The Knickerbocker Duc run

[Daren]

So after a few conversations with the good Dr Wooding. I have decided to try to put a group ride together in and around the Lafayette area. still a few bugs to iron out (hoping we can get a local to guide us, attn. Doc).

My cousin owns a bar in downtown Lafayette (The Knickerbocker) and is well known for being a good party host. I will have lodging info(hoping to lock some free) and a few other bits in the coming days.

The dates I am looking at are May 22 or May 29 or Fathers Day weekend June 19th. The plan is to meet up in or near Lafayette, ride all day, park the bikes; Shit, Shower and Shave (faces, legs or both(Mario )). Then party like rock stars.

I am more than willing to be the local guide.  I just can't do it on the 29th of May because I'm the best man in my cousins wedding that day.  I would be able to put a few people up as long as my wife has not been transfered by then.  If we have moved I might be able to have some people stay with me at a buddies house.

Sounds like fun.  The 29th doesn't work for me either.  I will be in WV riding the big bike.( trying not to kill myself.)

[screaminss]

I'm in

[Daren]

Ok so I am gonna take the 29th out of the running right now, Leaning towards the 22nd, waiting to hear from my cousin for sure.

[docholiday]

Talked to the wife and the 22nd will work really well for me as she has a bachlorette party to go to that night already.

I got us a deal on hotel rooms at a Holiday inn select about a block away from the bar and in the center of all the other bars and restaunts. $80 a nite, PM me to let me know who wants a room and I will book them. We (Jeanne and I) may be going down Friday nite and the plan is to meet at the hotel at 10:30 or so for brunch and head out for the ridding. For the northern Hoolies, let me know who wants to go down friday night and we will figure out a meet up spot. Remember we are brand loyal but not brand snobs so all brands of bikes are welcome so if you have a buddy you want to bring along do it(I have a friend tagging along on his V-Rod) 

[screaminss]

Good choice on the hotel. You are right, that IS walking (or crawling) distance from any reputable drinking establishment in down town Lafayette or even across the bridge where the kiddie (not titty) bars are.

[docholiday]

Yea that is "the" downtown hotel. I don't know if I would crawl back to the hotel since you have to go by the police station.  Purdue's graduation is the 14th thru the 16th so I'm not sure if all of the campus bars will be open on the 22nd.  Good news is 40,000 students won't be there.   

Daren were you planing on eating at the hotel resturant for brunch or somewhere else?
