ride up for the party on May 1st.   although that limits the margarita intake more.

Not when the participants pass out in your front yard.  ;)

Passing out in the back yard may involve drowning...also not a great option. 
Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing; however, they can still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Ok, has anyone put any more thought into this?  What days and places would work for everyone?  I'd like to get a weekly thing going again now that I am here.

The rub is most want to do it in their neck of the woods and the traffic has gotten worse so that contributes to the situation. Rhodeside was a good, unique spot, had a lot going for it, but most had to come a distance and now with the traffic it's worse. We tried a lot of different places before we kinda picked Rhodeside, not sure if it's a good spot anymore have not been there in awhile, kinda got tired of some folks, and felt like the mgmt there could care less and even felt unwelcome somtimes. Fortunately, I found a place in my neck of the woods and some like minded riders. I'd suggest others do the same and maybe a roving meetup once a month. I miss a bunch of the old crowd on here, but try to avoid a few, at my age guess I'm just getting cranky. - Gene

Nothing wrong with being cranky, as I think we all (I know I sure do) get that way from time to time.  But at the end of the day we are all on here with/for a common bond. Besides, there are enough people on this board to keep things fresh. It's far different from where I just left, with only two or three people who would regularly come out and do anything.

So, taking a card from your suggestion, what about a rotating event that bounces from say three or four different areas? That way we could try and hit venues that would work for those of us on opposite sides of town. I bet a few of us would be wiling to travel/ride to them regardless of where they are.  I'd just like to see a fairly organized event crop up, and it would also help me meet those of you that I haven't yet.
