Bump
I am bringing this to the attention of all, and just to be sure...it's a British bike rally...so if you have a BSA, Norton, AJS, Matchless, etc...ride it in trailer it in, but bring it. Hopefully
@VABird will update on accomodations, but I understand that all will meet Peaks of Otter Lodge, and KSU at 1000am both days. Last year there were all Triumphs, we were all HInckleys, but we got to see 3 Meriden bikes at Mabry Mill, and we easily outnumbered Harley's on the parkway that day. We crossed up with
@Joesmoe and others at Mabry Mill too as they pursued Mayberry Days...Joe you'll have to join us this time!
ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE!

This is some of the best riding east of the Mississippi River; curvy, hilly roads, mostly smooth. Don't miss it!!
The ride may be fun, but in the Great Scheme of things, it really is about the destination! John 3:16
