    Mancation is Set 16 May through 21 May

    At this time it appears that Mancation will happen from May 16th through May 21st.

    Preliminary travel appears to be…..

    Grand Junction to Grand Canyon Village AZ….. Staying in Flagstaff first night

    Flagstaff to Kingman on old 66… then on to quartzsite az

    Quartzsite to Socorro NM. Longest day….

    Socorro to Grand Junction, CO running red mtn pass….. (This day may be broke into two days depending on the weather and how everyone is feeling.

    Remember the rules of Mancation….

    We ride…..

    No Whinning… (We do not stop for mani-pedi’s ever… we do stop for booze)

    Chicks (Last year a chick rode with… it appears they are welcome as they can possess the same attitude of the first two rules, so it works out.)

    You are free to break off at any time…. The object is enjoyable miles, if your idea of enjoyable is different mine have at it on your own. Guy Rules…. Nothing personal if you go off no one will be hurt nor should feel you have to stay. (Guys rules= beer after three years still “friends”)

    Idea of the miles is to see lots of things from astride the bike…… and stop minimally

    Staying very south this year….. warm weather….. after this winter it is what I am interested in….


    Remember the route changes depending on time we make and conditions…..

    As a BBQ professional Mancation has taken an interesting twist. Some of the people I know from the Barbeque forum are putting together a welcoming BBQ in Flagstaff on the evening of the 16th of May.

      Hotel is set, block of rooms is set up....

      Hotel Block has been locked in..... the block will accept reservations for either Smoked-meat BBQ gathering, or the Mancation Ride... but you need to ask for the HOG block either way.

      If you double up and split that is $55 per night, I consider that good. Look forward to meeting people.....

      Each room will have 2 queen size beds. The discounted group rate will be $110.00 plus tax for each room.

      Instruct the members of your group to call the hotel and ask to make a reservations from the Hog Members group block.

          Why not "live stream it" via the web, or get some live radio feeds so we could all turn on the All American Mancation Station ....to see/hear the Mancation of America.

          And we need to see some Bad ass Biker Baggin' along the way.

            Well I have the rack space and bandwidth but I don't know the hotel could handle streaming.

            I will post pictures.
