All...
I know we just got back from MUSR 11, but we need to start planning for next year. I am looking for suggestions for an event location. Requirements: 1. Lots of Twisties. 2. Within about a day's drive from Dallas. 3. Lots of Twisties. 4. Someplace we haven't been before. 5. Lots of Twisties. 6. Possibly a small 50 room hotel we could invade for a few days. 7. Lots of Twisties. 8. Someone local to plan tour routes. 9. Lots of Twisties. 10. A big parking lot for the car show and the blind AX. So...Y'all break out the maps and start looking. The reason for the requirement of a day's drive from Dallas is this is supposed to be the MID US Ramble. I am all for going east a day to get everyone from that part of the country. When we get some suggestions, I will post a poll. |

Here are a few in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri. Would be nice to have someone chime in if they have personal experience driving any of these roads:

Here are a few in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri. Funny, I was looking at the Ozark Highlands region of Missouri on that site while you were posting that. Seems like a lot of potential in that area. Grabbed this from http://www.motorcycleroads.us/regions/mo_highlands.html Wherever it is, I'm in!

The very 1st Mid-West Renegade Festival in '95 was in Lake Ozark, MO. Great roads, and we got very lucky with the host facility.
I've always thought that Tunica/Robinsonville MS would be a good choice. With the casinos there, surely a nice hotel with the required amenities could be found. Maybe for once in 10 years, I could clone myself and be able to attend! |

Clay- a suggestion for nametags next go-round would be to include web names, since few of us (at least me!) know the cast of characters. I learned a few web handles this trip, and can associate a few with their rides, and that helps add a face to the faceless here!

Hey nice rack! -Celette Group: Members Posts: 20,730 Joined: 30-December 02 From: Now in Superior WI Member No.: 43 Region Association: Northstar Region |
Black Hills area SD. Spearfish, Deadwood, Sturgis area. And I would volenteer to be on the planning committee and do a couple recon missions to find great driving roads. Hotels and tourist stuff should not be an issue. BTW: that's a serious commitment. It's 800 miles one way, hotels stays and a bunch of extra driving in the area.

Maybe for once in 10 years, I could clone myself and be able to attend! No twisties in Tunica, but we could easily travel east of Memphis and get some great roads. Oklahoma, Arkansas line and the Missouri boothill would be nice. I was looking at the hills of Texas earlier today. Colorado would be awesome as well. Hell, my car travels well, don't really care where you put it. I do agree it needs to move around some so everybody can attend sooner or later. Shoe |

Its on my list of places to eventually go to. Its only a 27 hour drive for me. It may be a little too far for some but I'd definitely be down. |

I'm thinking Mountain Home, Ar. Great roads, beautiful scenery, lots of twisties.

could we add a new member map link.
i have found a mapping program http://www.zeemaps.com/ it may help us determine a good central location for the most people. |

Much as I like the Texas Hill country, it is out because it would be way too far for the new people we got this year.
Missouri looks good... I like the idea of Lake Ozark. Perry, do you still have the tour maps from that Renegade meet? |

I'm thinking Huntsville, AL. Its a great location. Plus my tow rig won't need a small tanker truck following to get there. I try to avoid areas west of Missisippi until I get to CO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
What about the Red River Gorge area in Kentucky? I have driven through there before seemed nice. Perhaps something in southern west Virginia, but that kinda rules out the guys from Texas and Oaklahoma. I think we need two Midwest Rambles. We need Mid west and a Mid East Ramble. That way we can cover both areas in the middle. Now of course a Southeast Ramble will be mandatory, a California Ramble because there are so many of these cars out there, and we don't worry about those folks up North, they can come down here where they don't salt the roads. |
