They are holding all rooms & cabins for us until the end of February, so make your own reservations ASAP. 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.
Great Smokey Montain Railroad
City of Cherokee
4. All bikes are welcome, even Harley's.
5. Most group rides will be on Friday & Saturday. GPS routes will be posted down the road a peice. 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. Main meeting & door prizes Saturday Night around 8:30. I probably won't mess with sponsors/door prizes this time around.
11. There are other motels & campgrounds in the area if you procrastinate too long.
12. I am not planing any tech sessions, must ride, not work. I will have my Yosh Box with for evening tuning sessions on Thu - Sat.
13. This is the year for no rain.
Hope to see you all there.
