WELL, AFTER DOING THE CALCULATIONS, I found that it is $600 for a single person, and $480 per person if two go... $960 for both of us, that's an expensive weekend. I went to N. Carolina, rode there, spent the night on the way, and on the way back, and probably spent $500 on the wife and I at the Iron Horse Lodge, close to the Tail of the Dragon, and had a great time..and it was 6 days, not two nights and 3 days. If we were able to just ride there and tag along on the rides, we would do it. But, it is a package deal, and i don't think they would allow someone to stay at another hotel, and attend the rides... so, we won't be going, but I encourage anyone else who can afford that, to try to go!
