The customer service rep I spoke with said that the online brokers show "Sold Out" at 40% booking.....so if you get shut down, call them.

Farmer John,

Did you get $49/night for weekend rates?!? I called and they told me $69 for Friday, $89 for Saturday and $79 for Sunday.

Aimee, yep we're in! :thumb:

To all:

I posted a few pages back about getting a group discount rate. $89/night Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

If anyone has found a better rate for those night, please post how you got it. Otherwise, it would be nice to team up and get the group rate directly from the Peppermill. We need to get at least 15 rooms to get that rate.

I've got our backup plan already booked elsewhere (the Fairfield Inn in Sparks), but can cancel it right up until the day we arrive if something better comes along. I'd like to stay at the Peppermill too, but the cost is $20/night more without the group rate.

(BTW, that's the tower rate.)

Bsmith, are you driving down? When? What kind of vehicle do you have? Any interest in carpooling, or at least caravanning? (I'd rather not drive my rattletrap tin can of a pickup that far if I can avoid it but I'll survive if I have to)

So what days are you guys riding? Fri-Sun? Anyone riding Monday? Or Thursday?

I'm ticket hunting and having a hard time finding anything under $800 (2 tix - Chicago to Reno). :( If I wasn't planning a trip to Romania this December to see my step-sis as well... it wouldn't be so bad.

But we're considering... and would be willing to share a room with someone to save a few $ as well.

How cold will it be at night for camping?

I'll have a new tent by then, as cozy as the other one was :laugh:

Peppermill reservations made! I even put down for Monday night in case we decide to stay and ski at Tahoe for an extra day.


Let me know what's up with the group rates, do we have enough people?

FC, At this point I might be going to Boise first with the Family on Tuesday, then to Reno.
I'm thinking of getting there Thursday night and leaving Monday morning.

I don't know how the wifey would take it that on Valentines Weekend for the Valentine ride I was taking a 24 year gal that also rides a KTM :scream: for she allready thinks I'm wierd for meeting a bunch of dirt peeps I've never met before ;)

CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH .. That is the sound me&nbsp;eating&nbsp;my words. I get home last night and start talking to her about the ride and she looked at me with that blank stare that only means one thing "I never said&nbsp;that" :think: WTF? Looks like I am out. Dont get me wrong here I REALLY want to go and she is actually OK with&nbsp;me going&nbsp;but it is&nbsp;terrible timing for me to spend that kind of $$. My wifes birthday is 2 weeks after&nbsp;and I was hoping to bring her along and stay around for a few days for her Bday and since she aint going it is hard to justify me spending her birthday $$ on me.&nbsp;

Sorry If I got yall's hope up that someone was going to be there that was slower than you.&nbsp; :whiner:

Cool. Thanks man. That was the ticket. I was making the mistake of asking for the Lodge which is the 3-story and more expensive rooms, instead of the Motor Lodge, which is the 1-story ghetto. :thumb:

Booked at the Peppermill again! :)

$29 for Wednesday and Thursday nights
$49 for Friday and Sunday nights
$65 for Saturday night

This is for Cam. Shake your head ,you are Canadian! Its like a hot Vancouver summer day down there in Febuary. Pack your shorts and sunscreen! Not to worry though we are bringing a chainsaw this year so we can really show people how to make a fire. As the time gets closer let me know and maybe we can caravan.

Bsmith, I guess I can understand your wife's point of view but dammit, why don't people understand it's all about the DIRT BIKES???

380, I will have another (non-DRNer) with me so we'd need room for both of us, luggage, gear, and 2 bikes. So unless someone has an SUV or extended cab pickup with a trailer, I'll just drive my Toyota.

MikeB, we'll miss you! Too bad it won't work out. You would have had SO much fun.

Lou, you gonna ride the motoweapon through the fire? Nice thing about Reno, there's no curfew . . . haha

Kokanee, can I run the chainsaw? I really like chainsaws. :laugh:

:debil: Haha, not that motoweapon! The big blue one... :p

Although, fiddy races up that hill would probably be good for those wanting to take pics, since it's be the longest drag race in history. Prolly some pushing/running alongside involved, too. :laugh:
