Default SITM '06 - Do we have a date yet? (edit: June 2-4 - Who wants to do the Dragon?)

I know it's early in the year, but my wife and I are planning our kid's summer camp schedules and our vacation plans. Last year it was the 1st weekend in June. Can I assume that it will be the same this year too? (June 2-4)

I had SOOOOOOoooo much fun last year, I cannot wait to go again this year. However, this year, I think I'll take an extra day and shoot over to Deal's Gap and run the Dragon. Anyone else up for that?

Duh! Should have gone to the source first. Sorry.

So Ernest... should we hit the dragon before or after the festivities?

I may be interested in the Tail of the dragon. How far away is it?

Hey Andrew - I will be coming from Denver this time, but I would be up for tackling the Dragon - I hear it is an amazing drive...

I've already made my hotel reservations......Hoo Rah!

In a couple of months I am going to start soliciting interest in a caravan down from the north East. I think the drive can be made in one Long day, if we start early, Friday morning......

Is that at the 928 lodge, or the Best Western?

I hear the same thing. So do we tackle it before or after?

I'm definitely up for it! I didn't make it to SITM last year due to a leaking waterpump. But she's all taken care of now. I can't wait to finally meet up with some shark owners. The dragon is a crazy drive! I can't remember how many motorcyclists die on it every year. It's actually on my way to SITM, but I don't care to drive back if there are enough people willing to go.

Just made my reservation today. They fill up quick. Act now or you will miss the beer drinkers talking shop from the second floor balcony while dribbling suds on your nice wax job.
