Casper Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 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.

Casper Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 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.
