BTW East Coast Trike-In

[PhilGilbert]

I hope everyone on the east coast is aware of this event. It is being held at Veterans Park in Mount Airy, NC for the first time in this area. There are a lot of Trike Talk members within an easy ride of this event and should make a good showing. See you there.

Here's info as cut and pasted from the BTW website:

East Coast Trike-In, Labor Day weekend, September 3rd, 4th and 5th!

The ECTI for 2010 will be in Mt. Airy, NC at the Veterans Memorial Park near the center of town! Mt. Airy was the original Mayberry for the Andy Griffith show and the town is proud of its Mayberry heritage!

The park has several building and sheltered areas, clean bathrooms and showers and special facilities for the handicapped. Onsite camping is $20 per night with electricity, $30 per night for full hookup, and $10 a night for Primitive camping. Contact Gary Willard 336-345-7388 or Garyatv@aol.com to reserve your camping spot.

There are some 15 motels in the area, here are the rates for a few of them. Do a Google

search, there are MANY motels in the Mt. Airy area!

Hampton Inn 336-789-5999 - $99 plus per night.

Quality Inn 336-368-2237 $72.99 + tax with 20% BTW discount.

Microtel 336-789-7660 - 79.99 and up+ tax.

There is a LARGE Flea Market in Mt. Airy on the same weekend, so rooms are going fast and prices are on the high side.

Get your reservations in early!

The Soaring Eagle Christian Bikers of Mt. Airy are familiar with the area and will help us put on a GREAT poker run. Their run should be a run everyone would love to go on and really enjoy!.

As usual, there will be a trike show, trike and people games, on-site food, vendors selling everything imaginable, various trike rides, a poker run, 50/50`s, raffles, and of course - lots of down to earth brother and sister trikers to help you enjoy the weekend!

The ECTi is known for its clean family fun! Bring the wife and kids and let them enjoy the world of trikes too!

There are LOTS of vendor space available, if you`d like to participate as a vendor at the ECTi, please contact Tim Nine. Trike builders are also invited to display their new trikes.

There is a giant Flea Market going on in the front part of the same park, so we expect LOTS of

people to attend the ECTi out of curiosity. The on-site flea market people will be exposed to the BTW and triking, and provide new clients for our vendors!

I am looking forward to seeing you at the 2010 ECTI, Tim Nine (nineon3@aol.com)

If I get a chance I may go Sat. or Sun. It is about an hour ride for me. Went to the one last year in Morganton and there were some really nice VW trikes. The more VW trikes I see the more I am liking them. Why they are like snow flakes, no two exactly alike! (I wonder about my mental state sometimes. LOL)

[gravy]

Your mental state is ok. I rarely see 2 of the same when it comes to home made VW trikes. I ride one and really enjoy it.

[Gorilla]

No we know George's mental state is in question. But in a good way.

[griley]

I think there are still some rooms around mount polit and kings just a few miles down 52 from mount Airy. and their rates are better too. Should be a good trike-in to make, lot of thing going on

[Boscoporp]

I think that We will ride up and spend the day between the flea market and the trike rally it should be a good day.

I would ask Thirdwheel if he wants to go with us but with his mental lapses I should wait until the day before I go!
