Tennessee Adventure Ribfest – October 17th - 20th, 2013
Return to beautiful Centerville Tennessee in the heart of Hickman County for the "best ribs you can ride to".
Lee Waggoner and the BMW Motorcycle Club of Nashville invite you to some of the best GS riding (dual sport, adventure touring) in the country. Available roads include off-road trails for all skill levels, from first-time off-road riders to more experienced riders. If you don't care for dirt and gravel, there are paved roads that rival the best of East Tennessee. Our site includes plenty of shady spaces for camping, with nearby motels, and all the ribs and chicken that you can eat.
150 Maximum Registrations - so there is plenty of room for everybody.
Pre-registration - $40 - On-site registration - $45, includes great riding; 3 nights camping (beginning Thursday); Music; Friday dinner meal; and the famous "Saturday Night All-You-Can-Eat Chicken and Ribs" meal.
Friday, Oct 19th - Day-long GS Riding School available at separate fee of $100 — details to follow.
