3 Welcome to the 2015 Road King Riders Rendezvous Celebrating our 12TH ANNIVERSARY Rendezvous in Murphy, North Carolina June 8-13, 2015 Enclosed in this packet is information about each day s routes and activities. GPS Routes and interactive Google Maps are available on the signup page. Schedule at a glance The official "Meet & Greet" of RKRR 2015 will be all day Monday, June 8, in the parking lot of the Best Western Hotel, 1522 Andrews Road, Murphy, North Carolina, Much of the group will assemble here in the evenings throughout the week. Opening Dinner will be at 6:30 Monday at the Chop House in Murphy, 130 Valley River Ave, Murphy, NC Phone (828) (two miles from our hotel). $25.35 per person - payable at the restaurant - includes non alcoholic beverage, tip and tax. Closing Dinner will be at 6:30 Friday at Brothers Restaurant 1466 Andrews Road, Murphy, NC in the shopping center one block from the hotel. Buffet and menu available. Buffet is approximately $12 payable at the restaurant. Briefings for each day s ride will be at 8:45 a.m. in the parking lot, and kickstands go up at 9:00.

4 All riders should be fueled up, geared up and ready to ride at 8:45! All guided rides are approximately 200 miles, which is a LONG day in the mountains. Rain is always a possibility, and stopping a large group to suit up is not, so dress at your own risk. Lunch will normally be at or later than 1:00 p.m., so if you have diet issues, be prepared for that. Each day s route will have an optional self-guided short-cut return from lunch if you are tired or need to get back early, or if the weather gets unsafe. Alcohol Notice: Keep all alcohol containers covered in public areas. We will be sharing this hotel with other families. Helmets are required for all group rides. On Friday, we will briefly make our way into helmet option South Carolina, but we will not stop going in or coming out for head gear changes. In addition to safety, helmets also make great sunscreen and do an excellent job of holding your ear buds in! We highly recommend helmets whether required or not! Each night we will be gathering in the hotel parking lot. Don t be shy! Come on out and make new friends or get reacquainted with old ones. We hope to see you there! CAMP CHAIRS - The Best Western does not provide outdoor chairs, so we strongly encourage you to bring packable camp chairs and enjoy the fellowship. There are nearby department stores if you prefer to just purchase a chair when you get there. Money well spent for a week of laughter and camaraderie! Anyone trailering or trucking that can bring extra chairs will be considered an RKRR hero! FUEL UP!! At the end of each day s last ride, please top off your tank so you re fueled and ready the next morning. Don t be the rider that has to run to the gas station while the rest of us bake in the parking lot! Bikes actually prefer sleeping on a full tank to reduce condensation inside the tank! Large Group Riding If you are new to, or unsure about riding with a large group, or are relatively new to mountain riding, please let the hosts or ride captains know. Your safety and enjoyment are our top priority!

5 Road King Riders SAFETY GUIDELINES: 1. Helmets are required. 2. Less experienced and less aggressive riders up front behind the lead captains. However, all riders should posses the skills to ride these roads at or slightly above speed limits and be comfortable in a large group environment 3. Formation: Single file (secondary roads) and Staggered (open highways) - Fill gaps by swapping tracks after hand signaling, or moving forward to fill a space, whichever you are more comfortable doing. Stay 2-3 seconds behind the rider directly in front of you. Absolutely no side-by-side riding on the group rides! 4. Point to hazards in the road with a hand or foot so those behind you will have advance warnings. 5. No Sling-shotting (lagging back, then shooting forward) 6. Road Captains in front, Road Captains in rear, Road Captains in the middle. Everyone else rides between the Captains. No exceptions. 7. Problem bikes stop. All others continue on. Rear Captains will provide assistance. 8. Personal stops just flag the rear captains on by, then rejoin the group at the next stop if you wish. 9. Keep your brain working!! Kickstands, Kill Switches, Disc Locks and Petcocks are often overlooked on group events. 10. Turn off Spot lights if possible. (Except Road Captains) 11. Ride Responsibly. We are not here to improve or test our skills, but to enjoy the ones we already have. 12. Park your bike in first gear to prevent roll-offs, and remember that it s in gear when you crank it! 13. Park in straight lines behind and beside lead bikes on scenic stops. This will save a lot of time, confusion, and effort with stopping and starting. 14. Spot Turns Last rider stays at turn until the rest of the group catches up. 15. Tires and Brakes: Check yours well before coming and often during the week.
