North Georgia Classic (Road)
April 21-23, 2023
Dillard, Georgia
A long standing Southeastern tradition for the MSTA, we kick-off the riding season in style at the North Georgia Classic. This year, we will rally for three days out of one of our historical locations, a “Classic” spot…if you will. The quiet town of Dillard in beautiful Rabun County will play host this year. We have successfully held this event in Dillard previously, as well as our famous Dual Sport gathering, and we look forward to returning. (Helen has been a great location in the past, but sometimes a little change is good.) The mountains are calling, come ring in the new riding year with us!

Eureka Springs, Arkansas
This is the 6th annual Ozark Escape event. It takes place each year, in the great state of Arkansas. For those riders that have experienced the Ozarks, and for those of you not familiar with this area, they call the state of Arkansas the “Natural State” and there is a reason for that. The scenic views, the magical little places to visit, and some of the most
amazing roads in the country await you. This is a great way to kick off the riding season.

Beyond the small costs for registration, etc., all donations will go to the fund, so please give what you can.

Hotel Contact Person: Tracy Sheets. Call the hotel at directly to make your reservation. Do not book online. Breakfast is not included in the room rates. All rooms and cabins are discounted 30-40 percent from the seasonal rates. They are holding 50 rooms including cabins under the MSTA name until April 20. Lodge rooms- $99/night, suites and rooms with balconies are also available at steeply discounted rates. 4-Bedroom Deluxe Cabins: $303/night. (Other sizes are also available.) Note on cabins: People who want to use the cabins should coordinate a group of four or more. If you form the group before you register, one person will need to make the deposit. After the others in the group check in at the event, the reservations desk will refund the extra to that cabin coordinator. But if someone doesn’t show up, the person who coordinates the cabin is liable for what the no-show would have paid. Choose your cabin-mates carefully. The Canaan Valley Resort is the same facility where we held STAR 2021 a couple years ago. We will offer the same Street and ADV routes that we used for STAR, but have been improved since then. They will be available for download to GPS devices. If you have any questions, contact Chris Shoop at 304-488-9128 (reasonable hours) or shoopce@gmail.com. Website: ridemsta.com/wv-canaan
35th Annual T-Rally (Road)
May 19-21, 2023
Harrison, Arkansas
The T-Rally is one of the longest running rallies in the MSTA. The rally location is in the center of the Ozark mountains and is
surrounded by great roads. Event coordinators Bill and Becky Wing have simplified this year’s event- there is no hot dog cook out or formal banquet this year, but there is a restaurant next door so we will have dinner as a group. On Saturday, you will be able to ride the exceptional route that Bill puts together each year. He knows all the roads and is a master at stringing them together in routes that are among the best you will find anywhere.

Parkway, offering scenic vistas, unspoiled landscapes and friendly folk. Named TriSTAR because you’re only a few miles from the
states of Virginia and Tennessee and event routes cover all three states. Come and enjoy the scenic beauty along miles and miles of great twisty mountain roads. There are lots of things to do in the area for those not interested in riding- A great way to spend Memorial Day Weekend.
