I'll watch the weather forecast.  Now that I've said that, I'd better GoogleMap it to get an idea of just how far Cedar Vale is from Hudson, Ohio!

I think, if the weather was in the 50F range (maybe better), and with the Corbin saddle on the Sport, maybe a day and a half ride.  Last time I rode out that way on the R100GS, made it from home to Hannibal MO during the daylight hours of day one.  Won't ride after the sun goes down.

Welcome @ my campfire anytime!

 Just make sure you have those days off Johnny .

[ChuckH]

Keep in touch with your plans Bob.  I'm in Columbus, IN and Cedar Vale is 700 miles to the west.  That means two days in both directions for me on the bike, the days still aren't very long in late April and I don't like riding in the dark either. 

I'm planning on making the get-together, Santa brought me a new tent that I want to try out and get used to using before I head west to the MGNOC National.  If the weather forecast is really bad, I'll drive the car.

 Paul , CV should be THE priority  Come and meet the mayor , and almost every other citizen of Cedar Vale

[PJPR01]

True!!  That's how I'm pitching it...but works creates the paycheck that allows fun like CV to happen, so occasionally I have to give in to the master.  Not a lost cause, just beginning the juggling process!

 Hey , remember , I am capable of luring folks all of the way from France and Holland to spend a weekend in the wilds of Kansas  PFFT , nothing to convincing some unsuspecting executive that sending his right hand man . Hell , give me a full minute and HE will attend

See ya there!

Can we fill in the calendar dates as they get posted? Regardless if its a MGNOC or NAR event? Only dates I have ? about is Mokan and Oklahoma.

[cj750]

I don't know anything about MoKan, but the Okie Campout is officially Saturday October 8th through Wednesday October 11th this year. I guess they're expecting more people to want to stay over than show up early. But if you arrive on the 6th or 7th, I'm sure you won't be alone.
