening this back up and hoping to select a location and date.

 

[Butch]

I would be so hip, fandamly responsibilities aside.

 

[JW884]

I'm open for any event anytime after mid April. And I like a lot of the places in NY & Northern PA.

 

[leeo45]

I am still interested and June sounds good. I would appreciate access to some trails and non-MX riding for at least part of the time, however I'll completely defer the decision on location(s) to those of you with local knowledge.

 

[Philip]

I am itching to test out camping in my motovan again. I loved it every time I got a chance to do it. Maybe I should take a year off to travel the country and to visit every MX track and ORV riding area in the US!

Sounds like the topic of a good book or documentary. You can call it “Long Way to the Next Bathroom” or “Where the F* Did I Park My Motovan?”

I plan on doing something similar with my motovan. About Late August-December 2022 my girlfriend & I are gonna hit all 48 lower states and I'm bringing the Alta & maybe a grom. I'll be sure to document as much as I can. And would love to meet up with other members while we're out.

When you get out to Washington, give me a yell! I'll show you around.

Awesome! Appreciate the offer and will do

 

[Motophyllic]

I’d love to get something together.

 

[privateer703]

If you pick northern PA I'll be able to ride with you for sure. Depending on where you pick I've got some local trails near me we can ride as well.
If its NY, I'm a maybe.
