It's been awhile since I hosted the last one in 2012 but I'm finally ready to bring back the Skibum Soiree at my house in Newfoundland. I'm staying with the last weekend in August to give everyone including myself as much time as possible plus the best weather outlook of the summer.
Not sure if any MOA members have been to previous ones here but the format will be mostly the same as previous years with a few extra elements thrown in. This is a simple affair with various people going out on group rides mostly scenic pavement rides but there are a few offroad rides for those who want that.
If people want it we can meet at the Argentia ferry and ride the railbed from there back up towards here as we did in '09. I may need to ride it between now and then to ensure nothing has been critically washed out. We can probably arrange a sag wagon to carry gear from the ferry to the house as well to lighten up the load.
We should have a couple of rooms available for the odd person who does not camp but primarily this is a tent out affair around the property. As it looks now there might only be one room as the renovations for the B&B are taking longer than expected.
Typically this is a pretty small gathering, early editions only had up to 20 staying through, we'll see what kind of interest there is this year. It has always been a pretty intimate affair.
There are also threads on RidetheRock.com and ADVrider.com. Old threads from '09-'12 are also easy to find on ADVrider.com.
I know Newfoundland is on every touring person's list so why not use this as an excuse to go?
cheers
