Host Hotel

The Magnuson Hotel was recently sold so things are a bit confusing.

New name is The Buggs Island Inn

Rates are $99 for either a king or a twin based on availability

Please call 434 374 5023 directly - DO NOT USE THE 800 #

We do have one request for all that attend - we would like this to be as Patriotic as possible showing support for our Military, Police, Fire, Rescue Workers and all First Responders.


Hope to see you all there!

  • Can you add another Sling with 2 people. They’re not on the forum yet. Their names are Chris & Kim Reed from Oxford

    • Sure can - will they be there Friday and Saturday?

    • yes sir

    • OK - I got them 1 free ticket to the wine festival as well

    • Can you ask John if he would help as a ride leader? Dave can't make it and Tom is coming in late Friday.

      We can make a test run before the event - he can run the responsible group - I have more that enough irresponsible drivers me included.

      I have a link to google maps that will work on a [hone and GPX files that can be loaded into a GPS
