Smoky Valley Rally Scheduled for June 2009

Lenoir City, Tennessee, Loudon County. Tennessee will welcome motorcycle enthusiasts to the best riding pavement in the U.S. June 4-7, 2009 for the first annual Smoky Valley Rally. This inaugural rally will help fill the gap left by the canceled 2009 Honda Hoot, giving riders a new opportunity to ride the twists of the Dragon and a host of lesser known roads during this long weekend of live music, street parties, self-guided tours, and one of the largest arts and crafts festivals in the South.



Smoky Valley Rally will feature planned rides every day for all registered attendees. Planned rides include RT 129/the Dragon; Fall Creek Falls, Cherohala Skyway, and a poker run. Attendees also can take a riverboat breakfast cruise on the Watts Bar Belle riverboat and kayak on the Tennessee River, among other activities.

Smoky Valley Rally general activities will begin daily, rain or shine, at Loudon Municipal Park at 8:30 a.m. Daily passes are $10 and an event pass for all four days is $25. This year’s event will feature live music every evening at the park along with contests, vendor displays and demonstrations, and concessions.
