notacop Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 There're calling for snow...bring your chains. David, From what I've heard, they are always calling for snow for that run. Or is that the January attendees? But the town of Beatty has such appeal, how can you let vicious weather keep you from going. Link to comment
David13 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Snow. Ok, I'll bring my skis. I haven't been out there for far too long. I usually like to stay at the old hotel at Death Valley Junction. But I suppose Beatty would be ok. dc Link to comment
Redbrick Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Kathy and I are planning on it......... Link to comment
azkaisr Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 The last few years I have said in only to be out. So this year I am saying I won't make it. Link to comment

mrduck Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 DARWIN....for those that are interested..... http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p291/mrduckphoto/Darwin/ About halfway between Olancha and Panimint Springs, some very cool art, a great place for pictures, but a very strange place ! Worth a stop, tell 'em hi from us Don J Link to comment
Heyfrank Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I thought Darwin was pretty cool. Further down the road we took a off road that went DOWN a dirt grad . Not me again . I will probably take the Honda because I think the rt will be announced dead at that time. I am find. For those that are sitting on the fence this is a good time to ride with some good people.

mrduck Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 What is this DVD thingy you speak of?? Shiny flat discs that have dirty movies on them? You know, I just figured out it's probably not a good idea to post things after comsuming adult beverages, just my twisted sense of humor Very good Don but try this: DVD = "Ducks Velocity Drive" I still like Mr. Ducks Wild Ride.... "DWR"... Here's the last ride when we stopped in Darwin before the sheriff came on the scene: Don J Nothing like stirring up the local populace to make the stop "interesting" And I love that pic- Kathy always has that grin like she just got away with something she shouldn't be doing (seems to be the common theme with these DV rides!)

Brian Louw Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Just made reservation online because nobody answers the phone. Only option was handicapped with queen size bed Link to comment
Brian Louw Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I called and spoke to Pat. Bad news, guys. They are fully booked that weekend for a cycling group that gets bused in and my reservation didn't go through. Who else has managed to make reservation at the Exchange Club? Link to comment

mrduck Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 OH CRAP!!!! Found out what's going on http://www.classictours.co.uk/Challenges/OpenChallenge.aspx?ChallengeID=769 Just got off the phone with the Phoenix, (just around the corner) they're full too due to some Beatty Historical Meeting! (and I asked Pat if anything else was going on that weekend) So the parks gonna be full of bicycle riders that weekend....do we wanna rethink the date on this? Bump it to the next weekend-11th 12th 13th? I'm sure the cookout dinner can be rescheduled... Open for suggestions.... Don J Link to comment
Redbrick Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 From my view, I vote for a change of dates....The 11th (Friday) is Veterans Day so it's a 3 day weekend.....Probably won't matter except some of our group may get the day off and make it a three dayer......... Link to comment
azkaisr Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I would be ok with a date change...Not that I am going Link to comment
Groanup Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I'm with Phil on this one. Sharing Death Valley with hundreds of bicycles isn't my idea of fun... Doesn't really matter to me which weekend we change to. I don't get Veteran's Day off anywho. (Dang it! now I have to talk the boss into changing my weekend off...) On the bright side, I guess Heck wont need to worry about his anniversary any more. Link to comment
Tank Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Mr. Duck Could ya call the exchange club and ask them which week end they could put us up??? Link to comment
Heyfrank Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I called and got same answer. I'm good with a change of date also. Hopefully everyone will be able to make it. Link to comment
gottago Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Gar says whatever date is fine with him...Ahhhh....retirement is grand. Link to comment
Brian Louw Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 11 12 13 better for me anyway. Now to see whether there are rooms that weekend. Link to comment
Norm 88 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I agree with Phil on this.... Link to comment
CoarsegoldKid Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Tell me the new date cause I have booked a room via the internet. Link to comment
Mrs. Heck Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Aw Hell, we were thinking about renting the honeymoon suite!! Better dates for us sooo.... Good possibility we'll be IN. Link to comment
graydude Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hummm Don, we may have to think about your continuing this volunteer position for the future. I know others are begging for the chance to put this together I'm good with the next weekend as well but only at the Exchange. I've not seen any hotel that works near as well for what we do.

graydude Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Gar says whatever date is fine with him...Ahhhh....retirement is grand. You'd think Gary would learn how to type by now what with all his free time! Link to comment
Brian Louw Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Tell me the new date cause I have booked a room via the internet. So did I, I thought. Did you get confirmation? Link to comment
Brian Louw Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Joe, Joe, Joe. You can't believe everything you read on the internet Link to comment
StuGotz Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 +5 for the date change. Like Phil stated, some of us get a 3 dayer, and with that I don't have to give up $$$$ while playing with the "wild bunch". Someone call the Exchange and see if'n they got enuf rooms fer us. Yo Don.... Thanks MB> Link to comment
