Where: Ironhorse Motorcycle Lodge, Stecoah, NC.

Right now the rooms are mostly all available. However I would recommend making your own reservations ASAP (Phone: 828-479-3864). Tell them your with the VStrom group.

I'll try and answer a few common questions:
1. Folks will be arriving mostly on Thursday (13th) & Friday (14th). 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.

5. Most group rides will be on Friday & Saturday. Some route maps will be available at the lodge.
