Ok, we are trying to set up a BBQ and see how it goes.

Make any suggestions you have as for the day, time, place, food to bring, how to execute etc etc.

---------------------------
Saturdays around 3 pm works, so the people that work on Saturday can also come. Sundays turn out to be best days for riding, at least to my view.

I can bring a gas grill (will need someone with a pickup truck to help me transport the grill) and I can cook the steaks/ribs/corn/potatoes/veggies on that grill.

Sam's has some very nice ribs for BBQ. A pack of 3 rib sides is about $25 and it can feed about 8 people.
I think the best way to do this is to see how many we have coming and ask each person a fixed amount, like $10. Then have 2 people be in charge of buying the food.

I recommend somewhere in City park or lakefront or the fly (we may have to reserve one the shelters etc etc), but it does not have to be in the metro area too.

so, what is your 2 cents?

I think this is a great idea, Renee. I have a truck and a kick ass weber charcoal grill i can bring if needed. Also can help with cooking duties. I also have two folding tables and about 8 chairs i could bring if needed.

Unfortunately the weekends of July 20-21 and 27-28 are already planned for me. Anytime before or after would be fine. How about this weekend?

We are going to need some sides like potato salad, chips and dip and watermelon. As far as location anywhere there is room for bikes to line up would be great. Shade and a breeze would be great too.

After that I could come and would be happy to help set up and bring something.

True, but a weeks notice seems to work out fine for the group most of the time. We are generally a flexible bunch, lol

Thought the idea was to get as many as we could together. I see the amount of people in the group but I think 30 and under is around what you get at anyone event. Was thinking this event would be something you might want to get as many as possible. That takes planning and notice. Of course things will work out anyway its done.

and that's how I see it!!!!!

Totally agree. Only a small fraction of the riders are on the forum and GroupMe. In the least, a weeks notice would be most ideal.
