Event Details
The 2022 Kentucky MSTA Rally will be held at the Ramada Inn, Mount Sterling Kentucky on the dates of August 11-14, 2022.. An MSTA Just for Fun rally that is open to all motorcycle riders, regardless of club affiliation. There is NO RALLY FEE for this event, however we will be collecting donations for the Dan Clark Safety Fund (suggested donation of $10, all donations will go to the fund, so please give what you can) at the rally.
Custom suggested routes will be available for download to GPS devices. The location was chosen to take advange of the abundance of twisty and scenic roads that are found in the eastern part of the state.

Hopefully the Red River Gorge folks are reconsidering this fun run. From a practical sense the washed out roads and missing bridges in that area would hinder riding. And from a moral sense it seems unthoughtful to be using resources that those poor people need right now. It may be a long time before the area is ready to host people just out to have fun.

While I appreciate the concern that many have for the unfortunate victims of this catastrophe, it’s also important that people realize that the vast majority of the state was not effected. This is a state with 4.5 million square miles of area and over 160 different counties. Only about a dozen counties were effected at all, and none of them were completely damaged.
In the areas surrounding the flooded counties, there are car shows, cruise ins, dinners, and events of all types being staged as a way to raise money for flood victims. They are asking people to come and to donate money. This is just one more thing along that line that is happening, and will continue to happen, throughout the state in an effort to raise money for fellow Kentuckians.
We will not be riding in the flooded/damaged areas. We will not be hindered by washed out or closed roads. There are no missing bridges in the areas we will be riding. Our routes go through none of the counties that were flooded or damaged.
If anything, we need MORE people to come and visit the state and spend their tourist money. Tourism is a HUGE part of the Kentucky economy, especially in the EASTERN part of the state. We will not only be spending tourism money, we will also be taking donations for the flood relief fund that the state has put together. Please come, spend your money, and donate to the collection I will be taking. ALL money collected will go to the fund.
OP is way off base.
