Each year thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts descend on Nashville, Tennessee from all over the United States. In 2001 the rally drew participants from over twenty-six states partly because there's nothing like the fall in middle Tennessee. The leaves are turning beautiful colors and the weather is warm but with a seasonal feeling of fall in the air. The Stampede takes place each year in September.

Tennessee has may great things to offer. The Great Smokey Mountains, plenty of winding roads through small, rural towns, tons of Civil War historic sites, antebellum mansions and majestic state parks are just the start. Then there's all the music that Tennessee is famous for: the blues on Beale Street, the honky tonks of Nashville and the bluegrass of the Smokey Mountains.

The Steel Horse Stampede is a riders rally. There are organized rides from Nashville to Lynchburg with a ride to the Jack Daniel Distillery, a $25,000 Poker Run that benefits MDA and covers the winding Natchez Trace, and many back-roads that rally-goers can get lost on for a whole day's worth of wonderful riding. The Stampede also offers a variety of the industry's best vendors including the Camel Roadhouse, Easyriders, Big Dog, Harley-Davidson and many custom builders. There's also plenty of great food from the Wildhorse Saloon, Hard Rock Cafe, Big River Brewing Company and many others. If your bike has what it takes you can enter it into the mid south's largest custom bike show, sponsored by Chromemasters.

With so much to see, hear and do, the Steel Horse Stampede is a "must ride" for any biker anywhere.
