I agree that one big event is the best idea as although it might seem fairer or more convenient to have north and south meets the reality (I suggest) is that the whole thing will be diluted and nowhere near as much fun.
Regional groups do have their own regular meets and the idea of the Annual Ride-out is to bring everyone together as one big family.
I think extending the event to a whole weekend with a far larger social scene is by far the best choice. However the ride should certainly be a major part of it otherwise it would seem somewhat strange to have the AR without getting on our bikes and actually riding them!.
I'm certainly up for a Fri/Sat/Sun long weekend.
