It's the Holiday Inn Express Pinetop. Please make your reservations early for the best available rates. It looks like right now the best rate is 117.00. I did not set up a group rate due to the high no show rate and the hotel will not allow group rates on 5-6 rooms.You're more than welcome to stay anywhere in the area but we had good service at this hotel and they allowed us to park the bikes in the Valet area right outside the doors. There's also an inside pool, sauna and hot tub so bring your skivvies :)
Hi all... Finally got the videos posted. They are not public, so you'll have to click each link. As this was the first time I used this camera, none of the video from the first day turned out. I did my best to get footage of everybody, but if I missed you, please forgive. I'll be more diligent next time.
This was seriously the most amazing ride i have ever been on, and its definitely going to be one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I couldn't ask for a better group of people to experiences it with! And to Will and Jen, thank you guys so much for everything! If it weren't for you guys this ride wouldn't have been possible. Also thanks to Jeff for all the rad photography and video footage! Im stoked to watch it. And props for riding the beemer like a complete hooligan! that was insane
Hey guys, I had a really great time riding with and getting to know you all better. Special thanks to Will and Jen for all the support and coordination. Thanks to Tony for letting me ride the "busa" - what a RUSH! And, thanks to all of you for making this a memorable weekend!! I'll post the link to the videos as soon as I get them uploaded.
I was so happy that I got to go on ride and thanks to Rene"s suggestion and Jeff fixing kickstand relay switch I got to ride back through SRC. Great birthday weekend.
Thanks to everyone for a really great time! Tyne and joey thanks for babysitting!!! and Will And jenn thanks for all that ya'll did! This was more fun then i ever thought it would be!!!
Did you guys get a chance to take 261 just west of Springerville south to Mexican Hay Lake? Awesome road. Sounds like you had a good time. I'm planning on doing a day trip on the same route this summer. <http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=...;
I also want to thank Will and Jen for being so awesome.It always makes the ride easier when Jen drives the chase truck. My bike has seen a lot of that trailer and truck lately. Thank goodness it was available.I think my bike has seen the last of the back of truck or trailer all the hip cups seem to be out of it now. Thank you Jen for keeping me in check while I was having fun.Love ya both.The ride had doubled in size from last year.Can't wait till next years ride to see turn out.
Word. Will and Jen rock for everything they do for us. A chase vehicle of that size isn't cheap to bring along and they do it to ensure everyone's good time so a very big thanks to them! I want to thank EVERYONE that came out. Each person brings a special quality to every ride that makes it special. Next year save me a shorty beer though!! ;)
It was out pleasure Blair. It's nice having a small group at the back. Gotta take advantage of it before she has a 600 and plays with the rest!
I want to send a special thank you to Will and Jen for providing the chase vehicle with water, etc. It came in very handy again and helped make the trip as good as it was. Thanks guys!
“ I can never say enough great things about this group. I had a fabulous time and enjoyed having a slower group to ride with instead of it always being Joey and I catching up lol. Ernie even hung out with us for a bit! Great times! ”
“ I had a great time like the year before. Excellent weather,faster times,and great people.My ride home in the dark was also excellent, had a full moon and Highway patrolman leading me to Tucson. ”
“ WOW!!! What a great ride! Great People! Great weather! Do we really have to wait till next year to do it again? Hangovers only last a few days, right! Cant wait till next time.......... ”

Thank you to everyone who made the trip this year. It is always great to spend time with friends and making new ones.
Melinda, I am glad your bike was ready and the only hiccup was the kickstand switch.
Mark, that looks like a fun run. I will have to look at it next time we are up there. Nicole you did great on this trip. I am glad you made it.
