Bike Rally in Fontana, NC

[Dubsvalk]

A friend and I have set up a Bike Rally at the Fontana Village Resort in July.  We have rooms blocked from July 7th thru July 10th, arriving on Monday and leaving the 10th.  The address is 300 Woods Rd., Fontana Dam, NC 28733.  Phone # is 1-800-849-2258.  Special room rate is $89.00 per night.  You must tell them you are attending the NASSIR 7 Bike Rally.  Fontana is minutes away from The Dragon, The Cherohala Skyway, Foothills Parkway and the Moonshiner's 28 Hwy.  Not to mention Cherokee, NC and the Blueridge Parkway.  We are doing this ride during the week because the Dragon is so crowded and dangerous on weekends.  Fontana Village will honor the special rates from July 6th thru July 10th for those who want a longer stay.  Approximately 60 bikes are already scheduled so this is going to be a very large gathering of Goldwing and Valkyrie riders.
Please let me know if you register by emailing me at bwatkins@stowerscat.com.

Do you know the backroad route from Fontana to Tellico Lodge on 129?

I can't say that I have ridden it Britman.
