    Default October 2020 Maggie Valley Rally?

    Any opinions out there if this will happen? Seems by then this mess will be done, but then there's the fall out, economy, all that. I would surely like to attend if it happens, it would be my first.

    Yes the Rally is happening. We run the Rally and expect a large turn out. Please register on-line (it's free), so we can get an idea of how many. We do have to have a certain number for us to be able to justify paying for the location.
    Thanks,

    Anyone have an update on Maggie Valley rally? I have lodging reserved, but no updates noted on the Spyder Adventures website. Sure hope it’s still on!

    No update on the site. But we have reservations for 10/7-11. We will be there regardless. Last year we had a cabin near Boone and only rode down for 1 day. But this year we have a cabin in Maggie Valley and will be riding Thursday through Saturday. We use Wednesday and Sunday as our travel days.

    We have no reservations about going, but we DO have reservations (for lodging) once we are there.

    We have a cabin rented in/near Maggie Valley, will be there early and might stay late, just to take it all in.

    The ride to Granny's has been put on hold. They were only doing take out. They told us to wait until End of Sept. or first of Oct. to give them a call to see if you can do it. When you register that automatically gets you the tickets for door prizes. WE are not sure how the rides are going to be handled. We only have 1 person who is willing to do the. We are not sure how he going to work that. We have to talk to him and will update that info. later.

    I like your optimism thinking the mess will be done !!!!! Upstate South Carolina just canceled their Rally for the second time, originally scheduled for May, then moved to end of August, now cancelled again... I hope you are right, sadly it might be continuing for sometime .......

    Yeah, I know biker, trying to find something to be optimistic about these days is very difficult. So I registered just for grins, if it happens, I hope I'm there. I am so sick and tired of this crazy business.

    Interesting. Might need an October trip. I met a local last week who mentioned a Rally but I didn't catch exactly where it was.

    I was in Maggie Valley 2 weeks ago. Things were a little slower than normal, but still great. More social distancing than normal, but that is why I go to the mountains, to get away from it all. I am actually heading to the area again next week (staying in Pigeon Forge) with the wife and kids. We are also meeting my sister and brother in law from Cleveland, Tenn. I am sure things will be different there, and in Gatlinburg, because it is normally crowded there. But we always have tried to avoid the crowds. My wife always wipes everything down and is kinda my own version of the mask police. So we should be fine. Looking forward to October.

    Would be nice if the Rally schedulers would chime in here and let us know. I've not made resv for lack of current info. Additionally, would like to know which vendors, if any, are planning to be there.

    Thanks. We'll be staying at the Maggie Valley Inn and Conference Center.

    Two days down and two days back up.
    I hope to spend a little time at the Dragon, but not sure yet.

    We have reservations for Monday the 5th thru Sunday . We've been to this one for the past 4 years and love the area for riding. No matter which direction you go, you'll find great roads. This is the one week I look forward to spending my vacation time playing in the twisties. As long as the hotels are open and we can find places to eat we'll be there.

    Hope to see alot of friends there (new and old).

    We are booked at the Holiday Motel from the 5th to the 12th. Even if the rally is a no go we will probably go just for the riding in the area. We have already stayed there in July and like previously mentioned things are a bit slower pace, but still up and running. We do the mask/sanitizer/social distance stuff and no better social distancing than riding in the mountains.

    Also have one in Deland FL to support the Road Warriors. That's is October 29 through 31 I believe. As of today, it is on with some pretty good vendors.
