The Sixth Annual North Carolina High Country Cruise:
Twistin' 6

August 28th thru September 1st, Labor Day Weekend, the last run of Summer...

Well, it's still a cold/snowy winter but it's time to start making plans and setting up your calendars for the events that you plan to attend this year. We have been working hard on setting this up, and there is still more to be done, but it is now time to announce the Sixth Annual North Carolina High Country Cruise - Twistin' 6.

For those of you who haven't joined us in the past, The High Country encompasses the West Jefferson, Boone/Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk areas of North Carolina, out to Mountain City, Tennessee, and down to Asheville, North Carolina. This area has some great views, some great drives, and some of the best twisties anywhere…  There are lots of attractions and things to do in this area.

We have 3 great runs set up again for this year. The main run this year will be on Saturday, as usual, and is and old favorite T2TR3. Twisting to the River and the Railroad...

The second run will be on Sunday and will be a new run with lunch still to be determined.

We will also still do a lunch run on Friday which is also still in the works.

There are also some ideas of other events and entertainment in the mix this year for later after the runs but this is all preliminary and still in the planning phase at this time.

Come on and join the fun... Great Rides, Great Views, Lots to see and do, and of course Great People... So Come on, Join us... 

We will back at our old favorite Motel the Best Western Mountain Lodge at Banner Elk, so we have the wash pit and Tiki Bar  back to use, and all runs will begin and end at the motel...

The nights included are: Thursday August 28th, thru the 31st and September 1st 2014 at the rate of $69 per room Thursday and Sunday, and $129 per room Friday and Saturday, not including tax. Rates went up everywhere this year, unfortunately. The block of rooms will work as follows:

The block is set up under the name High Country Cruise. Each guest will be able to call the hotel directly at either 877-877-4553 or 828-898-4571 and mention the group name High Country Cruise to book a room. After mentioning the group name High Country Cruise, each guest will be reserved into this block of rooms at the discounted rate. Each guest will be able to make their own room accommodations, hold with their own credit card, and be responsible for their own changes and/or cancellations to their reservations. Each guest can also make any special requests at this time, such as room view, or floor preference and Pet Friendly rooms,(please keep in mind it is only a request). Most of us usually get poolside rooms so if you want a poolside room remember to request it. There are poolside rooms and downstairs, outside entrance parking lot rooms, so book accordingly. Both Full and Queen size rooms are available at this time.

30 days prior to the weekend of our event - in this case July 28th, 2014, any rooms in our block that have not been reserved by High Country Cruise participants will be released into our general inventory to be sold. If someone after this date still needs accommodations, they can call the hotel, mention the group name High Country Cruise and IF a room is still available, reserve it with the group High Country Cruise and be eligible for the discount. The room within the 30 days prior to the weekend will not be specifically held only for our group.

Again, the numbers for guests to call for reservations are:
877-877-4553 or 828-898-4571 and the group name is High Country Cruise.

A wash pit is available with a hose, bucket.
You may want to bring your own stuff like soap, rags, towels and detail sprays etc.
