Default Florida Rally in Palaka is still on!!!!!!!

Had a long conversation with Lauren yesterday about the 2020 Palaka Rally. There is only a small group signed up, but that being of no matter, the Rally will go on as planned. We would love if we had some additional riders sign up in the next week. Go to https://www.hdforums.com/forum/the-f...t-at-last.html to get all the details.

Lauren and I are looking forward to the weekend and a little getaway time from all the stay at home nonsense we have had to put up with for the past number of months.

Activities will be scaled down but since riding is a good form of social distancing we will ride like always. Of course the groups will just be small.

There is plenty of room to maintain social distancing both outside and inside. I'm confident we can socialize and enjoy each others company while still being considerate of each other.

Just remember, since there is no Bar or Restaurant on site, this is a BYOB event....plan ahead. There is a free Breakfast in the mornings and Coffee, Soda, Water, Ice Cream and Snacks available in the Lobby.

At this time, due to the small number of attendees, the planned Saturday evening dinner and raffle will not happen. So it looks like our evening meals will be COOK OUTS by onsite grilling outside. I'll be bringing my gas grill and we willbe cooking for everyone. Plans of right now are: Thursday (Burgers and Dogs), Friday (Chicken) and Saturday.(Steaks). There will be salads/sides. Those who eat with us will be asked to chip in to cover the food costs (cash please). If you don't want to join us, you can order in or go out.

No raffle? As of this minute, I will probably be arriving Friday....possibly Thurs... Me PLUS one (Her name is Lori).
Hot dogs, chicken and steak sound good to me!

We will play everything by ear. We may have a 50/50 and give away anything that people bring in a more informal way. We are just going to have a fun relaxing weekend with whoever shows up.

You did make reservations and tell Lauren that your are attending?

Wonder if @dickey or @Mchad are aware of this? Both of them are down there. Would be a hoot to meet them and the rest of you folks. Hope you have lots of fun.

Agree with you guys. Ready to break up the routine and have some down time. Sent out a company wide e-mail today reminding all engineers that I will not be available.

Frank menu sounds great to me. Willing to help out with expenses.

Chuck will be great to see you. Jason will be with me also. Derek has previously plans so can't make it this year.

Hey Lauren, You are riding up on Wednesday? I'm thinking of heading up Wednesday by myself if you want to group up.

Hey Tim (I believe),

Don't see you name on the list of atendees. Have you called and made your room reservations?

I'm sure Lauren will get back to you but I'm kinda sure she would like to company for the ride up. She was figuring she had to make the trip up by herself.
