    kickstand lodge (ksl)

    ok gang, mo@kickstandlodge.com is taking reservations. here's her response after i emailed her: Hell Yah Bill!!!!!! I already have several events booked for the 2010 season. I've penciled you in for that first week of June.......
    Let me know what the dates are for sure and where you want to sleep.......They can start making their res. anytime,
    I've been in & out so alittle slow on the emails & phone calls but have no fear MO'S Here! How many do ya reckon? I'll be cooking dinner
    everyone is welcome and I'd love to meet your VFR friends.
    Thanks to you & Suzy for the wooden motorbike it is awesome!! Can Suzy make the June event?
    Happy Holidays.....................Love, MO

    i'm gonna email her back and reserve the bunk house so we at least have 5 mattresses for us (btw, i DON'T snore).
    for those of you who have never stayed at the ksl, you'll love mo and the other folks that stay there. there is however, the iron horse down the road (hwy 28). it's a nice place if you like biased harley riders as company :noidea: actually i don't know this for fact, just stuff i hear from those that have stayed there and have seen the light and now stay at the ksl. so reserve a spot (ksl) and see ya monday, 5/31/10 :thumbsup:!

    incidentally, i hope y'all don't mind if my wife rides with us....problem is she rides a .....gulp.....triumph sprint st :crazy:.

    ksl in 2010

    howdy folks. i emailed mo from the ksl and told her to reserve the bunkhouse. it seems that we already have at least 4-5 seriously interested members (excluding my wife and me) so y'all could have the whole bunkhouse. the bunkhouse has electricity and is conveniently located next to the john/hot showers. for you hardcore camping types, there are tents already set up as well as plenty of tent sites and even rv sites. the primitive cabins (as mentioned previously) have a double bed, a few hooks and a small turn-around space. they are cozy and private. there is also one room available with electricity, has a double bed and one set of bunk beds, so a couple of you could crash there. mo furnishes linens and towels for all campers. check the website for rates. meals are $5 for b'fast and $10 for dinner (all ya can eat). we're on our own for lunch.
    alas, it's a dry county :frown: so any sort of adult beverages will have to be picked up in bryson city (15 minutes away). no big deal!
    since i'm kinda/sorta planning this as well as leading 1-2 rides (no, we won't be riding thru the gap 5 times in a day), i'm gonna have a few prizes for the 4 days i'm there (5/31-6/3). you'll just have to show up and hope that you're one of the lucky winners :thumbsup:!
    btw, i'll be the b'fast chef so bring your pepto-bismol :biggrin:. wow, it looks like we now we have an event to look forward to! i'll post another thread in spring '10 to remind y'all and keep us updated.
    north ga riders, if you can't make the week commitment, you could at least think of a ride for one of the days.

    Hey guys,
    I've already said that I would attend, hopefully Anna (wife) as well.
    I know KickStand Lodge very well. Somehow I got left off the list.
    I will probably reserve one of the little 'houses' since I know some of you guys, and prefer to keep it at just 'platonic know'!! ;)

    Will be great to spend a few days racing around the mountains!
    Gary

    Now that I have the trailer, I'm sure any excuse to put the bike on it and get from NH to NC and be close to the wife's parents would not be too hard to talk into....

    Althought Wake Forest is about 7 hours away according to GPS and Google maps... Certainly better than the 16 hours highway from NH... Seems there is no good way to that area from Wake Forrest....

    Wait I take that back...there are a lot of good ways...just not a good short way....
