Noticed many breakfast, lunch, or just get togethers in Cali, Colorado and other locations back West.
Would anyone be interested in establishing these types of meetings in Tennessee to get to know the family members, especially for FNGs?
Yes, I am in East Tennessee
Murfreesboro a good place to meet? It wouldn’t be as bad as Nashville traffic/parking.
In southeast TN. Work always gets in the way, but will keep an eye on anything y’all can schedule and see if I can make it work.
Always go to Chattanooga. Start bringing in folks from GA, AL, and MS areas as well.
I’m in AL, Chattanooga would be good for lunch.
I’m in Memphis area. Given time to plan happy to roll to meetups!
I’d like to get this going for folks from all over the South East. Would everyone be able to meet in Chattanooga starting in January 25th?
We can find a good lunch venue and meet up and discuss to folks questions on the ride.
Right now that looks to work for me. Hopefully the weather will co-operate.
Someone pointed me to a small place with good food just up 24 from Chattanooga in Sewanee and I must say it caught my attention.
Shenanigans
12595 Sollace M Freeman Hwy
Sewanee, TN
Tentative place for now. As we get closer to 25 Jan and weather dependent, I’d like to get a headcount.
As of today, I’m still in. It’s only a 100 mile ride up, hope the weather is good.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
Is the lunch meet at Shenanigans still good for the 25th?
So far yeah it’s still on. Too early for forecasts

Welcome MountainMan, You can start with NEWBIES on this site to get you going in the right direction, then if you have more questions there will be those who join in to help you. Again, Welcome to the Run!
Welcome to Midway
So far we are still a go for the 25th. Just keeping an eye on the weather.
Please bring any and all questions so we can answer what we can before the run.
I was an FNG last year, learned a lot from the ride especially from the group. Thats why we are having these meetups in advance, to answer any questions as well as getting to know the folks early
And see the family again early.
Hope to see you there. Any questions before just ask.
Until then, keep the shiny side up.
Looking at the meetup this weekend for AL, GA, MS, TN and anyone else near Chattanooga, weather is looking good, cool but doable.

How many you got coming so far?
Where in East Tn?? Im in Townsend, 30.miles South of Knoxville. Smokie Mtns
My wife and I will be relocating from the Houston, Texas area in the next few years. We are headed to Tennesse to start looking at places from south of Nashville to the East border of Tennessee the first week in February, 2025. I am looking for a place in the country that can accomidate100 plus folks in a climate controlled shed of some kind. Currently I hold a motorcycle function each April at my place in Texas and get attendee’s from coast to coast currently. I will continue holding it in Tennessee when we get there. I also would like to eventually host a separate RFTW event several times a year at my new place once it is purchased. At that time, we can invite whom ever wants to come that is within a reasonable distance. I know this doesn’t address the current ask for the first gathering but something for others to keep in mind for the future.
