For everyone that attended the Raid in 2013: I've been asked how to get the group photos. When you purchase your action shots from www.Killboy.com, during checkout you will reach a page that will have a section for special instructions. All you need to do is tell them that you were in the Triumph group at The Iron Horse. They will include ALL the shots that were taken at Iron Horse for FREE!
I have preached constantly about how the roads in this area are very different than most areas that many of you come from. I found that Blount Co. Sheriff's Office has opened a new site called www.DragonAwreness.com This site has some interesting statistics about the number of accidents on the Dragon. This is a challenging road you can easily get in over your head real quick on. I have also warned many to stay away from that particular 11 mile section of road during the weekend. And that is another reason to come to this event for the full week. A Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon is typically the time of week for the least amount of traffic. You can really enjoy it then. When the weekend is here, you can choose many routes around this area that will knock your socks off.
