RIDERS TO BEAN BLOSSOM
Quote from hdsidecarron on March 14, 2004, 9:39 pmI'm looking for fellow sidecarist who may be traveling to Bean Blossom for the USAC Rally this summer. I live close to I-75 near Chattanooga, TN. Any of you that may wish to ride as a group and are coming this route may respond by email to me and maybe I can cordinate a schedule/route where we can ride together. Those of you that are north of me can join us on the way along the route. On arrival some may want to campout at Bean Blossom but others may want to stay at a motel. Perhaps the ones wanting a softer nights sleep (motel) can stay at the same motel. I've gotten some very reasonable rate quotes within 20 miles. Those trailering their rigs as well as solo bikes or cars are also welcome (I may be in that number trailering). We won't be setting any land-speed records and will be stopping for gas every couple of hours. HD SIDECAR RON

I just got done looking at the website for the Covered Bridge Inn and my wife said it was acceptable to her. I was going to call them and check on availability. How many rooms do you have?

Quote from Guest on June 11, 2004, 11:58 amI'm sorry to say that the rooms at the Covered Bridge Inn are all filled. The place is tiny and the open rooms went right away. I've asked the manager of the motel to suggest some other "value priced" places with this in mind,"Our guys aren’t interested in the resorts, just a clean place to sleep and shower with an air conditioner and a TV."
She replied, "Orchard Hill 812/988-4455 or Hickory Shades 812/988-4694 Orchard Hill is about 1 miles north of Nashville on St. Rd.135. Hickory Shades is about 5 miles out 46 west from Nashville. You can call the visitors center and they can probably give you more infomation Vistors Bureau-1-800-970-0061"
I've had very good experiences with the Visitor's Bureau folks. If there's anything that I can do to help, let me know. I can be reached by phone at 612/759-4666
