I'll try and answer a few common questions:

1. Folks will be arriving mostly on Thursday (12th) & Friday (13th). Most will depart Sunday morning.

2. If camping, no reservations are required. I would ask that you post your intentions in this thread so we can get a fair count for meals.

3. Wifes, girlfriends & kids welcome. Although there isn't a lot for them to do if not riding.

Great Smokey Montain Railroad

City of Cherokee

4. All bikes are welcome, even Harley's & Beemer's. ;)

5. Most group rides will be on Friday & Saturday. Keep checking the end of this post for GPS routes. Some route maps will be available at the lodge.

6. Breakfast & Dinners are served at Ironhorse (good stuff). Lunch your on your own unless prior arrangements are made.

7. Dry county, so bring your own if so inclined. Ice & coolers available for a small fee. Closest available is Bryson City, about 17 miles.

8. Coffee is available around 7AM. Iced Tea & coffee in the evenings after dinner.

9. Kickstands up around 9AM for Friday & Saturday rides. Ride meeting Thursday & Friday nights around 8:30.

10. There are other motels & campgrounds in the area if you procrastinate too long.

11. I am not planing any tech sessions. But I will have my Yosh or Teka Box with for evening tuning sessions on Thu - Sat.

12. There will be rain. ;)

i suspect the organizers dont have the best interest of the motorcyclist first in mind. but rather, how to make money for the lodge. if true, i think that is wrong and goes against the biker's creed.

however, i do plan on going this year. not staying at iron horse. i reserving motel room in robbinsville.

If I go this year, I'll be staying in Robbinsville or Maryville.

do five 60-year old women and Ben really constitute a "get-together"?

:lol:

I bet you're not even tall enough to stand over my bike. :lol:

I saw you putting that step stool into one of your bags last year ;)

Where do you guys stay at while in maryville tn. ?

I think it's the Country Inn and Suites. It's across the street from the airport. (Alcoa or Maryville, I forget). I don't think Eric is going now. He has too many trips planned.
