We took off to the annual Deals Gap FZ1OA Rally at Fontana Village for June 6,7,8. We loaded up the trailer, and took off after riding some fun roads here in Boone first. The folks at Fontana were kind of a pain. If I based this entire experience on how we were treated by the management and staff at Fontana Village, I would NEVER go back. The manager was a complete A-Hole and he tried to rip us off by several hundred dollars.
This was the ride we took on Saturday (After getting pulled over at 7:15 AM by a THP Master Trooper). It was a fun ride, but 143 heading to the Cherohola Skyway was freshly tarred and graveled.. like that morning... and once on the Skyway, we had to keep pulling over because we'd get stuck behind guys on Harleys that would give us headaches with their loud pipes, and for some reason, they couldn't figure out how to make their bikes go over 15MPH. 360 heading back North was a BLAST! The road had nice long sweepers, that seemed to go on forever.. at times, we were asking ourselves if we were just going in one big circle..

Evening times at the Rally were spent sitting around talking... drinking beer.. and trying to recover from the day of riding... Rally provided food was Hamburgers, Hotdogs, Sausage, Potato Salad, Pasta Salad, and the like... but we missed dinner the first night and Lisa made us some AWESOME sandwiches with Bacon!!
