Either may work for me, but I'd like to get a date firmed up ASAP, so the wife and I can schedule our vacation around it...

Right now, being I'm a 'maybe' I'd say either could work. Need to check with co-workers, see what they have in for vaca to confirm. And I got to check with the girl, see if it'll work and money sitch, saving up for a wedding and whatnot...
But I'd say no later than these two weeks, as work significantly picks up for me.

We'll leave the polls open for a little while. Either weekend works for me... and the sooner we get it firmed up, the better. I need hard dates/times to get everything ready...

Both weekends would probably work for me, I just have to make sure I can work up the funds to make it there.

This spring has a few things on my schedule, so earliest that would work for me is late April. Starting this poll to see which of the 2 weekends works best for others.
Actually thought about a thread like this today but i chickened out. Spring semester is over May 4th. Mid may would work best for me and josh. We really are looking forward to make it.

I said earlier that either work for me, but I've got a bike meet the last weekend of May, so the 20th that I voted for works best for me. Anything later than that, and I get pretty busy, like Nick...
The other thing that can be done is, for those who can't do it that early, maybe another TECORE can be done in the summer?

Dang well if for some reason you guys end up going with the 27-29 I would be in for sure but if it's the 20th then I guess I'll have to catch the next one cuz I can't back out of the camping trip sense I'm one of the ones setting it up

We like to meet up around noonish on Fri. The Walmart seems to work well, because people can grab last minute supplies as needed.
I'm trying to plan out a slightly different route this time. Might head up German River on Saturday and explore a bit deeper than we've gone before. Not sure... I'm a man of habit, and that route we normally take works well. We'll probably do the small out-and-back trail Friday afternoon, as a good break-in run.
I've been wanting to do the normal Friday trail backwards, and never have. Maybe this year we will.

Definitely in for the 27th-29th or later, I should be back by Thurs. the 26th. Just enough time to get ready, and the wife will come along this time.

The 26th is my birthday, but it really depends on if we are still in our house. Costs quite a bit in fuel, but if the house sells we should have some free'ed up funds. We got a showing on Friday, so maybe it will work out.
they've always worked for me.
