    Long story short I got a room from Thursday thru Sunday, leaving on Sunday, at the F6B rate. They only have two other rooms left, a pet friendly room and a smoking room. Looking forward to meeting everyone !

    I just got done looking at all the pictures posted from last years rally. What should we expect as far as temperatures. I noticed on the morning rides it looked like people were wearing sweatshirts and riding jackets. Just trying to decide on what to bring. I know the rule, prepare for anything but thought that I would still ask. Thanks for any advice!

    I checked with "Wikopedia" as to the ave temps for Franklin in sept. looks like highs around 79-83, and over nite lows of upper 50s. So, pack accordingly, and something for non-average days.

    I was in Asheville a few years back on the 13th of September and started my ride at 10 AM at 43 degrees and a sky so blue sunglasses barely helped--until you took them off and found out how bright it really was.

    Can't wait.

    DO NOT PACK much if you are riding in ....

    SHIP a box of clothes through UPS to the motel and it will be there waiting for you, then at the end just have a pick-up label and have UPS pick it up ... ride home and in a few days your doing laundry.

    NEW FLORIDA Members ....

    Ride in with our group. There will be a contingency of Florida riders meeting at the LAKE CITY Cracker Barrel. Thursday morning September 3rd, 2015 ..... 7:00 am, exit 427 off I-75 (just south of the I-10 and I-75 junction) also known as the US Hwy 90 exit.

    We depart for Franklin at 8:00 am SHARP !!!!

    It is nice to ride in with a group who's joining us ??????

    For those riding in from Southern Florida ....
    Plenty of cheap motels in the Lake City area if you want to ride up the night before and tag along with the rest of us the next morning.
