Allen,
May 10th is mother's day, which has created a problem in the past for some folks. Just something to take into consideration.

Thanks, Joe! We will see how the votes go. But at least now others will know what that weekend also contains.

I will most likely not be able to participate this year, other than possibly driving down in the car, for the parking lot antics on Saturday. So I won't participate in the poll. It is good to see that someone is picking up the ball on trying to make a 2015 Ramble happen.

I believe that it has been mothers day weekend, at least once in the past.

My vote is 1-3 May. Missing Mother's Day would jeopardize FODS & EOM for me.
May 1-3 won't work because of the graduation. Reservations would need to be done within the next couple of weeks to have any chance and rooms are much more expensive!

I get it, it won't work for the group. That's fine - as Spock put it, "the needs of the many..."
I can still host the page and any gps files for download.

I'm pretty sure that last year, or maybe the year before was also graduation weekend. And I don't remember anyone complaining about the room rate. I know that there were a couple of new hotels going up last year, east of 77.

15th thru the 17th is qually's at the track. I went to the Gran Prix last year which will be on the 9th so it's pick your poison for this Indy Car freak.

What can a local person do to assist with your Marietta visit?
Check with local hotels to see what availability and room prices are really like that first weekend in May. That seems to be the best choice for our group while the other dates are compromises.

It doesn't have to be in Marietta. Theirs lots of accommodations available in just to the North in Cambridge. Then theirs Zanesville or even Wheeling, Morgantown or Charleston WV. All are within the riding area.
Meh, doesn't matter to me. I'll be there. In fact, now that I think about it, I'd prefer it later in the month. Last year coming home from Toronto north it was 2C. I was okay, but Jim still clacks when he walks.

Athens is home to Ohio Univ. If they don't have anything going on May 1 wknd, there should be tons of rooms and good rates there.
Kinda cool right on the river also, we would be in the thick of things there (route wise) also.

Just .02 cents about location - The routes are typically split into stuff east and west of I-77. Prime location would be one along I-77 that provides quick access to loops on the east and west side of I-77. Marietta, Caldwell, Cambridge, and even Parkersburg, WV fall in this zone.
Athens could work, but it makes an east loop a bit of a stretch; Athens is 47 miles from Marietta; you're basically banking 100 miles of the east loop just getting to and from I-77.
Just food for thought...

Thanks, Wayne. This is why I'm planning on staying in Marietta unless someone comes up with a city, hotel and decent rate in another city nearby. Minimal work needs to be done to make this little shin dig happen. Updating a bunch of routes is not in my plans.
