What is this rally all about?
No explanation needed for those who have attended one of the previous events. Back in 2019 I decided to set up a few days of scooter riding in Maggie Valley, NC. I called it the "Maggie Valley Beat the Heat Scooter Ride".
Why "Beat the Heat". In July and August much of the country and certainly the South East is sweltering in heat and humidity. Not so in Maggie Valley. I got the idea for this ride when checking weather forecast for various locations and I noticed that Maggie Valley had forecast temps in the 70s and low 80s when most other places were in the 90s.
Besides the Cool temps I knew from experience that there was some fantastic riding around Maggie Valley.
It was organized on fairly short notice but we still had 10 people show up. I had a fantastic time and it was great meeting and riding with some of the fine folks on this forum. My ride report from that event is here: https://advrider.com/f/threads/full...the-rocket-city.647784/page-118#post-38254195
I decided then that this should be an annual event so I started organizing the 2020 event much earlier. Despite the Covid Pandemic we had around 30 people show up in 2020. My ride report form 2020 is here: https://advrider.com/f/threads/full...the-rocket-city.647784/page-173#post-40608466
The third event was in 2021. I changed the name from "Scooter Ride" to "Scooter gathering". I think we had around 30 people again. My ride report for 2021 is here: https://advrider.com/f/threads/full...the-rocket-city.647784/page-252#post-42825812
