    Fall Farmington Ride - aka: Dave Davis Memorial Ride

    Ok, it's a little way in the future, but here we go! (So you people that plan can do your planning thingy.)

    The dates are September 11th - 14th in Farmington, Missouri.

    We normally sleep at the Baymont Inn & Suites and rooms are normally in the $60 - $65 range per night. I would recommend booking directly through the hotel, as there have been issues getting refunds if you go through a third-party booking agency. The Baymont Inn & Suites phone number is 573-756-8031

    Most people arrive on Thursday afternoon or evening and depart on Sunday morning.

    As usual, NOTHING is planned! Just show up and ride some of the best roads in the area. (of course, a trip to Hercules BBQ in Piedmont is almost mandatory!)

    So, there ya have it! Get to planning, requesting, begging, bribing, blackmailing or whatever ya need to do to go ride the Ozarks! You won't regret it!

      Nice! Thanks for picking a date early and skipping 12 pages of negotiation.

      It's on my calendar, although I'm not sure I can make it. Hoping to firm up plans as soon as possible.

        I'm in. Room is booked.

        edit: when there in May, the Spokes bar and grill was closed. Don't know if it will be open in September or not. In case this is of any importance to any potential attendees.

          I intend to be there. Leaning on "yes". There may be a hiccup. Thanks for keeping it simple!

                Just booked the room. $208 for 4 nights, as I plan on arriving on Wednesday afternoon! (Gotta get the new bike acclimated to the Ozark twisties!)

                    I'm missing all the good riding this year. Unfortunately, this aligns (as usual) with my company's international users group meeting. I have to be there. This year it'll be in Phoenix...so at least it'll be hot. I'll miss those lovely roads and hanging out with everyone. Have fun.

                      Ok.........just a couple of weeks to go!

                      I case anyone is interested, there are a few participants planning on arriving on Wednesday afternoon or evening. That way we get to ride more!

                      You just can't get enough of those Missouri twisties!

                              I'll be there for lunch! Got a nice little 131 mile route planned to get there. I got in a bonus 90 miles this afternoon. Arrived at 4:00 after 6-1/2 hours in the truck!
