A decision was made regarding the V2V on Wednesday May 13. Stay tuned for an announcement from Vivian Hardin, Chairperson.

Registered and room reserved - hubby and I are also bringing our son and a couple of friends with us - can't wait!

YES Jim! that is an excellent idea! With apologies to Viv as I have done a bit of editing to her original email, here is the text I think should go out to the membership asap. VMC Nation, It is way past due to start serious conversation about V2V 2020. With Gene retiring from the position of V2V chair, the time for leisurely planning for this event has escaped. The BoD has discussed cancelling this year's event, but I would like to see if we can pull it together - it IS a landmark event for the VMC! I have listed the Legs for this year's rally in the hope that someone among our membership is willing to step up as Leg Captain for one or more legs. Due to our late start, we need to tie this down asap. I have hopes that we will be able to do this, keeping in mind that Covid 19 may impact our plans. I would like to start the planning with securing Leg Captains for all 13 legs. Of course, the start and end destinations of each leg would be up to the Leg Captains. The suggestions below are major cities close to the original Route 40. Also, more recognizable to folks not familiar to the specific area. If the destination is Castle Rock or Fort Morgan instead of Denver, again, up to the Leg Captain. I realize there is so much more planning to be done to pull off this magnificent event. If we can start with securing Leg Captains, the rest of the planning can be completed as time permits. Anxious to hear thoughts and responses.

GREETINGS ALL! AT THE BOARD MEETING ON WEDNESDAY THE V2V WAS DISCUSSED AT GREAT LENGTH. SINCE WE HAVE NO OFFICIAL CHAIR FOR THIS YEAR'S EVENT, VIVIAN HARDIN OFFERED TO TRY TO COORDINATE THE LEGS - AND SHE CAN WORK ON THE START (WEST COAST) THROUGH TO THE MID-WEST. SHE NEEDS HELP! IN PARTICULAR FROM THE MID-WEST TO THE NORTHEAST! IF YOU ARE WILLING TO TAKE ON SOME OF THAT WORK AND CAN EITHER LEAD A LEG OR TWO, OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO WILL, PLEASE REACH OUT TO VIVIAN AND LET HER KNOW! THIS EVENT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TOGETHER AND AT LEAST PARTIALLY READY TO GO BY APRIL 30 SO DON'T DELAY! KEEP THE V2V MOVING IN 2020!

Bringing a small "crew" from the Northeast! Hubby, son, and good friend so far!

From the fact that it looks like this was taken at a raceway of some kind, perhaps either at Daytona or perhaps the Indy 500 track?

Just finished registering and reserving for the event! Gotta say I'm very impressed with the information asked for and given on the event registration page.

I certainly agree with this Gene. As well, I would like to know exactly who is on the Events Committee. I have tried for two years now to get that information and have not been given it.

PLEASE don't pollute the planning for this historic event with the politics that are taking place! I am sure that things will get straightened out. Keep in mind - the VMC has weathered many "things" in twenty years - this is just a bump in the road - surviving for 20 years is worthy of straight-forward and eager anticipation, no politics involved.

This looks like a terrific rally! Thank you for posting the pics!

Tennessee is not the East Coast. Plus, if other areas want to host a meet, all that is needed is to work with the Events Committee to make their proposal in a proper and committed way. Unfortunately, to my knowledge we have not had any viable proposals from other areas lately.

I've got lots more but can only do this much here - guess I'll go to VMOG tomorrow for the rest - urk!

You want pictures huh? How 'bout these? Nothing here is in order - most of the "people" picks are from the Meet n Greet on Thursday night - man were those munchies good! The "road" pics are from both Friday and Saturday - both excellent rides led by excellent leaders!

CONGRATULATIONS AND MANY MANY THANKS to the Adirondack Riders chapter for hosting this years National Meet. As we fully expected, you did not let us down in your choice of "party time" on Thursday night, the official banquet on Friday and the BBQ on Saturday. Although threatened with rain, the heavens held off and did not disturb us so we all got a chance to ride through some of that amazing roads and scenery in the Adirondack Mountains. WELL DONE GUYS AND GALS! During the National Rally this weekend at Lake George, NY which was hosted by the Adirondack Riders (and which was very well done!) the announcement of the National Rally for 2020 was made. It will be held August 27-30 at Johnson City in Tennessee. Our hosts will be the Dragon Riders chapter. Looks like a good time coming!
