BBXV Location:

La Vale is located at 39°39′17″N 78°48′46″W,[2] in the shadow of Haystack Mountain. To the east is Cumberland and the very scenic Narrows, a water gap between Haystack Mountain to the south and Wills Mountain to the north. To the west is Piney Mountain and Frostburg. La Vale is on the Old National Pike (US 40). La Vale is a business center that contains the largest concentration of retail and the only indoor shopping mall, Country Club Mall, in the Cumberland Metro area. This location will serve us well for the 2018 Bash as it is easy on/easy off from Interstate 68/US 40.

If you go to Google maps, check out all the services and restaurants along the strip aka ALT US 40.

The Maryland panhandle does offer some unique opportunities to take day rides into neighboring Pennsylvania and West Virginia. More on that later.

Nice work Doc

Looking forward to it. Thanks Doc.

I’m in! Will have to leave Saturday but I’ll make for that by coming Thursday! I’ll make reservations this week.

Thanks Doc!

I have a reservation for May 17-19. I'm looking forward to it!

Thanks for setting up this years bash. Don't know if my schedule will work out for this year. TBD. Looks like it's a good area to ride. How close is a Dairy Queen?

Only 0.7 miles down the strip. A 15 minute walk or 2 minute ride.

Doc,
Huge thanks for setting this up. Sorry I was not any help. My inception into owning the company is taking all of my time and more. I will be there though. Making reservation tomorrow.

There are many services and eateries in LaVale which provide an ideal base of operations for the Bash. Let's be ready for next month.

I have wanted to see the Flight 93 Memorial. Didn't realize we would be so close. Thanks for posting all the links.

Doc,
Don’t forget The Poky Dot...home of the humungous banana split in Fairmont WV. It’s only about 80 miles away.

Gents - I'm looking into coming in Friday and leaving Saturday night after dinner.

Yong - we will barely overlap, since I have to leave early Saturday morning but look forward to seeing you!
