My wife, a San Marcos rider would be joining me, but only in MSP. We can't do SF. Another lady who's not on the list, but would be present. :) I agree about doing a run off of locations without splitting the vote between dates. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Since it is the 20th Anniversary of Rivendell why not celebrate with both locations since separate dates are already being proposed. Although the SF location has a growing lead very few pollsters (only 3 of 60) currently listed a willingness to attend either great state. Conflicts due to

Of course we should have crazy rides for people who want crazy rides. Point is, we should also mellow rides for people who want mellow rides. On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 10:55 PM, Manuel Acosta manueljohnaco...@hotmail.com wrote: Great thing about these big events is that it gives folks options. I

I can think of 3-4 great rides using China Camp as a start-end point and covering a few different types of ride: 1. A mellow ride around the Paradise Loop rollers. Only one medium-size hill along the way. So, a climb out and a climb back in. I would figure the basic loop would be ~25 miles(???),

I think we should have a poll based strictly on location. A vote is a vote, if somebody votes for both count both, obviously that person feels they can come no matter what and that fact is important also. When we settle on a location, we can concentrate on dates, rides lodging etc. Marc On

Also, the July 19/20 date conflicts with RAGBRAI, on which I met several RBW bunch folks. Another vote against it for midwesterners. I'd love to make it to Riv HQ for any of these events, but that date rules this one out. Tim On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 3:43 PM, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery

Nobody voted for the second MSP option and not the first; the two MSP options combined have more votes only because lots of people voted for both of them. Everybody who voted MSP, for either date: 17. Everybody who voted for China Camp: 22. On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 1:43 PM, Jim Thill - Hiawatha

2 people voted for all 3. So it's currently 20 (not msp) vs 18 (either MSP). This isn't really significant of a difference between the two choices. It's my opinion that we won't get consensus on one site or the other. I think it might be prudent to plan two get togethers and let the folks

FWIW I think we should have a vote on the location first then the date. As far as two Jamborees please don't do that to me as I'll have to go to both and I can assure you it will create a conflict betwixt me and my significant other. Additionally, perhaps the location not chosen will be the
