Important News: 2007 G-rally Site Announcement   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #18748 of 35270 |
2007 is upon us and it's time to talk rally! Last month we announced
the 2007 G-rally dates (May 31 thru June 3) and now it's time to
announce the rally site. This year's Spring rally will be held at
the Station's Inn Motorcycle Resort located in Laurel Springs,NC on
NC Hyw 18 at the intersection with the Blue Ridge Parkway (at
milepost 248). The Inn is in beautiful Alleghany County,NC close to
the VA and TN borders and is in the center of some of the best
motorcycle roads in the USA.

Station's Inn itself is a very cool and charismatic 1950's era motor
lodge with the main building housing a 17 room motel (7 first floor
rooms and 10 second floor rooms), a nice restaurant with a bar (15
kinds of beer available!) and a country store stocked with all kinds
of biker supplies. A 13 room (all first floor) addition is being
completed across the street next to a large paved parking area and
is about 200 feet from the main bldg. All the rooms have 2 double
beds, a TV and have heating/air cond and are extremely clean. The
2007 rates which include all taxes and fees are $65/Thurs and
$75/Fri & Sat for 2 riders per room. Additional guests are $10/nite
per guest. Further upgrades are also being planned such as a
campground and increased outside dining area.

Michael Schweitzer, the owner and a fellow biker, has agreed to hold
all 30 rooms for our G-men group. To reserve a room, call their toll
free number (1-877-528-7356), tell them you are with the G-men and
use a credit card to hold your room. Your credit card sill not be
charged until you check out. Any rooms not reserved and held with a
credit card by April 30 will be released to the general public.
Reserved rooms can be cancelled by May 19 without a penalty.

We rode down to the Station's Inn in late Dec to personally check it
out and came away VERY impressed with the facility and the owner
(and so will you!). Their website is currently being revised for all
the changes being made, but you can check out their 2006 website at:
http://www.stationsinn.com

Stay tuned for further details and see ya'll at the rally!
