The name of this Rally says it all! TriSTAR is named for its unique location in Sparta, North Carolina. Despite its s mall size, there are plenty of things to do in Sparta when not riding including several restaurants, a great downtown shopping scene, and a top-rated micro-brewery just a block down the street from the hotel. Nearby riding attractions include the Back of the Dragon, the Blue Ridge Parkway accessed from either end of Sparta, Burkes Garden, Virginia also known as “God’ s Thumbprint,” and Shady Valley, gateway to the Snake. For people interested in ADV riding, there will be GPS Tracks available for three excellent ADV rides that are big-bike friendly. You can either pick from one of the Road or ADV routes that are provided or simply explore the area. Your registration fee gets you two meals!
Friday night at the hotel we will grill burgers and hot dogs along with sides.
Saturday night features a catered dinner provided by Cookie’s catering.
