Alright Vic Nation, the early registration deadline is FAST approaching for the Shine On East Tennessee Backroads 2020 VMC National Rally being held August 27-30 in historic & picturesque Johnson City, Tennessee! Yes, things are still moving forward; the final preparations are being made; and yes, at this time we are STILL looking forward to sharing a wonderful time with our fellow Victory riders from all over! However, as I mentioned before, if you want to take advantage of early registration discounts for the event, you need to click on the link below and register by July 2, 2020! After July 2, the registration fees will go up, sooooo CLICK NOW! https://eventsthevmcnationalmeet2020.wordpress.com/ Also, be sure to take advantage of the great rates being offered by our host hotel, the Holiday Inn in Johnson City located on Springbrook Dr. Again, you better hurry, though, as for the event before it will be fully booked! Call (423)-282-4611 to reserve your room, and don't forget to ask about discounted rates for rally-goers who want to arrive early and stay a few days before the actual rally kicks off on Thursday! The Shine On East Tennessee Backroads 2020 VMC National Rally is shaping up to be one of the best VMC events and one of the highlights of the summer of 2020! Maps will be made available at the beginning of the event so you can plan out your riding enjoyment for the weekend: whether you go alone on a self-guided cruise; tackle a fun ride with a small group; or take advantage of one of our guided rides we have planned for our visitors where we take you through the beautiful mountains and valleys of East Tennessee and the surrounding areas. The longer, guided rides will include scenic stops and lunch planned along the route as well as a bit of history in some cases. Along with our Thursday night "Vittles & Talks" at the Holiday Inn, we are planning a fun-filled weekend of spectacular, scenic riding; delicious dining options; live entertainment; bike games; and so much more. There is plenty of shopping nearby for those who so choose, and there will be a variety of vendors set up in the hotel parking lot offering Victory-related merchandise and services (Be sure and visit the "vendors" page on the website to see who IS signed up and be assured others will be there as we are still contacting more vendors). Each attendee will receive a Shine On East Tennessee Backroads 2020 VMC National Rally "Schwag" Bag, filled with keepsakes including a commemorative rally t-shirt, a rally pin, a rally patch and other items. Friday, after everyone returns from a great day of riding, we will be the guests of a very unique, local, business located just a few miles from the hotel in Tennessee's oldest town, Jonesborough. They have offered to provide live entertainment; plenty of outdoor seating; and host a bike show! Jonesborough's beautiful, historic, downtown shops and scenery are within walking distance and food trucks will be on-site offering a variety of popular, local dishes for dinner...giving us all a great opportunity to visit and get to know more of our extended Victory family. Saturday will offer more riding adventures through the East Tennessee mountains & surrounding areas throughout the day. The bike games will get underway around 4 pm in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn after our riders return. The evening will culminate with a banquet at the hotel followed by more opportunities to socialize and visit into the night before everyone checks out and heads for home on Sunday. As you can see, East Tennessee has a lot to offer...and we are making plans to offer you a truly memorable time at the Shine On East Tennessee Backroads 2020 VMC National Rally August 27-30, 2020 in picturesque Johnson City, Tennessee.
