Subject: [East2] Call For Checks -- RCR XII From: Martyn Wheeler Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2003 16:18:23 -0400 (EDT) The Twelfth Annual Right Coast Ride June 27-29, 2003 Come one, come all to the twelfth edition of what is now believed to be the longest-running continuous Denizens of Doom motorcycle rally! It is to be held at the Blue Ridge Motorcycle Campground (http://www.blueridgemotorcyclecamp.com) at Cruso, North Carolina. The Right Coast Ride (RCR) is an annual gathering of the Denizens of Doom, usenet's very own motorcycle gang. It is aimed at bringing together biker geeks from the "right" coast of North America -- from the eastern seaboard to the Mississippi River. The RCR has been happening every year since 1992 as a floating event, moving around to various sites within the area bounded by the Mason-Dixon Line on the north and the North Carolina/South Carolina border on the south. This year's RCR will be returning to the North Carolina mountains, but to a new location promising different twisty roads and a great motorcycle campground. You do *not* have to be a "member" of the Denizens of Doom, have a number, know who the Keeper is, or even known anything about bikes or computers, or anything like that to attend. Everyone who gets this message is automatically an honorary Computer Geek on Bike and will be welcome, as will friends, family, and children. Please feel free to redistribute this message to appropriate regional mailing lists. Attendance has varied widely from RCR to RCR, with 36 when we had one out in western Kentucky to just over 100 for one of the Maryland retreats. The NC mountains are a popular destination, and we're hoping for a good turnout this year. This year, lodging and meal costs will be handled between individual attendees and the campground. Call the campground directly at (828) 235-8350 to book your cabin or campsite, and mention that you're with the Denizens of Doom. "RCR Central" will be cabin #17 by the trout pond, but feel free to set up anywhere you want. Cabin rental includes sheets, pillows, blankets, and bath towels. They have windows and electric heat, and are furnished for two people. The nightly rate is $40.00 per cabin. The campground has a central bathhouse with separate showers and private dressing areas, and there are also laundry facilities between the separate men's and women's bathhouses. Reservations are not required for tent camping. The cost is $15.00 per night for a single and $22.00 for a double per tent, with additional tents at $9.00. The camp store rents mattresses, towels, and other items. Late arrivals: Anyone who's planning on a late arrival please let Sharon (sharon@foreven.com) know ahead of time. Tenters are asked to set up near the gate that night, and cabin renters will be left a key -- if the campground management knows ahead of time! The campground serves breakfast and dinner, and they're setting up a tent for the RCR dinner/ceremony for Saturday night. Dinner costs will, again, be paid directly to the campground rather than going through the RCR "organization." HOWEVER, we will be providing beer and sodas (soda, water, other non-alchoholic drinks). If you want to participate in this, we need you to pay us for it. As last year, a selection of beer will be available Friday and Saturday night, and soda/water/juice as well. Martyn will *not* be Beer Czar -- Melanie Drake is the Beer Czarina -- so it'll mostly be decent microbrew and so on. Beer and Soda $13.00 Soda only $5.00 Checks should be made out to Sharon Wheeler and sent to: Sharon Wheeler [...] In addition, would everyone planning to attend please fill out and sign the following waiver, and send it to the above address. We will have copies at the RCR for last-minute attendees. We need the form and check by June 20th, or email sharon@foreven.com if you think it's going to be late. ============================================================================ Waiver Form ============================================================================ The following is a release and Indemnity - Please read it before submitting your registration.
