Yesterday I rode up to the Big Lynn Lodge to check up on a few things.
226A is ALL repaved... they are still installing a few guard rails. AND as with all repaving they put new gravel on all the berms. That sounds good except "Bubba" can't seem to keep his pick-em-up on the road and drags the gravel onto the new pavement. So I've survived here by staying in one of the tire tracks... left or right in every corner. Do not cross from one tire track to the other in mountain curves... that center... between the two tire tracks is very dangerous with the gravel.
The Big Lynn is almost full. There are only 8 rooms left for this event so call now and get yours before all are gone.
Also if you have a room or when you make a reservation be sure to give your T-shirt size because Hoyte the Owner is having event T-shirts made.
The Alligator's Blues band will be playing Friday night for our entertainment.
The roads are fantastic both paved and dual sport.
I sure hope you can make it!

Just made reservations for Jennie and I and registration form is in the mail.  As of today ( 6-25 ) there are three rooms available so time is running out if you are thinking about attending.

Update:
I went up to the Big Lynn Lodge today! There are Two rooms left at the BLL!
One room has 2 Queen beds. The other has 2 Queen beds and 2 bunk beds in another room... But there is no door between the tw bed rooms. And you have to go through the bunk bed room to get to the bathroom.
So if you want to stay with us at the Lodge call ASAP! If you do get a room let me know.
Thanks

As of yesterday June 30, 2014 the Big Lynn Lodge has only one room left and this room has 2 Queen Beds in one room and 2 Bunk Beds in an adjoining room (no door between rooms).

Overflow motel: http://www.skylinevillageinn.com/ The Skyline Village Inn Cavern Tavern is located at the intersection of NC 226, NC 226A and the Blue Ridge Parkway. And is approximately 3 miles from the Big Lynn Lodge. Mike there has some rooms for us:
Balcony (with the view) Single 1Q $99 our rate $93
Balcony Double 2Q $119 our rate $113
Single (no view but access to the balcony view) 1Q $79 our rate $73
Double 2Q $99 our rate $93
Call: 828-765-9394

Note: They also have a few Dual Sport bike to rent. Call for more info.

There is also https://switzerlandinn.com/ The Switzerland Inn is located at the intersection of NC 226A and the Blue Ridge Parkway at the Little Switzerland exit MM 334. It is right at Little Switzerland near the post office and the Little Switzerland Cafe.
The Switzerland Inn is a motorcycle friendly motel and even has one building designated as for motorcyclists located behind the tennis courts. You can actually ride your bike on a walkway back to this building and park it under cover. These MC Rooms share bathroom facilities. I was unable to negotiate any special rates at the Switzerland Inn so the rate will be what you can negotiate. The Switzerland Inn is approximately 4 miles down NC 226A from the Big Lynn Lodge.

Hoyte the Big Lynn Lodge owner says that if you stay at either of these facilities he will see that you can get a ride to and from so that you can enjoy an adult beverage if you so desire. Note: The Big Lynn Lodge has some beer to sell by the drink but if you desire a certain beverage you should BYOB!

It looks like I will have another surprise for all attendees... stay tuned!

Last time I was at the Skyline Village Inn (5+ years ago during a Tri-STAR event) they had a large selection of beer available for carry out at a store next door. Or was that some other place down there? I know we ate lunch there and it looked like a nice place.

Wish I could make this but things are just too busy here to break away again for vacation. Y'all enjoy it and maybe next year (since I won't be able to make STAR  >:( ).
 
Good to know the old memory is still pretty good, the Village Inn Shop, claiming the best beer/wine selection in the area. Even the most cultured of beer snob should be able to find something good there.

Steve I visited the Skyline Village yesterday to firm up them as our overflow Motel and yes they have a large selection of beer! I will be recommending them to anyone looking for good beer!
Also they have 3 dual sport bikes for rent. 2 small Yamaha 200 & 225cc and a 650cc BMW. $100/day for the Yamaha and $125 plus Mike said $15/day for insurance. That is a cool deal! So if anyone wants to DS ride give Mike a call.
This is a cool place too Mike and Lynn Thrift bought the Skyline 10 years ago. I used to stay there in the 90's during my many "Spring rides"! A lot has changed since then!

Just booked airfares to AVL on Friday, July 18th, so Cindy & I will see you for at least part of Big Lynn! 
We may book nearby lodging for the Friday night as the Blues Band is right up our alley. 
Our place is just 5 minutes from Asheville airport, so anybody wanting to ride any day thru Saturday, August 2nd give me a shout please.
