I just updated the first post with registration and lodging info  

[GRN]

Up to 59 registered, from 14 states, on 11 brands... off to a great start.

Rooms are going quickly...

I ran into Neale Bayly at the Triumph launch event Saturday night, and he confirmed he'll be available to give presentations and lead a ride over to Wheels Through Time. His Friday presentation will be on his Peru trips, and his non-profit foundation, Wellspring http://www.wellspring-outreach.org/. On Saturday night, at my request, he'll show a collection of 50 random images spanning his career, and reliving those moments... this is going to be really cool.

Last call for plush accommodations...

If you want a roof over your head for the weekend, that isn't a bunkhouse, your options are getting thin...
Here’s what’s left as of 1:45 PM today:
4 semi-private rooms (shared bath with one other room)
1 private room
2 bedroom cabin
4 bedroom cabin

The cabins can be broken into individual “rooms”.
There is still plenty of bunk house and camping availability.

Registrations:
We have been asked to cap this event at 150 participants to ensure we don’t exceed the capacity of the dining services.
If you (or others in your party) haven’t registered yet, especially if you have already made lodging reservations, please do so!
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/motorcycles-of-charlotte-1st-annual-spring-rally-registration-20632762147
There will be a waiting list established when we hit the registration cap.
We’ll ask those who have registered to re-confirm a month prior to the event - any cancellations at that time will be made available to those on the waiting list, in the order that they registered for it.

Thanks, ride safe

well it seems like my buddies cant commit to going because of work and physical problems, and them having fears about the weather. But if that changes we'll make housing arrangements elsewhere.  If it's just me, I will be camping anyway, so I'm not worried.  Glad to see so much positive response.

Quick update - We raised the cap from 150 to 175, and we have 161 registered. 175 is already a stretch, we won't be able to do more than that...

Registration has been maxed... waiting list started.
