Pretty easy to see why the East events are better supported than those in the West - 171 v. 269 peeps. There is 14 Canadian West to 2 East.
FYI -
The geographic centroid of the contiguous US is about Lebanon, KS.
However, our Rocket population centroid would seem to be about Centralia, IL...

I want to ride this one more time before I no longer can. You Texans know when it's cooler but like D.A.C. said I ain't above cursing the Texas heat. Amarillo and a natural beauty, Palo Duro canyon. It's very flat here except for the canyon. Supposedly 2nd largest after the Grand Canyon.
Boys & girls I have finished a rough draft of a T-shirt for this July's RAA in Washington.
The Ts will be black.
I wish to get critique, comments, and some idea of how many Ts we shall need before moving forward.
Would be nice if we could get a rough head count so we will know bout how many rooms we need to block out
When y'all call tell them u r with the raa that way they can keep us all together

There were enough East voters to make a very respectable turn out. Would you all like a poll for a region or jump on one of @sweettennbabe planned rides?
West had the most votes. Time to start whittling down a region of the west. Do we need a Poll for this?
Reading is hard M'Kay...
Meetup 7/15
Ride 16-21

OK since I suggested it. Here is the poll. We'll do East/West first. Once sorted we'll do NE/SE or NW/SW
After that hopefully people in the region step up to coordinate
*Edit* The poll is open for 10 days.
I planned a trip for a charity sponsored through work and had some criteria that had to be met.
Visit all 48 states
Shortest distance between stops
Actual Veterans Memorial Sites visited
Complete it in under 15 days
So I came up with this using a Google Algorithm to create the shortest route...

Accommodations . . . working . . .
Yes is cool, maybe is also informative. If I remember, you can quote last guy, then add your person count within boundaries of post quotes and keep carrying it forward. Can add...
Doesn't really matter to me, I left off last week August due to nights maybe getting cool.
EDIT: Now settled first week in August, i.e., 31 July - 6 August.
See details in: Head count for RAA
I would like to suggest a virtual RAA -- not exclusionary by any means -- associated with the solar eclipse.
The idea is: this eclipse is unusual in that it spans the entire continental US. A virtual RAA would have everyone who can, pick *their* best spot on the line of eclipse. Go to the...
