BACKROADS 2012 EVENTS

Once again, you've procrastinated and all the rooms at the Mimslyn Inn are booked.

But, you can still join the fun. There are several lodging options in Luray including Best Western (across from the Mimslyn), Days Inn and some Bed and Breakfasts. Check the internet and hopefully we'll see you there.

We are working on a group dinner for Friday, May 18. Once we have the details, we'll post them here and on our Facebook page, as well as in the April issue. We need to give the Inn a headcount, so reservations are necessary. You can email or call us here at Backroads to get your name on the list. Those staying at the Inn will have the cost added to their room. Those staying elsewhere will need to confirm with the Mimslyn.

Check back in March for more updates on the Rally. Before you know it, we'll be heading south for the fun. See you then.

BACKROADS SPRING BREAK XIV

When: May 17-20, 2012

Where: The Historic Mimslyn Inn – Luray, Virginia

Join us and start the 2012 riding season off right with a few days exploring the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, Blue Ridge Parkway and stunning surrounding Virginia countryside.

Our host hotel is the Mimslyn Inn, which just celebrated its 80th anniversary. It was taken over in 2005 by the Asam family, the same owners as the Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown, WV and another stop on the Backroads’ Rally circuit. It underwent a multi-million dollar renovation in 2008, which included adding the Speakeasy, a casual restaurant in the Prohibition-era style with live entertainment Tuesday – Friday. The Mimslyn also offers a fitness center and Seasons Spa to take care of your aching body after your workout. It’s the perfect base to explore places like the deep Luray Caverns, the largest in the eastern United States or the Luray Zoo, a local favorite.

Your choice of rooms are the historic featuring a queen bed for $99/night (total for three nights: $326.70) or a larger suite for $199/night (total for three nights: $656.70). We may have an outdoor BBQ one night which would be an additional $35/pp, but we’ll let you know later on that. As we always say, rooms are limited but this time we REALLY MEAN IT – there are only 45 historic rooms and a handful of suites so BOOK TODAY. Once they are gone, there are other hotels nearby for overflow.

In order to reserve into the Backroads Group, you must call them at 540-743-5105 and ask for that special booking. So, you’ve finished reading this, what are you waiting for? Pick up the phone and make the call. 2012 is right around the corner.
