Just as a heads up, we made our reservation today under the COG room block. I was quoted a room rate of $129 per night for a single king. Definitely a pleasant surprise!

Yes, the $149 rate mentioned is only for the Saturday night before the rally and the Friday night after the rally. Rally nights are $129, higher for suites.

That information is correct and I am glad that $129.00 room rate is a pleasant surprise. The rooms at the hotel are good size with large bathrooms. Very modern and clean. Hotel was added and built in 2017. All new beds will be in place before our June rally also. :)
 
For those that are wanting to camp, I tried to make reservations at the Coronado Campground's website. It would not allow me because it was more than 210 days of the event. I called them, and the employee told me that I would have to wait till it's 210 days of the rally to make the reservation. I explained to him ot was for the COG rally, but he wouldn't budge.

Hi Irene, I have not spoken to anyone (Campground Management) about getting reservations at the Coronado Campground. When our group went through the campground to survey it there was no one to speak with. In the next 30 days I will get more information about Campground and KOA rates and get it posted for our attendees. Thank you for your patience.
 
Saw that, too. Also be very aware of the lack of hookups for RVs at Coronado. Looks like you’ll need a sewage dump cart for this place or you’ll need to drive around to the dump station every couple of days. I might be wrong because I just gave it a quick look.

Folks did you survey the Stagecoach Stop RV Park near 550 and 528 about 1 mile away from the hotel? I have not stayed there...but it does have full service sites for those that would want them. https://www.stagecoachstoprv.net/
 
Irene confirmed online that Coronado does not have sewer hookups, only water and electricity. They do have a dump station.
We're planning to stay there. Very short walk to rally central and very reasonable rates.
Our tanks will work for the 5 nights if we slightly conserve water 🫰

Just don't go digging in the west mesa!! Just watched the movie Boneyard. Apparently a serial killer was buring his victims out on the west Mesa back in 2009....

Ken, after last year, this week seem like a short ride!
 
Hi all:)
This might be the time to make a rally run for us! I saw the room rates and would appreciate the rally fees. Thanks!IMG_20241007_124258.jpg
 
The registration fees are not established yet for the 2025. Based on previous years, registration will probably be a little over a $100 total.

Well after my wife and daughter got together to plan our family vacation for next year I was given bad news. They scheduled it same time as the National. They did kindly give me an option. Go to the National or go on vacation with the family. I’m thinking it’s in my best interest I chose vacation with family. All that being said I no longer need the room I have reserved. Not sure it’s possible but I may be able to transfer the reservation to someone if any interest. I don’t know if rooms are getting low on availability or not. No one night pre pay was required. Let me know or should I just cancel.

Damn kids......

My oldest decided he is getting married in June. Pretty joyous announcement in this house but kind of screws up my routes out across Kansas through Great Bend, Jetmore and Kalvesta then to Ft Garland and down through Taos retracing a bicycle trip I took from San Diego to Chicago.

Ahhhh well. Looks like Maine in the summer. I am happy for him.....hopefully one of my 4 boys will give me a grandkid.

Canceled my room reservations today. Now available.
 
Working on finalizing plans in the next few weeks. I have a bit of a logistical hurdle in that the orchestra I'm playing in has concerts on June 14 & 15 (we're playing Dvorak's 9th, New World Symphony...it's kind of a big deal for music nerds). That might normally knock me out...except that my parents live 14 miles from Rally HQ, in northeast Albuquerque. So I'm working out a plan to ride down the first week of June (only 1420 miles), stash the bike at their place, fly back to Oregon on the 7th or 8th, do the concerts, catch an early flight back down on Monday the 16th, then ride home after the rally. We'll see if I can pull this one off!

Awesome! "From New World Symphony" #9 by Dvorak is one of my favorite pieces of music! Hope you can make it to the rally after playing at the concerts.
 
For all you food loving folks, don't be afraid of the green or red Chilli salsa they put on anything and everything. Made with Hatch chili's that are roasted (red is made with same chili just riper). Just a touch of heat but OH SO GOOD!! You'll get addicted to it. I'll bring back a couple gallons worth when I drive out to my moms. BUT .....wait for it...... Costco carries 505 southwest hatch chili sauce online..... pretty close being there. So when y'all get home and need that green chili on that burger, you'll thank me later...
 
Okay, it's officially on, I signed us up today. Now if I only knew what theshirts I ordered actually are going to look like...... ;-)

See you at the KOA or Rally Central.

Ron
 
Irene and I are also signed up.
Ron, the right way to state it: see you at Rally Central AND at the KOA.
 
Leaving from New England area heading to the rally. Currently riding alone, if anyone is interested in writing together let me know.
