Flying high at 11,000 feet!
June 2008 has come and gone, but the West Side Rally at the Potato Ranch will not soon be forgotten. Riders from near and far gathered in Durango, CO to meet, greet, and eat while MsPotatoPotatoHead opened up her home [and yard] in hospitality for this great event. Riding treacherous mountain roads with 2,000 foot drop offs really does let one put life in perspective and allows you to focus on the road. Easy to do when death is just feet away.
Great food was planned throughout the event and we were catered to with a fantastic brisket dinner on Saturday night. What follows a great dinner? Alcohol. What follows alcohol? Fire. Yes, we had ourselves a fantastic sky-high bonfire complete with drunken ATV'ing and other shenanigans. [Note BBO does not condone any sort of vehicle use during the consumption of alcohol]
Riders from around the country as far as New York and Minnesota gathered into Durango for this annual event, and more are sure to come. Put it on your calendar next year, this is definitely not one to miss. Read all about it here.
Event Planners Awarded!
Here at beginnerbikers.org our members are our best quality. Over the past 4 years crankshaft has been throwing the annual "Bug Bash" event in Dayton, Ohio. As the event grows to over 50 people, and 30 bikes in 2007, it's clearly a hit. On the west coast, MsPotatoPotatoHead has the annual West Side/Potato Ranch Rally in Durango, Colorado - another increasingly popular event that brings riders from across the country.
These members open their homes, and their lives to other riders of whom they have only known online with no expectation of fees, or reimbursement. This is truly the meaning of hospitality. In August of 2007 I was ecstatic to be able to present each of these selfless members an award of $300 to NewEnough.com to use as they wish as a token of appreciation from our members. Thanks guys for everything you do to bring together our members. From 5 to 50, riding with BBO folks is always an experience to remember.
