Title: 4th Annual Laborday Buckeye Bash!
Post by: Pokey on June 09, 2012, 09:23:12 AM
August 31 through Laborday!

11030 Lake Road
Millersport, Ohio 43046


This is my 4th Laborday Rally that I host, it is at my buddy's place which is nestled in the best riding in the state. Turnout each year has been great, typically 25/35 "motorcyclists" that want to tear up the roads and have a great time after the rides are over.

This is going to be run almost the same as previous years.....arrive Friday afternoon/evening, rides will take place on Saturday, cookout Saturday night, more riding "possibly" on Sunday, and folks are welcome to stay until Monday.

Food: Something easy Friday night, probably burgers and dogs.

Breakfast will be provided Saturday and Sunday.

Lunch on Saturday will depend on who you are riding with......basically you are on your own.....or with a group.

Pulled pork "the real thing" and all the fixins Saturday evening.

Basic beverages will be provided...water, pop, coffee, "some beer"....alcohol is up to you.

There is plenty of camping area and on site bathroom/shower, there are also a few local hotels "book early due to local Sweet corn Festival"!!!

Every year attendees are gracious chipping in money for the food and the beverages served during the event...so instead of charging a fee...we'd like to keep it like is, DONATE to the host if you are eating/drinking!

Never did a t-shirt last year but debating one this year. Will work on that and have some samples at the rally if there is interest.

We have a great time and turnout every year....so let's keep it going.

Brian

I'm going to possilbly think about maybe trying to attempt to make it. Who needs a t-shirt, make it the "No t-shirt Ohio Ride".

I am definitely interested.  Hopefully I can make it this year since I couldn't squeeze it into my schedule last time.

This rally stinks and there are no good roads out there.  ;)

Hey B - I'm going to call you about sleeping in your basement in a couple weeks.

Hey B,
Sorry for a later "Yes", I haven't been on here in a few days.
I will do a dinner if we can get enough that want it, and the morning crok pot eggs are always available.
Odviously count me in.
This is a good one, if any of you can swing even one night, it is worth it.
Ride safe all.

Was sure hoping you were coming back Greg, and I will for sure take you up on the crock-pot eggs. ;) Let me know what all you need, and you will for sure have it. So far there are about 18 coming for sure, and you know the Canada boys are coming back.

Can you post the link from the Strom site for this bash?  I enjoyed seeing what the regulars had to say last year when I was thinking about coming.  I hope to make it this year but I can't commit yet.

Any updates on this.


What updates you need? Looking like a real good turnout so far, expecting between 20 to 30 as of now. Will be plenty of yummy food, drinks, comfy accommodations, great riding, and plenty of lies being told. 8)  If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me or just post here.

Title: RALLY UPDATE!!!!!
Post by: Pokey on August 28, 2012, 05:45:25 PM

OK........here is the deal, Issac is looking to dump some serious rain here on Saturday evening and into Sunday. To those of you that are traveling from afar, I seriously doubt you will want to be camping and or traveling unless you just love to be soaked and miserable. Friday looks to be good as of now, but Saturday is going to be very very bad from what the forecasts are predicting. Us local guys are still going to be there, and there is plenty of room in the barn for those who were camping "we can make it work". So use your best judgement as to whether you want to come or not, me and the other hosts will be here. I am doing an offroad thing, so the brave and I will probably still be going out Saturday. Maybe just maybe we will get lucky and it won't be so bad.


If you are still coming or cancelling, please let me know if you are able.


DAMN YOU ISSAC.....DAMN YOU!!!!!  :banghead:
