GREAT RIDE -- GREAT FUN -- GREAT FELLOWSHIP
IFMR 2011 FALL GET-TOGETHER
SNOWSHOE, WV
The Inn at Snowshoe
October 14-16, 2011
Fall is fantastic and the riding is great in the mountains of West
Virginia.
Mark your calendar for another great IFMR fall weekend get-together
and ride in the spectacular Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia.
We’ve made arrangements for a great weekend including a 200 mile
Saturday loop ride in the scenic Allegheny Highlands, fellowship
dinners on Friday and Saturday evenings, and a farewell breakfast on
Sunday morning.
ROOMS WILL BE SCARCE, SO MAKE RESERVATIONS NOW!!! Several colleges
in the area are having their Homecoming on the same weekend, so many
hotels/motels in the area are already booked solid. However, we’ve
arranged for excellent lodging at a special IFMR rate of $64/night
at the scenic Inn at Snowshoe, located just off WV 66 at the base of
the mountain at Snowshoe Resort, which is about 50 miles south of
Elkins, WV. For those who might prefer a B&B or condo instead, there
are many in the area that can be found on-line. To make
reservations, contact
The Inn at Snowshoe - 877-441-4386
10 Snowshoe Drive, Snowshoe, WV 26209
Be sure to mention our group code: IFMR. Rooms not reserved by
October 1 will be released, so act now.
For those who want to arrive early or leave later in order to enjoy
more of the Allegheny Highlands area, there are many other points of
scenic, historic, and scientific interest in the area. For example,
the Cass Scenic Railroad is just a few miles away, as is the
National Radio Astronomy Center in Greenbank, WV.
For those of you who like to program the route into your GPS, or
just like to get out your maps and study the route before the
get-together, attached is a tentative route map of our Saturday loop
ride. We’ll leave the Inn promptly at 9 AM and plan to return about
5 PM, with dinner at 6:30 PM at the Inn.
Mark your calendar, call now for room reservations, and plan to join
us in Snowshoe. If you have questions or want more details, contact
me at rshriner@aol.com or 540-349-8193. Otherwise, just let me know
you plan to come so we can have a head-count for the meals. (Just
hit REPLY, insert my email address in the TO block, and fill out the
form below, delete this announcement text, then hit SEND.)
We'll look forward to seeing you there!!! And don't forget to pass
the word to your friends and invite them to come with you.

IFMR FALL GET-TOGETHER -- October 13-16, 2011 in
the Allegheny Highlands of VA and WV
Ron & Cena Simmons are putting together plans for another great fall
get-together in the Allegheny Highlands of West Virginia. Details
are still being worked out but the event will likely include an
"early-bird" get-together on Thursday evening at Ron & Cena's place
at Woodstock, VA (on I-81), a ride on Friday thru the spectacular
Allegheny Highlands to the Friday-night get-together dinner and
overnight stay at sensational Snowshoe Resort in WV. On Saturday
they're working on plans to visit the New River Gorge Bridge and
Gauley River area for some spectacular local activities, then
eventually back to Woodstock thru the Seneca Rocks area. It's gonna
be a "not to be missed" IFMR get-together during the height of fall
foliage season in the Allegheny Highlands.
Full details on lodging, etc, will be coming soon. Meanwhile, mark
your calendar and make plans to join us for a great weekend of
riding, fun, and fellowship. Get together a group from your club. At
our spring get-together back in May in Altoona, PA, we had riders
who came from as far away as Ontario, Michigan, New York, Virginia,
and West Virginia, as well as from Pennsylvania.
