Howdy Folks!
Been away from the net for a while, but have some news!
The Veterans Day observance falls on Monday the 12th of November this year and I am putting together a trip to Robbers Cave just north of Wilburton OK. http://www.stateparks.com/robbers_cave.html (http://www.stateparks.com/robbers_cave.html) The ride is mostly Valkyries from the Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas area but we will have all kinds of bikes there. Here is a link to the signup area and on the board you can follow some of the discussions about the trip.
We don't charge any registration fee or anything; it is just a "gathering".
Here's what we have planned so far:
*Friday, 9 November:
Arrival Day (I'll be set up in the small camping area just across from the office to be available to meet and greet all arrivals.) We'll be in our Raptor Toy Hauler and hard to miss!
*Saturday, 10 November:
Local area rides and routes all ending at an as yet unknown destination for lunch. Originally it was going to be the Queen Wilhelmina Lodge, but they are closed for remodeling.
Local rides back to Robbers Cave for fellowship and BBQ in the evening (I'm not sure of the cost for dinner yet, but last year I think it was around $10.)
*Sunday, 11 November:
Thank You presentation to our Veterans
Bike Games
Local rides and send off for anyone having to work on Monday
*Monday, 12 November
Departure Day

This gathering has been on for a few years now and this is the second time I have done the planning. It is not a MOOT or a VRCC managed event, but it is the kind of gathering both groups will immediately feel at home with.
Good times, good folks, and good riding in the OK/AR area.
I'll be available to assist with any info you may want!
Hello Everybody!
Just wanted to remind you the Dragons (and Magnas) to the Cave trip is quickly approaching.
There are about nine more rooms available in the lodge. They have opened the reservations to the general public now so be sure to tell them you are with the Valkyries. At "press time" we need one more reservation to make our minimum. I'm sure we'll cover the min, but I'll feel a lot better if we do it right away!
In a couple of days I'll post the info for the dinner and have some ride routes published. The main thing I'm stuck on is a good Ride to lunch location. I'm open to suggestions!
This is a really cool area that we have ridden in some past MOOTMAGs. Karen and I have camped at the state park in the past and it is well maintained and the staff is very friendly. The Lodge where we will hold the evening BBQ and serve as ground zero for the event is a real plus for us. the entire staff is MC friendly and supportive.
Hope to see you there!
