2011 AMCA Southern National Meet

[joedcranford]

I had such a great time in Denton, NC this weekend. I meet a lot of good people - saw a lot of fantastic vintage bikes and jsut had myself a good old time. This was my first AMCA event I have participated in and felt very welcomed and at home - keep up the good work! I was the guy with the 74 Montesa 123-T that had a grin on his face. What do y'all think about vintage cross country or trials next year?

I heard the meet was sparsely populated. Are high fuel costs keeping people away?

[Robert Luland]

I think it has more to do with timing, being Oley was only two weeks ago and only a hand full of miles away.

537 miles is a bit more than a hand full. But if I had two major meets within that distance I would certainly make both.

Chris, you heard right, it was down from last year, however I did not go last year but that is what everyone that went last yr said. Gas prices might have been a factor also, plus the weather, even though friday started out misty and overcast, the rain held off, thanks, Larry

I am looking forward to the Hanford, CA meet this weekend.

Living in east Tennessee, the (relatively short) trip to Denton didn't have a "gas price" issue for me. I didn't go however, because of the weather forecast. Called for 60% rain and thunderstorms all weekend. I'm now wanting to shoot myself. (or the weather channel)
