Time to get out after a long Winter! The MLBs and SOBs, along with any other lifestyle biker groups that wish to join in, will be holding a party to mark the beginning of the riding season. We have contracted with a resort in Eureka Springs that knows exactly what we are and how wild we plan to get!!! They say that as long as we don't put glass in the bottom of their swimming pool, we can do anything else we want! And we put the "no rules" and "clothing optional" thing to the test last year! EG We will meet at the resort on Friday evening to ride someplace for dinner followed by partying back at the resort. We can spend all day Saturday riding some of the great roads around Eureka Springs with, of course, lots of refreshment stops and lots of gratuitous flashing. We can eventually party at the resort on Saturday night and Sunday morning before riding back out our respective directions on Sunday afternoon. The resort is offering their banquet hall/party room for us to use free of charge the entire weekend as well as the outdoor party area behind the building, hot tub, etc. Rooms are $69, the magic number, for 2 doubles or 2 queens, $75 for single king. and $99 for a king with jacuzzi. You can make your reservations by contacting:

Rodeway Inn Swiss Holiday Resort, 2015 East Van Buren, Eureka Springs, AR, 72632 Phone: 888-582-2220 www.eurekaspringsresort.com

Tell them you are with the MLB group. Again, they know what we are and everything so we won't get any hassles.

The first edition of this event last year drew a huge group completely filling the host resort and spilling over to the surrounding motels. If you want in the main resort, be sure to call them and make your reservations early. The online reservation form doesn't work because the computer system shows all rooms taken by us already, so call on the phone.

As the main resort gets full, we will be using the 1876 Inn ( www.1876inn.com ) for the spillover and they will be having an all-you-can-eat breakfast each morning. When the main resort gets full, you can make reservations with the 1876 Inn by calling Chet at 800-643-3030 or by emailing Jo at jo@1876inn.com .
