I did this last year and had a Great Time.
If you are able to make it I am sure you will enjoy yourself as well.
The Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley is Definately a place to visit as well.
It was a blast Last Year and going to be even better this year. Come join the fun.
I have been looking forward to this since last years! Its going to be the party of 2010 plus it has some of the BEST riding roads and even has white water rafting. The only problem is it isn’t long enough to get everything in. It needs to be 2 weeks long!
I had a blast there last year. Am looking forward to seeing it gain. Hopefully I can stay longer this time.
