Noticed that the Thunder in the Smokies rally is the weekend before. Thank goodness we don't have to slow down and have to watch out for those pokey-ass posers.
It looks like the Asheville Bikefest, however, is the same weekend. They shouldn't be a problem.
I would say thunder over the Smokies change the date to try to save their self did not have much of a crowd, Asheville I understand was a whole lot bigger show.
