Where? FREEBORNES EATERY AND LODGE, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Laurel Springs, NC.


As of now the two cottages, suite and most rooms are available. CALL AND MAKE RESERVATIONS!!! Be sure and tell them you are with the RSWARRIOR group so they can sort of keep us together. I could not guarantee the owner how many people would show up so reservations are up to you. Don't wait til the last minute and miss out. This place fills up fast and we are lucky to basically have our pick now because we are planning early. Some groups call and book the entire hotel so CALL CALL CALL!!! DO it now!!! I have.

The suite rents for $175 a night, has two bedrooms, greatroom kitchen, two baths CATV, AC/Heat.


The rooms rent for $75 a night. Each has two double beds, bathroom, AC/Heat and CATV.


Cottage 1, has double beds, full bath, CATV, AC/Heat, sitting room. No kitchen and rents for $75 a night.


Cottage 2. is basically the same but with a double parking garage and rents for $125 a night.


Ten tent sites behind the motel are supposed to be available by spring. There is a campground (Woody's) right next door for tents/campers just in case.

Tent camping will be allowed at Freebornes. No reservation required. $15 per night, per person. A bath house is on site and available for your use.


This place looks great.

There's a restaurant on site, with 35 types of beer in the lounge,tiki bar outside and live bands playing every weekend. The hotel, restaurant, house, cottages and Woody's campground are all within short walking distance of each other, literally right across the street. So if you party hard at night, you don't have to worry about how to get back to your bed.


Plus Dwight and I have some great rides planned in NC, VA and TN. One of which will include the famous 'SNAKE' in TN and other roads such as 89, 66 and 8 in NC and VA and the don't forget the Blue Ridge Parkway which is easily accessbile from Freebornes.
Image
We're gonna have a blast exploring NEW ROADS AND SCENERY so don't miss out!


Hope to see you there!

Its goin t be a last minute decision. Probably be camping i suppose...anyone bringing the wives? Mine would come but probably not ride, if there isnt a shoe store close by she would get bored..LOL
LOL!!! I think most of the wives that will be there ride thier own bike or as a passenger. Mine doesn't ride or camp:D

There is a Winery about 15 miles away. There is not anything really close by for any shopping. She'll have to travel an hour or so to get to anything decent. That just put her on the road away from the hotel another two hours just ot get back and forth :D so you should be fine!!!!

You'd better be nice to her and convince her to ride with you or you'll never be able to keep up with everyone else. ;)

Hey guys, I need some planning help. This thing is 5/7 (Saturday) - 5/14 (Saturday). I'm only going to be able to ride up on a Friday and stay all day Saturday and come back Sunday. Either weekend works out for me. I'm hoping to ride the "Back Of The Dragon" with as many of y'all as I can. So I'm wondering if you guys can give me some kind of idea about when the most of y'all are gonna be out there for this ride. The first Saturday or the second Saturday? I'm not trying to schedule anything for anyone, just hoping to be able to ride with as many of you as I can for my short trip. I talked to Dwight a few minutes ago and he convinced me to throw this out on the thread to get some feedback. I hope to smoke.... uh... I mean "ride with" as many of you at once as I can on the Back Of The Dragon road.... Just trying to sync up with as many of you as I can for the ride. :) And remember... don't fear The Reaper.

I have a stock rim with an almost brand new tire on it if you need it. Let me know.

Sara & I will be there whenever she says so on Saturday the 7th.... I'm realistic.

"Dog" is in charge of his own self.

At my house we got some HARD wind and rain for about 20 minutes or so and lost power for a couple of hours. Zero damage here. I rode my dirtbike back to the town/neighborhood I grew up in (Fayetteville) and it looked like h3ll. My old neighborhood was devastated. The roof was completely ripped off of my old elementary school. One of the houses I grew up in had the roof completely lifted up and then dropped back down on it kinda crooked. I've never seen so many cops in one place in my life. I got stopped once and they searched my saddlebags. The cop found a camera and said "What is this?!?!?" I said "It's a camera..." He said "Where did it come from!?!?!" I said "It's mine. I bought it from a store." He said "What are you planning to do with it?!?!?" I had a hundred smart@ss replies pop into my head but instead I just said "Well I kinda thought I'd take some pictures with it..." Hmmm... He must just be a lot smarter than I am. I didn't realize you could do much with a camera except take pictures. :confused: He let me go on my way a minute later after he puffed his chest up a little more. They're saying somewhere around 62 tornadoes tore up NC yesterday. The most ever in history. At least 22 confirmed dead in NC so far. :(

Lodging is up to you. Most will camp behind Freebornes. The owner says he will charge $15 a night for tents. There are also rooms available in the hotel, there may be a house or two for rent (right across the street) and some may choose to stay at Wild Woody's campground right next door. Stations inn is right across the road which is basically the same setup as Freebornes. All the loding info with links etc...is on page one, first post.

As is tradition at our warrior gatherings, there is no set schedule of rides each day. Dwight and myself have some really nice rides planned but in no particular order or day. We do not schedule 'parade' type rides because there are so many different skill levels in our group. Most of us have ridden together enough to know which group we like to ride in and tomorrows plans are discussed around the fire the night before. If you hear a group planning to ride in a certain area and you'd like to tag along...let them know but you may want to ask about their riding style. Some ride more aggressive than others and prefer going fast and playing in the twisties over site seeing and taking pics. So pick your group accorddingly or bring a GPS/map so you can find your way back home. :cool:

Hope to see you there.
