The MSTA rally “Tri-Star” is based out of the Alleghany Inn in Sparta, NC at 341 North Main Street on US 21.
Sparta, in northwest North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, is nestled between the New River and the Blue Ridge Parkway offering scenic vistas, unspoiled landscape and friendly folk. Named Tri-Star because you’re only a few miles from the States of Virginia and Tennessee. Come and enjoy the scenic beauty and miles and miles of great twisty mountain roads.

and Saturday evening BBQ dinner.
Lots of things to do in the area for those not interested in riding. A great way to spend your Memorial Day weekend.
