2011 Cape Henlopen (Lewes, Delaware) Rally Sept. 17/18

[KilroyCD]

Hi all, it's time to start planning the 2011 Cape Helopen (Lewes, DE) Rally. This will be the fourth annual rally at the park. As always, all categories of motorized bikes are welcome, from gas to electrics to mopeds. Heck, if it has two (or three) wheels, bring it!
We will soon post a date for this event. We're looking to hold it in either September or early October, but a few weekends are not good (at least for this organizer). The weekend of September 10/11 is out, and September 17/18 might not be good either because of it coinciding with Delmarva Bike Week. The last rally coincided with that and traffic was horrendous on Sunday. We want to avoid October 1/2 for two reasons: first it's the NASCAR event at Dover and traffic gets beyond horrendous, plus room rates skyrocket. Secondly, it is the weekend of the Trexlertown (PA) Bicycle Swap Meet, and I will be there.
The weekend of September 24/25 might be in the running but I'm awaiting confirmation of another event date that may pose a conflict for me.
If that weekend doesn't work I'm going to suggest October 8/9.
We will have T-shirts made for the event as last year, plus we are looking to give out awards again. I have found a better source for trophies, so expect much larger trophies than before.
Stay tuned!

this rally sounds really kool. please let me know when u find out the date. i know u have invited me to it in the past killroy , but this year i would like ti make it. just a very busy time of year. being a small business owner takes up most of my summer time. i also will be attending the swap meet in trexlertown, and delmarva bike week, cause my triumph needs riding too. but no doubt i would like to try to make it to the lewes rally.

Sptember 17/18 is the date!

Okay folks, mark your calendars! Against my better judgement I'm scheduling the Cape Henlopen Rally for the weekend of September 17/18. That is because of other events that conflict on the weekends of Sept 24/25 and October 8/9. So we'll be up against Delmarva bike week. Traffic will likely be bad on Sunday, but not as bad as when NASCAR is at Dover on October 1/2.

Yimmie, since you'll be in that neck of the woods that weekend, stop by!

Well you know Jay & Bonnie will be there!! This is a great rally at a great location!! Last year we rode to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Great restaurants like that Irish Pub!! The Saturday night party at the motel is always a blast!! These days my only problem is which bikes to bring.

Well Jay, if it'll fit in your van you'll have to bring that new Worksman tandem! It should be finished by then, right?
I hope to bring three bikes, the Whizzer, the EZ and the '78 Puch moped I just got.

The tandem should be done by spring

Great! I'm looking forward to seeing it at your rally in August, if I don't see it beforehand.

Rally Shirts!

Here is the design for this year's rally t-shirt. This year's shirt will be grey, and the printing will be on both sides. Once I establish pricing from the printer, I'll start taking orders. Right now the ballpark figure is around $25 for sizes S through XL, and XXL is $5 more. The price is a bit higher than last year's shirts because they are two-sided.
The front has an image of a vintage Whizzer with "Participant *" as the text above, and "4th Annual Cape Henlopen Motorized Bike Rally" as the text below. The back has the slow moving vehicle triangle as the image (okay, I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek there) with "* Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult" as the text.

Shirt design looks great!
I hope to make your rally this year to close out the season.
