Lone_RT_rider Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Matt and I are proud to present the Blue Ridge Rendezvous in Maggie Valley!!!! October 1st – 3rd, 2010 It’s time once again to announce our annual fall BMWST.com get together. We were planning on going back to Dillsboro again for the fall, but a glitch in the hotel reservation system as they were re-establishing their Holiday Inn express franchise has put us in an awkward situation. They HIE reservation system was still taking reservations even though the Dillsboro Inn had blocked the rooms we needed. So, rather than upset their new owners, the staff decided to honor the HIE reservations rather than our room block. This put us in a situation of having to scramble to find something. The Maggie Valley Inn has graciously set us up with a block of rooms to cover us at the 11th hour. So, here we go! Location: Maggie Valley, NC Lodging: Maggie Valley Inn. http://www.maggievalleyhotel.com/hotel-overview.html If you call between 8am and 4pm there is a much better chance that you will be able to speak to someone that knows how to take care of group reservations. Also make sure you tell them you are with BMWSportTouring.com so that there won't be any confusion on the group rate. 70 Soco Road Maggie Valley, NC 28751 (866) 926-0201 Standard Two double beds is $80.00/night plus tax.. Make sure you specify if you will be arriving Wednesday, Thursday or Friday night. You are responsible for making your own reservations. Meals: Breakfasts: The Mitch Patrie honorary Complimentary Continental breakfast at the hotel. Remember…it's complimentary! The Friday evening cookout: We are still discussing if we will be doing the brat grilling or raffling off some “Adult Beverages”. More details to come. Saturday Group Dinner: We will have 1 group meal Saturday evening. This will be at the hotel in our own private dining area at approximately 21 dollars. Look for plans for this dinner to evolve as we go. As always, we will be doing pay ahead with Pay-Pal for the dinner. Beverages: There is a lounge in this hotel and of course the wonderful Tiki Hut will be at our disposal in the Pool area! Attractions: The routes and roads in this area are well known and very famous. The Wheels through time Museum is a couple of miles up the road and of course the scenery in the area is second to none. There are also a lot of pretty cool things to see within an easy ride of the hotel. There are plenty of state and national parks with some work renowned hiking trails, waterfalls and wildlife observation areas nearby. Matt and I are really looking forward to seeing all of you there! So let's hear it, who's IN? Link to comment

Matts_12GS Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm hoping. I haven't done any dirty riding up there. I wonder if I can find a set of K60s for GS so I only have to take one bike up there... Link to comment
