The Rally was extremely well organised. Unlike other Harley or HOG organised rallies, this one is open to other riders and members of the public and it is only the entertainment that is closed to those who have registered for the event. Most riders stay at one of the hotels in the resort itself or nearby, but some travel in from further away to enjoy the mass ride out on Saturday. 1,750 had pre-registered before the event, but that number grew to 2,800 by the time the event was in full swing.
There was entertainment that included Clannadonia, a Scottish Tribal drumming group, who played around the resort during the day and at the start of the mass ride out, plus live music and a great stage show, Route 66, for the final night. Clannadonia gave an inspiring stage performance on Saturday night,
We had seen Route 66, sponsored by Harley-Davidson, in Tewkesbury earlier in the year as part of their nationwide tour, but were more than happy to see it again - a high energy, mostly 60's music-based show of high quality and very apt for a Harley rally!
The highlight event was, without doubt, the mass ride out on Saturday and the weather was dry, albeit extremely windy at times.
