Maggie Valley

TwoBye · Mar 22, 2015

I just registered for the Trike Talk rally in the valley at Maggie Valley this September, 2015. Got my room and I'm all set to go. Will be attending by myself as the better half can't get time off in September. Should be fun.

Yep and I suspect yours will be also! Gotta leave a day early (Thursday) as I have a commitment for Friday. Still should be a great time. Here's hoping anyway.

We always have a good time riding the MV area.

Wish we could get there. I have a business conference that week. Much closer to SC than Eureka Springs. Guess we will have to plan to get there next year.

Well that's not good! Wish you could make the trip, probably be a lot of members there to get to see rather than just type to.

Just checked, 420 miles from my doorstep to the host hotel. No hill for a climber. :laugh: Hey, anybody else from Ohio going down on the 6th or 7th? My room reservation doesn't start until the 7th but I'm sure I can figure something out if need be. Let me know.

See you there.

OK, wife's been reading up on Maggie Valley since I booked my trip in September and now she thinks she "might" be able to get away.

Although she really doesn't like riding in the mountains she still may try and attend. She is absolutely petrified of heights. I have riden the Parkway before without her and it looks like it may well happen again if she can find something to do during the day.

Bring her, small gift shops, ice cream/candy shops, Restaurants all within a short walking distance. Will be others to socialize with during the day as I doubt all will ride every day. She may like it enough to go on a ride thru the scenic mountains, as long as you keep off the overlook stop offs.

Great! I am working on the wife to try and convince her to go also. She loves the ride, just not the heights so much. I have already called the host hotel and changed my arrival date to the sixth also so if I do get to ride down with you guys I won't be without a room.

Will see you all there. I am also popping into the Wingding first then onto Maggie Valley but I will be on 4 wheels instead of 3.

But hoping to rekindle some friendships from a few years ago

HELLO Wolf, bet you can get a trike ride while your there.

Ret1SG · Apr 10, 2015

Just registered the wife and I, this will be our first rally, and first trip to Maggie Valley. Looking forward to the trip and meeting new Trike riders.

Just a note here about your reservations for Maggie Valley. I called the other day to confirm and to change my starting date from the 7th to the 6th. No problem so far but when I talked to them they told me they had a problem with the reservation system and I had showed up with reserving 4 rooms. They fixed it, no worry and they also changed my start date just fine (good folks to talk to).

It might be a good idea to just "check in" to make sure your reservation is correct.

Michael just called from our host hotel Best Western and said they have less than 10 rooms available now. If you want to stay at the host hotel, you better make the call soon. Be sure to tell them you are with Trike Talk or they will tell you they are sold out. We have the entire hotel booked and the rates are really good.

The number is 828-926-3962

The hotel and staff are excellent and they wanted us back so they cut us a very good deal. We had the gathering there several years in a row and it is a nice setup, they even rented a giant tent for us to host our cookout the last time we were there. That time we filled up both their hotels, the Best Western and the Microtel which is right next door. They also own the Ramada Inn. The owners do a really nice job with their properties, yall will be pleased.
