Default Non Racing Events worth traveling to.

Many of us ride and don't race but we do travel (sometimes long distances) to expand the enjoyment of our sport. Please list where you live and the events you feel are worthy of traveling to for a long weekend of riding.
I live in Cookeville, TN.
Events: WUDI ride, Arkansas, once yearly between late Feb and 1stweek
of Apr, I love this ride it is held at various locations
(White Rock, Brock Creek, Hot Springs) and attracts
more than 100 riders each year some from as far away as
New York.
:Loretta Lynn Ride, Dude Ranch near WaverlY, TN (145 miles East of
Memphis), twice yearly usually around April Fools day
then again the weekend before Halloween. 600 - 1000
riders some on quads. http://www.southernwoodsrider.com/ more at http://www.mtdr.net/mtdr2/index.php?name=Forums
:Seven Springs, Northwest Alabama, once yearly usually 2nd weekend
in Nov. 100 riders or more most on bikes but most of the
trails are closed to quads. http://rattlesnakesaloon.net/
Of these Seven Springs is my favorite mostly due to the awesome trails but also due to its' uniqueness - how many other rides have a full saloon built into a rock bluff that features cold beer, hot food, and live entertainment?

Chris thanks for the update on the WUDI ride. I would love to go back to Brock Creek so I'll check my schedule. The 7 Springs ride will be 2 weeks later (8-10 Nov). It's 310 miles due East of Hot Springs and well worth the trip. Many of the sections are technical and challenging just the kind of stuff you love. If you want to come I'll save you a spot in the camper it sleeps 4. Check out the saloon and lodge at http://rattlesnakesaloon.net/

I live in S.E. MN and very close to the Theilman trail ride. The weekend ride is put on by the Golden Eagles MC club out of Rochester. The ride takes place on state land / horse trails. The club works out a deal with the DNR to use the property twice a year. It just took place this past weekend and is always a blast. There's lots of single track riding through the bluff country. This is worth traveling to check out. Hats off to the club for another great weekend!

If you guys really want to stretch your legs and come North of the border to Ontario, there are events such as the Algonquin 2day and the Calabogie Boogie 2 day. One is in June and the other is the second weekend in Sept. (just this past weekend)
