Just a reminder...
Only a few days left for pre registration for the 2010 National sidecar rally in Essex Vermont.
Although I don't believe that Jim Bryant will be able to make it due to the accident and considering he will be operated on today we wish him all the best and hope for a full and speedy recovery!

As of today we have 114 people pre registered with more planing to attend some coming as far as California,Colorado.Missouri,Kansas,Texas,Michigan Indiana and Ohio from the west, and Florida,North and South Carolina,Alabama,Virginia on up to the New England states.There are about 7 of our neighbors to the North attending one couple coming from Thunder Bay OntarioOn the international side there is a person attending from Australia possiably a couple from England and at this point Jim Bryant from China is still in questionfor me it will be old home week I plan to be there on Tuesday evening coming from Western New YorkAnd yes camping is an additional cost
thanks for the reply.
sounds like a lot of fun. i would like to meet some side car peaple.
can i make the rally payment when i get there.
i am trying to decide weather to ride there and stay in a hotel or take the rv and trailer.
im a fair weather biker and the dogs have not been on any real long rides.
are there many peaple camping at the fair grounds or is there another favorite hangout.
sorry for all of the questions im just trying to paint a picture in my mind of the event. i still have to convince the wife to go.
If you want to be surrounded by like minded people in the world of sidecars then Vermont in July is the place to be.
As for registering when you arrive that's not a problem many people do it to fit their plans or time schedule if you go to the home page you will see a button at the top that says rally 2010 click on it and there is a list of motels in the area or bring the rv I know that a fair amount are planing to do the same, as for our four legged friends CRV rules mandate that they be on a leash at all times and that their owners remove any "by products" that may be generated on the spot shall we say 😉 .
The majority stay at the camp grounds but others prefer a motel or their RV so it is up to the person that wants to attend where they prefer to spend the night
Hope to see you there
I see that the same week we will be at the CVE for the National that there wil be a horse show and also the Green Mountain roller derby dames will be runing the course on saturday night http://cvexpo.org/CVECalendarofEvents.aspx
Bonjour Chuck,
Sometime life throws you a curve ball. I just found out my children's one and only soccer tournament is on the 10th of July.
I see the rally starts on the 8th...do you expect/plan much activity on the 8th+9th? I'm thinking of coming down for the Thurs-Fri and leaving bright and early Sat (or late Fri)...is there much happenning on Friday the 9th?
Hey Big D
Thursday and friday people come rolling in and for the most part it is like old home week for us seeing people we havent seen since the last rally and catching up on things we are planing on a ride to Ben and Jerrys ice cream plant on friday afternoon there are some self guided rides in the area, to me generally friday and mostly saturday are the days with the activitys, hey Big D sometimes family comes first in life hope they win 🙂 .
I figure I can bring the kids for an overnight (Thurs) campout, surrounded by wild men on three wheeled motorcycles, and then have a relaxing ride home Fri PM. In bed in time to be in shape for the games on Sat.
You are right...family does comes first! Doesn't mean we can't ride.
Trying to do it all.
