OK - so in an effort to move things along and make life easier for a few of us with "with early planning" I made the call and decided to do the event at the "A Holiday Motel".

I just booked my room there...

Contact Robert or Gabbi for reservations, let them know you are with the CycleFish group and you will get the discounted rate.

They will be trying to keep our rooms next to each other for easier party time - lol

I am already looking forward to this!

thanx dan......im going to make my reservations this week....thats a nice place and its close to everything.....i can see me dipping my bag in the cement pond already....

Dan did I miss a date for the fall M&G?? I have to check college schedule and clinicals but I will raise H&H so we can be there.
So excited about this. BTW using your jerk recipe this coming weekend. I will make sure everyone knows where the recipe comes from.

Here's some of what I plan on doing while in Maggie...How about you?

Tail of the Dragon

The Tail of the Dragon is a great ride. I recommend a early morning ride. The traffic is gets really bad doing the afternoon, also the weekends are heavy as well, but check out the Devils Triangle, it will be a ride of your life, just becareful.

the site recomends before 11 or after 5 for the "low traffic time" - the triangle may be a bit much for some, depending on skill level but guess we can see how it goes and what the comfort level is. There is also the Moonshiner off the Dragon.

OK....I'll take the bait.  If you're having second thoughts....

Oh man I'm going to San Antonio for a wedding in Oct 7, can't afford to do both. Damn but making reservations for 2011 as soon as all decided! Maybe can have a beer with some you texans while we are there,won't have bikes this time but that does'nt normally stop me from drinking.LOL

   Couldn't resist.....

This is a must see in Maggie Valley.....if its still there I know they were having some issues with the powers to be in M.V. when I rode there in Sept. 07.  Lot of cool bikes at Wheels Through Time museum.....and they all run !!   jb
