See information below from Jim Randall's post:
Etowah TN dual sport in March? and Fool's Run
Galen and I have made an executive decision to postpone the Etowah Adventure weekend until the March 30 - April 1 backup date. Several people need to make vacation / travel plans and waiting another week to decide makes that a little tight for them. And, while the weather might be OK the first weekend of March, it's just a little too iffy with the volatile weather patterns we have right now.
Since the first weekend in April is traditionally when Fool's Run has been held and Galen is the organizer for that non-event, we've decided to combine the two gatherings this year at Etowah, TN. Many of us will be dual sport riding, of course, but as most know the street riding in the Etowah/Tellico Plains area ain't half bad with some excellent paved roads such as Cherohala Skyway, TN68, NC28 and US129 (Deal's Gap) within easy reach of our lodging at Etowah.
The Red Roof Inn in Etowah is offering us a slightly discounted rate from the normal $59.99. But, you'll have to call them directly to get the discounted rate (i.e. you can't use the website or toll-free number). The direct number there is: 423-781-7459 - Ask Pam for the MSTA discount
Our rate for 2 queen beds (specify smoking or non) is $53.99 + tax
FYI Cancellation policy is 6:00pm day of arrival
This is NOT an MSTA "event". There will be no registration, no meals provided, no maps nor door prizes - just some friends getting together to ride. However, there are GPS files of the DS routes already available in the members-only section. FWIW I plan to arrive by mid-day Thursday 3/29 and weather permitting will ride Thursday afternoon.
