Like before, ordering of T-Shirts are separate and extra, and shipped directly to you..

Join us for 4+ days and nights of fun, brotherhood/sisterhood, BBQ, fireside socials, games, pool parties, and more. Make new and lasting friends, or catch up with old friends from Pow Wows past. Our host hotel (A Holiday Motel) is a favorite among bikers, in Maggie Valley, owned by great people who also ride. Rooms are inexpensive, an old school motor court motel, and has an outdoor pool, picnic tables, fire pit, and more. We'll have a large tent set up to provide shade from the sun or hide from the rain.

Nearby are legendary riding routes, including, Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, the Snake, the Rattler, the Moonshiner, the Diamondback, and a dozen others. We'll have organized rides for both advanced and novice skill sets. Each group will be limited to 10 people max, for comfort and safety. Multiple groups may go on same route to accommodate popular choices.

IMPORTANT NOTE: - For those who attended last year AND stayed at the Holiday

If you got put on list to reserve your room for this year you MUST register and then call hotel to reserve your room BEFORE FRIDAY. Hotel will then release remaining rooms to all other attendees who have registered. Also, you must register to receive an "authorization code" to use when reserving your motel room (that is for everyone).

So far I have 40 folks registered - that is 40% of our sell-out limit. Act soon. Event registration is cancelable up to May 1st. Motel up to June 10th.

 

Those who signed up last year for a room this year were notified, several times, to register. Today I arranged for all remaining rooms to be released for those who registered. So if you are on waiting list, you should g et a call from Rob soon.

All rooms are still blocked for our event (the whole motel). Any remaining blocked rooms will be released in early May. Last year we sold out the motel entirely. I expect the same this year.

So register now!

 

CONGRATS to our host-hotel owner!
