Midwest Recumbent Rally
Mrs. Grouch and I have made the decision to go to the rally in August. We'll be staying at the Comfort Inn in Plover. Anybody else?

I live just over 2 hours from Stevens Point and have been there a few times, but I've never gone up to the rally. Don't know why it doesn't appeal to me. Guess I just like cruising Wisconsin's bike trails more.

Is the rally always in the same place? The Midwest Tandem Rally moves every year.

I went in 2008. If you can make it, it is well worth the trip. Just to be able to see all the makes of bents makes the trip worth it. Most of all it is really fun talking to all the other bent riders. BTW the ride routes are beautiful. The roads are good, and the traffic is light.

My wife and I are considering it. Have been wanting to for a while.
Need to get car set up to transport the bikes first.
How's the room availability? Hope we haven't waited too long.

I'm debating on it. I'm kinda of in the market for a new trike so a chance to ride a bunch of test rides really appeals to me. I'll be out west at the Sturgis motorcycle rally and may just leave a couple days early to get there for the test rides.
