LAISSEZ BON TEMPS ROULER AU RENDEZVOUS!
Let the good times roll at the Rendezvous. The LA District is inviting all LA District members to join together for a fun-filled ride to the EWMA Rendezvou this summer in Sharonville, OH. We are planning a riding event similar to the "40 to Phoenix" ride in the old GWRRA days. Plans are for the route to depart Vicksburg, MS on Sunday, August 30, and continue with overnight stops in Tupelo, MS, Bowling Green, KY and Lexington, KY, arriving in Sharonville, OH, Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd. Interstate highway travel will be minimized. You can depart anytime in the mornings you would like, with the goal of everyone meeting at the next stop for evening social events. You might elect to do some of the following along the way: Visit the Mississippi Petrified Forest, the Tupelo National Battlefield, the childhood home of Elvis, drive the Natchez Trace where you will find the Cypress Swamp, Pharr Mounds and the Tennessee River, spelunk the Lost River Cave and Mammoth National Park, tour the National Corvette Museum, see where Abraham Lincoln was born, shop for souvenirs at the Wild Turkey or Woodford Reserve Distillery, snap a selfie at the Kentucky Castle, ride some scenic KY bluegrass trails through thoroughbred country, take in the KY Horse Park, the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum before arriving at Rendezvous.
Once at Rendezvous, you can shop with the vendors, attend safety presentations or participate in many guided and self-guided rides which the EWMA leadership has set up for you. Check the rides out in the "On the Fly Magazine" found on the EWMA webpage. You can register for the rides at www.rivordroad.com/. You must be registered for the Rendezvous before you can register for the rides.
Returning home, everyone will be on their own. Our chapter will depart on Sunday the 6th, taking the most direct and fastest route home.
Anyone interested should shoot an email to [email protected]. The more the merrier!
As the date approaches, I will come back with hotel recommendations and the list of social events planned. Each person will be responsible for their own reservations and route prep.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen and I hope to see you on this ride.
