We made reservations yesterday to attend the BMWST Spring Tuneup Appalachian Riding Tour ("START") in Ellijay GA at the end of April '23. Anyone else from here planning on attending? Here's a link in case you can't find it.

Have fun. We'll be returning from a Texas trip then.

It looks like it would be a fun trip. Is this one of the MOA events?
I found the prominent "Free Parking" graphic on the ad amusing. Is that a "perk" these days at a regular motel / hotel that caters to motorcyclists? Any place I stay better have free parking.

It's one of the Sport Touring forum rallies.
Here's a link to the six annual events.

The "Free Parking" graphic is quite satirical given the locations for these events. I do enjoy satire though. As of now there are 88 registered to attend which makes for a pretty large group. The other BMWST gatherings we've attended were very well run and enjoyable. I'll put up a ride report after we get back home.
