2023 Maggie Valley Beat the Heat Scooter Rally

[klaviator]

This will be the 5th annual Beat the Heat event.

The date for this year's event is Sunday July 30 through Friday August 4th.

The motel will be the same as last year: AHoliday Motel: https://holidaymotel.net/

The motel number is: 828-686-4386.

There is no special discount but if you stayed last year they have all your information so it's a simple reservation. Rooms are $89 for 2 twins or one king, $99 for 2 queens and $129 for 3 queens in 2 rooms.

As in past years it is an informal event with no registration, fees or rules. It is a scooter event but motorcycles are welcome. There are no restrictions on type or size of bike but I do not recommend less than 125cc.

I expect most people coming will have been to one of the previous events but if not my ride report from last year should give you an idea what it's all about: https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/...the-rocket-city.647784/page-339#post-45503507

Please let me know if you are coming as well as what bike you expect to ride so so I can make a list of attendees.

[Chuck & Susan]

Room Booked.

Now that we have a scooter in the family We are going to attend this. And the plan will be to bring both bikes.

Susan ridding her Honda Reflex 250cc

Chuck on a Goldwing 1800cc

If for some reason Susan is unable to make the trip (work crap) then Chuck will just bring her scooter.

Thanks Klavinator For posting!!

Looking forward to seeing you there.  This event has been the highlight of my riding year for the last four years and I'm sure this year will be the same.  The riding in that area is amazing!  We have had a great group of people there as well.
