Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Blue Ridge Parkway, VA, M3W Rally, 2-6 June '21

Would everyone who is coming mind pinging in? The group reservation list isn't very helpful.

opps, meant 30-45 not 3045... okay with share drinks, but someone had a really STRANGE mixture of wiskey and flavourings last time.... LOL... but I admit, it was better as the evening progressed

I’ll be there

update on the group rides....

Thursday: a ride north to Front Royal then over the fort valley to a great lookout over Luray. Then a descent into Luray for lunch.... it looks like there is a BBQ place with outdoor seating.

[Saturday: Ride over to Rappahannnck Cellars for a tour/tasting (there is a small fee). There is a food truck and outdoor picnic tables. Then on to Sperryville to the Copper Fox distillery then up the winding hill back to Skyland

Any idea of how many m3s will be coming

There have been questions as to how many will be attending the rally. I'll bump this as I have only received two responses so far.

Rodger, the rally routes are excellent.
All - given the rural location of Skyland Lodge and scattered arrivals, How about an itinerary that blends group and individual time, and allows flexibility but also a schedule where we can all meet. Something like this:

2 June, Wed.
Weather permitting, park on the lawn upon arrival for meet/greet social.
1700 Cars and Libations on the Lawn (BYOB a home-favorite libation to share)
1800 Dinner/BBQ at Skyland (Rodger's brat's if we can all commit to bring something to share - otherwise let's agree upfront to dine at the restaurant).
1930 Sunset cruise to the overlook

3 June, Thurs
0830 Breakfast at the Lodge. Rendezvous outside Restaurant lobby for best chance at group seating
0930 Group ride - meet on lawn for logistics
Lunch in town (Luray?)

MichaelS - looks like a good plan to me - thanks again to you and Rodger for organizing.

I have had some issues come up and I am on the bubble. Will know in a couple of days.

Folks, important status update.
Need feedback please:

Two years ago by this point (<2-weeks out) we received more inquiries and confirmations. That event netted 10-12 Morgans. My presumption when organizing the rally again this year is that latent Covid demand will drive attendance. So far though, the number feels lower. I only 'see' four Skyland Lodge reservations linked to the group, including my own. There may be more, plus at least one at the RV park. But Emil just advised me of inbound part's shipping delays that will preclude two expected 3W's (not to mention his own) from attending.

Obviously, the more the merrier. This venue is a fantastic experience, practically designed for the M3W. But what is the minimum number of 3W's requited to justify those from far away to make the effort? Do we have enough participation or do we postpone until the Fall?
