Indy Dave Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) 57 minutes ago, Chris K said: I just got off the phone with the hotel and there are no more 2 Queen Bed rooms. Currently the following types of rooms are available: 8 x 2 double beds 7 x single queen 2 x single king In Maggie Valley, we had an increase in riders not doubling up in rooms, and we appear to be experiencing that in Sparta as well. We would like to encourage those of you who are vaccinated to consider sharing with others who are vaccinated as your comfort level allows. Thanks! Edited June 3, 2021 by Indy Dave Link to comment

Glad you're OK Randy, and hope you're not too sore now after the fact. We all hope to see you this Fall. Be well! Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Sorry to hear that @randy..Glad you are okay. Have faith, the bike will be ready in time. I just hope there is no trifecta in play for the group. Time to keep riding like someone is trying to kill us. Yeah, they are always trying to kill us. 1 Link to comment

I just changed my 2 queen bed reservation to a room with 1 queen bed, so that should free up another room for folks who want to room together. 4 1 Link to comment

So he's the Official 24 Hour Bell Hop and Caddy for anything anyone needs in Sparta. I'm sure he will be happy to split duties with you if you go ahead and sign up. Link to comment
