Welcome aboard Captain. You might be interested in this upcoming Rocket gathering.
Adirondack Salvo '11 - July 7th-9th Old Forge, NY
It’s taken a little while to nail down the details but this year’s Adirondack Salvo is on and set for the 3 nights starting Thursday July 7th, 8th and 9th. The event will be held at the North Woods Inn and Resort in Old Forge, NY
North Woods Inn & Resort Adirondack Lodging Adirondack Bed & Breakfast Inn & Restaurant on Fourth Lake Old Forge New York
We’ve got 19 rooms reserved and pay no attention to the website rates, they’ve given us special rates with some of the rooms at $120/night and others at $150/night. Some are ‘family suites’ (two bedrooms share a common bath) so a few couples who want to save bucks might consider that set up. BE SURE TO SAY YOU ARE WITH THE TRIUMPH GROUP in order to get the reservation and the special rates. call 315-369-6777. Any questions, ask for Marie the manager.
For those who attended Big Moose a few years back, Old Forge is just ten miles down the pike so you’ll be familiar with our fabulous twisties and great scenery.
The basic schedule is folks arrive on Thursday afternoonish into the evening depending on when you can get away so we’ll just hang out in their on-site tavern as folks arrive throughout the evening. I like Todd’s ‘no formal rides’ concept from last year’s Deals Gap Salvo so there won’t be formal rides. However, many folks have ridden these parts and there will be plenty of choices betieen spirited rides, easy going scenic stuff or just hang at the pool and catch some rays. I know there’s definately a Tracy Road crew (71 curves in 7 miles, no side roads, no driveways, just pure fun). The Olympic venues are not too far away in Lake Placid and great rides in every direction.
Friday evening, Chef Jeff will do a bar b q and we’ll all pitch in on the cost of food, beer and wine.
More rides on Saturday and then Saturday night, they are giving us their conference room to have a private dinner. I’m working with them to give us a ‘fixed price’ all inclusive dinner with all the fixins- probably in the $30-$35 range including tip and tax. We’ll try and get three choices (beef, chicken and fish). Y’all have to give us your choice maybe by Thursday night, something like that so the chef will know what to buy.
I believe some early birds have already taken about 6 of the rooms so don’t delay making your reservations. I think they charge a deposit of 50% up front and if you cancel 15 or more days beforehand, you get the deposit back. Otherwise, they keep the deposit. I think that’s about it for now. We look forward to another great gathering of the clan. Speaking of which, kilts are definitely in fashion for Saturday night.

David
