Riders from all over the country gather to enjoy some of the best riding in the Southeast through the foothills of Kentucky and Tennessee. The natural beauty of this area was noted by naturalist and “Father of Our National Parks”, John Muir in his famous Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf.

There is free camping on the banks of the beautiful Cumberland River which runs along quaint downtown Burkesville, KY. There are well maintained toilet and showering facilities (bring your own towel and soap) and a covered pavilion with a fire pit.

Most people take advantage of the free camping but for those who prefer hotels reservations are available at the Riverfront Lodge (walking distance from the rally site) by calling (270)-864-3300. Register early for the Riverfront as the rooms there tend to fill up. Unfortunately, the Alpine Lodge will not be available in 2013. We have not used these hotels in the past but some we know of are The Best Western Albany Garden, Sulphur Creek Resorts, Burkesville, KY; Hendricks Creek Resort; Hendricks Creek Road, Burkesville, KY; The Old Coe House B&B, Burkesville, KY and the Dale Hollow Lake State Park.

Both guided tours and self guided rides will be offered. A tech session will be offered on Saturday with information that most bikers would like to have, more to come on this.
