When are you planning on going to kettle falls? I've never been there.
Not sure but I'll post it when we pick something. I have 2 BIIIIG rides scheduled in August so I would guess July sometime. Last year we stayed at a really cool little motel there with a long porch and chairs. Cheap but my favorite motel ever. Normally we'd reserve the group campground but since that won't happen, we could still arrange a meetup. My 1000 is still nuts and bolts. I hope to have it together by then but if not I'll come on something else.

Sounds good. We enjoy cheap motels, It makes it so we can afford to stay longer.
We found a couple of good ones last year on our rides. My wife wants to know if there are other couples going. Plus if your not looking to add anyone to this ride just let me know, I would understand if your not.

Dugg - I'm not keen on group rides. That's because most people go faster than I want to go. So the times I've been with a group, I go at the back, and catch up when there's a smoke/butt break. Kettle Falls is a beautiful area and the ride there is gorgeous. Last year my wife, son and I went - 3 bikes. We will probably do it again & stay in that same motel. We took 2 days each way. Stayed in Omak on the way and Waterville on the way back. Great if you'd like to ride along with us, 'long as you can handle our grandma pace.

Thanks for the info. If we went I would probably do a lay over In Winthrop. I haven't done any group rides since in my early twenties and those where crazy. I don't ride too fast with the wife on the back and I don't push it too hard when solo either.
