I am pretty familiar with the area, and will be taking a group out each day (thursday through saturday). I will try to post up something here each day. All area welcome to come along. I lead a couple of groups last year. We can do it however you want. Sight seeing, or turn and burn. Either way is fine with me. We will arrive on Wednesday from the Raleigh area, and i will be bringing 4-5 spyders and 1-2 two wheelers. We will be taking the long way there and probably try out the Diamondback, Devil's whip, and the BRP to get there. Possibly check out Mt. Mitchel also.I'm scheduled to attend the Spyder Adventures event in Maggie Valley in October. Attended last year. I understand that there's no sponsored rides going on. Is anyone interested in getting a group of riders together and ride as a group to enjoy the fantastic sites?

Great! Now, keep in mind that this is not an official guided tour ride. I am just someone who loves the area and welcome showing anyone the beauty that is in the NC/Tenn, Georgia, and SC mountains. We ride often and have mainly 2 rules. Leave no man (or woman) behind, and have a butt load of fun. Hope to see you there. We will be staying at the Hearth and Home Inn, right on Soco rd. Most days we will either meet up and/or leave from the local Bojangles. More details to come.Perfect. Count us in.

:banghead::banghead: ... I'm arriving on Sunday to get some riding in ...... I'm Vendoring this year so I don't know when I'll be free ....

Being a newlywed rider here, can anyone tell me more about the Spyder Adventures at Maggie Valley event. When I went and googled Maggie Valley Rally, I found a website that doesn't mention any Spyder events, but lots of others.
Being that I'm from WAAAAAYY up north in MN (not really that up north myself, but you get the idea), I can't attend this year as we're having a family reunion that weekend, but I could plan for future years...<G>
Is this like a Spider Fest, Spin, Rendezvous event or a Spyder's in the Ozarks like event? (All the Spyder specific events we've made this year as a reference).
Pm replied.I will be arriving on Wednesday evening with three ladies from the Buckeye state. None of us have driven bikes in Maggie Valley, on rode on her husband's rear seat once and I drove the Dragon in a car once, that was interesting.
I would sure like to join your party if we could. Will you be starting from your hotel? Time for KSU?

What time do your rides usually leave?Great! Now, keep in mind that this is not an official guided tour ride.

We don't have an absolute schedule. Typically we like to leave around 8, and no later than 9. Weather such as fog and possible rain will determine that. Either on Friday or Saturday, I will be leaving later, so that I will be able to go over and check out the vendors and see what there is to offer. But I will be riding everyday.What time do your rides usually leave?

IMHO I'd skip the Dragon - to many idiots and the Police love the Dragon ...they usually bring a couple of Ticket / Citation Books when they start their shift :yikes: :banghead: ........... and the Rattler is much better imho ..... Mike ....see you there :yes::yes::yes:I am working this weekend in order to finish up some projects and prepare to be off and at the Maggie Valley Rally. This will make my 3rd visit to the area in the past 4 weekshyea:. I am hoping the weather is going to be great, but I should be riding somewhere each day.
My question is, what routes and views are most interested in seeing? We will get there on Wednesday afternoon and plan on riding out somewhere between 8-9 Thursday through Saturday.
Friday I am thinking about reserving for a trip to ride the Dragon and Cherohola Skyway. This, along with other little roads along the way will probably be a full day. My reason for choosing Friday is so that we can possibly avoid the sport bike crowds that tend to be there each Saturday.
That leaves Thursday and Saturday for whatever roads you would like to take. I have a plan for other rides, but if anyone else has a requested area to ride in, please post up. I will be finalizing everything each evening and posting on this site. Anyone is free to come along.
Again, this is not a sponsored ride, just someone who loves the area, loves to ride, and would love to show the beautiful area to others.
See you there.
