Planning is underway for the Annual Get Together for 2019.
Dates are Sept 21-28, 2019.
Location is Sylva NC (near Maggie Valley and Blue Ridge Parkway).
Base hotel is Comfort Inn Sylva.
It's very early for ride planning, etc. Just wanted to give any interested people info to flag calendars.
Also if you have not received an email from me about this rally in recent days and wish to be on my list you can PM me your email address.

My dad and I always play golf in Santee SC the following week. I could ship my clubs, ride the bike, enjoy the get together, go farther south, golf, ship my clubs home, then ride home.. Hmmm.....

Personally; I think it would be great to have both groups at the same time & same place. Get to meet new folks.

It's not uncommon for the rides to get split up, to accommodate different ride speeds, distant tolerance & so on.

And as stated before,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, sooooooooooooooo many greeeeeaaaaat roads & rides.

Just my 2 cents. :grin2:

Just a bump and an update on the AGT Rally in Sept 2019. Above is the original post with dates and location info. Since then our friend SweetLu has posted that he will join this event with his annual OctoVRfest group. We welcome this group and any other riders wishing to meet and ride with a great bunch of folks. If you are not currently on the email list for this rally and wish to be please PM me with contact info and I'll be sure to keep you posted.

Talked with a couple of friends of mine today (we are in a group call We Ride North Carolina) who I've ridden with before up in NC/Tenn area. They have some great trips mapped out near the Sylva area that they will send to me and might even be willing to lead a couple of the rides as well. That would be cool. I thought we could have one day for the Dragon even though most has run it (I have several times), parts of the Parkway should be included. There are several really cool waterfalls nearby within a short walk from parking, the Hellbender or Tail of the Dragon, Shiners Run (northwest of Asheville), several great rides east of Asheville, the Rattler and Devil's Whip. So many to choose from, some I've done but some I haven't and I'm usually by myself. The Skyway is kinda farther out but still a contender. My friends also know great little backwoods places to eat so their input would be invaluable in multiple ways. I plan to keep in touch with them and add rides to my Rever app. I will also probably run up there in the spring and or summer (both....lol) to check out rides and ride with them. Let me know if anyone has any special places you want to visit like strip joints, biker bars or museums. Blowing Rock is northeast of Asheville but I was disappointed (just a cliff with beautiful views....maybe I went on a slow day). Let me know. Starting to plan early cause I may not have anymore surgeries and my wife will make me go back to work.

Interesting list, I've probably ridden +80% of those listed either in whole or in part. Some are absolutely great others good for a nice winter ride when its not feasible to head to the mountains from the Raleigh area. You can put some very nice loops together from the Sylva area depending on just how much riding per day your interested in doing.

All right! I'm in!

I'll be heading down after work on the 20th and probably staying in Beckley WVa. Riding to Sylva on Saturday morning. I'm staying sat, sun and heading to Santee on Monday afternoon to meet my dad at the villa in Santee.

Dad is transporting my clubs too. This is going to be great!

I have not booked yet. I have a bunch of stay points for Holiday inn and I may burn them for this trip. But I have to figure out where my dad is planning to stay as I usually use my points for him as well. Stay tuned.

John,

I was planning to leave Saturday and ride back roads south of Beckley and shoot for Johnson City. Then another day of twistys and arrive in Sylvia on Sunday around check in time.

I can change up my plans if you want to ride together.

We can discuss in Grove City if you’re going.

Hey Steve, Yes. Alisa and I will be at GC. We can sync up there and discuss. I have a room booked in Princeton for Friday night, so we can plan what to do from there.

We have decided to vacation closer to the home state & play w/ our new toys; therefore missing this years AGT. We will miss everyone, but know you'll have a wonderful time anyway. Be safe.
