Cherokee Survivors Rally, Cherokee, NC April 22 - 25, 2010
Rumble In The Hills, Pigeon Forge, TN April 29 - May 2
Hogfest of Tennessee and Thunder On The Rock, both are the same weekend near Monteagle, TN, May 27 - 30
Rally At The Strip, Newport, TN June 3 - 6
June Bug Boogie, Cookeville, TN June 17 - 20
Most of these have their own websites that you can google. Thunder on the Rock and June Bug Boogie are further away from the Tail of the Dragon (maybe 75 - 100 miles). However, June Bug is by far one of the best partys around. We have been to the Cherokee Rally before and it is a lot of fun. Cherokee is just on the other side of the Smoky Mtn Natl Park and all of the roads I listed earlier are pretty close. Rumble in the Hills is new this year but it is close to a lot of activities. Let me know what you all think.

The "War Dept" teaches school, so for a long distance like that for us it needs to be after school is out for the summer. If it is, we're in. You call, we haul. If I can't truck it f*** it.

Looks like Hog Rock just across the boarder in Ill. is 6/10-6/13,and Little Sturgis 7/15-7/18 in Ky. Just putting that out there!Also Mammoth Cave Natl. Park sounds like a cool place to visit:-)

Hog Rock is a huge party. It would also be about 300 or more miles closer for our friends that would be coming from out west.

I think it is a great idia. I know I can't do it this year but I think it would be a great time for all.

Sounds good to me anywhere in the 600 mile one way range (Times and issue). Anytime in mid June to mid July is my best shot while schools out. LMK what ya come up with and I can make if in these ranges....Look forward to meeting and rideing with you who can make it.

That sounds great maybe On my way down from RI I can meet someone else to travel with.

Hell, I might even try to make it out if you get it together. We do have the NE Meet & Greet the first weekend in June, the Redwood Run on the 2nd weekend in June... that's probably the biggest CycleFish gathering as of now, and of course Sturgis in August, which we are hoping to have a big CycleFish Meet & Greet at.
p.s. - gonna move this post to the Meet & Greet category...

Hell I'm in.

I might try to make it. I'll keep an eye on the topic and see what comes togeather.

We for sure are going to Sturgis but if the timing is right we will sure try and make it. Sounds like a great party! Getting out of Montana in early to mid June can be a bit iffy

Since it is the farthest from CA, how about having it close to the Sturgus run so that it may be possible to do both.. how fun!!
