The giant WG National threadfest

[JC85]

Dave is needing a count for Thursday so he knows how many to cook for . Help us out here .

 Dusty

My dad and his gf will be in on Thursday. My buddy and I won't be down there until Friday.

[LowRyter]

Dusty, my friend Phil Schreck from Tulsa will be there, staying with me in the Cedar Creek Lodge. Please add his name to the list, thanks! I suggested to him that he order a t-shirt and buy a raffle ticket. He has V7III Racer that I assume he'll ride to the rally. Oh, Dusty, Phil paid last year!

Great to see Phil. 



Dusty, I owe, I owe.

[oldbike54]

I've got ya covered, Sir Sultan.   

 Thanks , that new trunk will be put to good use .

 We might break 50 attendees , still down from 2017 and '18 , but I am tickled pink we are rebuilding the rally .

 For those of you who are new to our little soiree in Cedar Vale , despite the tongue in cheek name , this is really just an unpretentious rally put on by unpretentious people . It has jokingly been called the Cedar Vale Knot-a-national-knot-a-rally , the not-really-a-rally-, and some other names I have forgotten .

 However , we do a couple of things that are somewhat unique , things even the larger rallies either don't do , or not in the same way we do . We raise a little money for our host village , probably nearing $10,000 since we started being a real event in 2014 , something we are proud of . This year we are focused a little more on the no-kill animal shelter in Newton , but even then we will likely put another good chunk into the pavilion fund . So while we are having fun we are also doing some good .

 Oh , if you haven't ever had my hush puppies , well , ask past attendees

The check's in the mail, Dusty.  We talked with Rocky and have lodging for Thursday just in case.  I'll try to let you know about supper once I have a better idea, but best not to count on us.  We can always scrounge around if we do happen to roll in.  Thanks again for everything!

Dusty.   I forgot to mention.   

Since the last rally I’ve become a Level VII, blackbelt, super-atomic Vegan. 

What foods do you offer that meet my exquisitely rarified palate?

For example, are your hush puppies no cage, free range, items?

 You brought up something I have been working on . If anyone has a problem with gluten the hush puppies can be made sans gluten , and we can do vegetarian beans and of course potatoes . Then if anyone is on a low sodium diet , the fish batter can be made W/O salt , just bring me some garlic powder . I have become more aware of the dietary needs of some of us as we age .

 While we can certainly meet your dietary needs Presscot , we still won't have a barrista on hand for your double foam halfcaff soy latte , and the aroma therapist has moved to San Francisco .

 Dusty

[LowRyter]

Red beans and rice is a traditional veggie cookout dish that seems to go with a fish fry. 

It's something I know nothing about, other than it contains red beans and rice.

[SmithSwede]

 Dusty

I’m reconsidering whether I can attend.  I can find workarounds on the latte, but the lack of a local aroma therapist is a severe blow.

 Faith called yesterday morning , the town is having a cruise night on Friday evening , not sure how this is going to work , cruising downtown Cedar Vale will take what , 15 seconds 

 Seriously , we have helped start a small rejuvenation in Cedar Vale , the museum is being remodeled , the small senior citizen center is getting some attention . Other groups are staging events in town , something that wasn't happening before we began focusing some attention on the little village .

 Did we mention there will be pie ?

Most excellent! 

[SmithSwede]

Dusty:

Does this downtown cruise involve pillaging? 

In my other cruiser clubs we always pillage, but maybe your Cedar Vale event is more subdued.

Staying true to your Viking heritage SmithSWEDE!      Don't forget to stretch before the pillaging begins to avoid pulling a hamstring!

[oldbike54]

 Look , we promised Faith to be on our best behavior , so keep the pillaging to a minimum please .

 Actually I suggested a longer route than just downtown , at least down thru the park 


 Dusty

[Guzzistajohn]

We could pillage ark city and remain friendly with the Cedar Vailians I guess <shrug>

[oldbike54]

 Alright , spoke with Faith , turns out we can obtain 3 levels of permits that allow pillaging . Level 1 is $200.00 and allows for things like moving the picnic tables in the park around and flirting with the local ladies . Level 2 permit is $400.00 and allows for some senseless engine revving and general lightweight old guy hooliganism . The level 3 permit is only available as "price to be determined" , so didn't really ask what level 3 allows .

Is that a group rate or individual? How big of a group?

[oldbike54]

 Dunno , group rate I think

 Dusty

[oldbike54]

Does level 2 have hourly rates by chance?

John Henry

 That was the hourly group rate , you don't think we could act up for more than an hour W/O a nap , right ?

 Dusty

[Gliderjohn]

Once again I remind you all if you get too far out of line and duct taping to a tree or dunking in the sewage lagoon doesn't cool one down there is the last resort, the four season comfort Cedar Vale jail.



GliderJohn

[oldbike54]

Wait a minute.

We have to wait for someone to misbehave before we can duct tape them to a tree???


John Henry

 There isn't actually a rule .

 Dusty

[JC85]

So will there be no short group ride on Saturday?
