I 95 is littered with them just south of DC, plus I know of one with a strip joint attached, but I would put the bikes in the room for that one, then lock them up inside the room too. I'm all in favor of this, just because it means that thursday will be a shorter day, and that means more shenanigans for us!

Another possible route is to hang a right on I70 in baltimore, then a left on I81 heading south until you hit I26, then local 23 to 441 to 64 to 515 to TWO. not that I put too much thought into it or anything.

Oh and DC traffic means that we are fucked starting from about 530 am until about 10 then again from 2 til 8 or 9 at night. But if you take the outer loop and just ride it out it shouldnt be bad.

See what sixxer wants to do. either plan works for me. I will prolly work at the jobsite that wednesday but will be home and can get on the road prety easily. Only thing is I will have ot leave here around 8 or so to meet you guys and may still get hit with some traffic on the NJ tpke and getting out of NYC. I am not familiar with the other route you mentioned and am not sure how traffic is around DC (will we be flowing with traffic or going against it in the AM) I have no prolem with leaving NY at 2 or 3 am to meet you guys or go earlier. I guess for sleeping somewhere we can see how it goes, sometimes I get that burst where I just want to get there and other times its just time to knock out for a bit. If we do several hrs in the dark I am sure the sun comming up will give us a little boost as well.

Ive ridden through the night without realizing it before, and only stopped for a short nap. I should have my screaming meanie (the alarm clock to end all alarm clocks) so we could take a 2 hour nap in the middle of the night and be up just in time to watch a romantic sunrise!

If you guys want to leave in the Night to help ease the pain of traffic...I'm down, I'm a crazy fuck so Whatever works for the best Im down with...I'm the same way, sometimes I just wanna get there and I get all excited and shit other times Im like fuck it lets crash.

Ok so now that we know were all crazy and dont give a flyin fuck

do yall want to leave wed night or go late night so that were past dc before 4 or 5am. Baltimore and Dc cant be much more than an hr or 2 at the most from that rest spot. Fred would it be faster doing 95 to 85 or going the other way.

Looks like plans are beginning to come together nicely.

How bad will it be if me derf and sixxer get there first and start drinking. we will burn the plcae down before anyone else gets there

It's only bad if you burn the damn place down.

Keep Derf away from fires. He's clumsy, ya know.

Okay,why is it every time we start another thread about the rally,you 3 or 4 people have to take it over to make your personal plans? You guys wore out the last thread talking about how you were gonna get drunk and now you're on and on about how you're getting there. Have you not heard of PMs or at least start a new thread so I don't keep checking this thread for updates only to have to read about your trip plans. I know you think I'm being a dick here but seriously,that's 2 or 3 threads now... I really don't care how you're getting there or what time you're gonna leave. I'm sorry,I just want to pay whatever I have to pay and be all set,keeping my personal travel arrangements to myself .

IIRC, he was told to bring it, but that didn't mean he was going to be able to use it.

I've taken down bigger guys than him.
