Information...
It was decided that we needed to have some fun and that a large get to together of all riders, past, present and future would be the way to go. With that in mind Bob Tobitt has spent a couple of months collating and mapping as many Hoagy's Heroes riders as he could get a hold of in order to find a place central for everyone.
After much number crunching and push pin mapping (NOT!) the center spot landed fairly and squarely right at the heart of the "Tail of the Dragon". How lucky are we?
The Meet and Greet will be held over the memorial weekend and specifically on the evening of Saturday the 28th, in Cleveland, Tennessee (Not to be confused with the 'other' Cleveland).
Cleveland, TN is a short hop from the Dragon and many other spectacular rides including the Blue Ridge Parkway. So that we can all have fun and not worry about drinking and riding Bob has booked a hotel with a restaurant and bar on site.
If you would please RSVP via email so we have an idea of how many people will be showing up and to get your name on the mailing list that Bob has created as to keep you up to date with any changes, Bob would greatly appreciate it. Bob's Email Address is rtobitt@comcast.net
Thank You Bob, for taking the Time to put this together.
