Gap Fest 2008 has been scheduled, Microtel Taking Reservations NOW!

Dates
Wednesday, June 11 through Sunday, June 15, 2008

Lodging
The Microtel in Robbinsville is blocked for the nights of the 11th through 15th. The rooms are clean and the hotel is extremely motorcyclist friendly. This is same place we met for the 2006 & 2007 ZX6E.net GapFest gatherings. Free continental breakfasts, no pool.

111 Rodney Orr Bypass
Robbinsville, NC 28771
Call This Number = 828-479-6772 (the toll free number on the website can't be used for reserving a blocked room)

Here's what we have blocked off:
8 singles, nonsmoking = $58.46 / $68.46
2 singles, smoking = $58.46 / $68.46
17 doubles, nonsmoking = $67.46 / $77.46
2 doubles, smoking = $67.46 / $77.46
2 suites, nonsmoking = $76.46 / $86.46

The rates will be slightly higher for weekend rates over week day rates. Here is an example for those who have not joined us in the past:
You stay in a single room with one double bed on Wed + Thurs + Fri + Sat, the cost breakdown would be approximately 58.46 + 58.46 + 68.46 + 68.46 (plus taxes).

We have stopped short of reserving the whole hotel; but have about 80% of it blocked off (they only have 50 rooms). The suites could be best used by attendees who happen to bring a large family or a multi-group, so unless you need that kind of space/comfort, please don't reserve the suites unless they are the only rooms available. Although I am not sure if the suites have ever been reserved by our group.

Reservations
The quoted rates will be for (Wed & Thurs/Fri & Sat). Microtel gave us the corporate price since we will have a rather large group of members attend. To reserve rooms in our block you must state that you are part of the 'ZX6E.net Forum' group. All rooms not reserved by April 30, 2008 will be released.

Same as in previous years, the meeting room has been reserved for our use on Friday & Saturday evenings.

Now, pick up the phone and call - operators are standing by!

As members begin to reserve and plan, a 2008 Attendance List thread will be started so we know who to expect at our 3rd annual Gap Fest 2008.


Added Notes:
Crystal works at the Philips Motel Restaurant (not sure what the name of it is). They currently served breakfast and lunch, but should be serving dinner in the coming months and during our visit.

Freda still works at Microtel...and regardless of what she does, we are going to kill her with kindness.

Mazey and I are confirmed.

Thanks so much for doing this gal

wurd

Well, I'm trying to get into contact wtih the canuks to figure out the exact days they are going so I can try to book it off as I have to beg cuz I just started here and while I get 2 weeks vacation they dont like to give it away till i've been here for a year.. But I got a long of strings to pull so its possible i Just need to know the exact dates! so any of you canucks who know the exact dates YOUR going down then frikin send me a PM. cuz EVERYONE wants to meet me *riiiight* hehe.

They don't like me tailing them cuz I suck and slow them down hehe.

I would like to Snuf. Honestly, I don't know yet. It's possible for me, but I don't know about Conan.

Gotta talk him into it

Only 3k miles, right? So i could ride out there, mount some nice sticky stuff for the gap, ship the tires back to SB when i was done, and spoon the old stuff back on, amirite?

We're taking the Exploder this year so you and Kristin could ride in the back to Lubbock and fly out from there.

Hell, I'll be taking a harbor freight trailer so you could ride to Lubbock and trailer it from there.

I'm just sayin'

Of course we'll probably get three miles to the gallon

Well, that still doesn't solve the issue of not having the bikes.

Silly, ride them to Lubbock and then ride them back on the return.

You ninja editted your post.

+1 This country needs to be smaller.

He's got the whole wide world...




Alrighty, i'll have to kick that around with kristin and davey later.

We'll see...

The country needs to be smaller? dude have you seen canada? in 2 days driving you can cross like 40 states. in canada you can cross one province lol

Why would I go where there's more snow than what I already have to deal with? Besides, according to Wikipedia, Canada has 9,970,610 km² of land while the US has 9,629,091 km², so the area is about the same, they just divided it up into bigger plots than they did here.

I actually works for me timing wise. It's finals week, so if I have anything due then I can turn it in early, and then take a week off before starting summer work

Ug, that's a hell of a ride tho. I got pissy going from SB to San Diego

So if you work it out, with populations, the US has .03 km(2) for each person, while Canada has .30 km(2).

Dude, that is 10 times the land for each citizen.

Even if polar bears occupy most of it, that is not bad.

Yeah, I was going to mention that too, amazing. That's probably why it's still so pretty there, which is why I'll eventually visit - in the summer of course.

Would be awsome for some of you Cali folk could make it out this year.

ANd the long ride is different when your heading somewhere new. It's an adventure. You would have a blast!

Conan,
your girl said she wants to go. Don't make her go without you. The girl to guy ratio at these meets isn't in your favor.

well I'm pretty new here but sure looking forward to trying to make it to this. Always wanted to make a long trip on a bike before.
