Yep, it would be cool if you could make it out! Don't you have a
BMW or something? That aught to be better on the gas. Heck, you've
got the bike, right? A 5% cash-back gas credit card, a sleeping bag
and pup tent strapped to the bike, and you are good to go! ;-) As
far as the trail riding at the meet itself goes, I'm sure some of us
will have some available seats. You've got to eat no matter where you
are, might as well do it at the meet instead of at home! The
main expense would be the travel and lodging. (Heh - I can't decide if
I'm just really helpful or a bad influence.) ;-)
Seriously though, sorry to hear about the job, I hope that works
out for you, and if you do manage to figure a way out to the
meet, that would be pretty cool. :-) Good luck with everything!
