Rolling Thunder?
Not sure if there is a relationship, but I was at a wedding in Front Royal, VA and was surprised at all the bikes staying at the hotel.
This is like 40mi from DC; could there be that many hotel rooms booked so that riders have to stay that far out?

They estimate between 700-900,000 motorcycles make the ride any given year, so there's a pretty good chance most hotels were filled up. If the guys actually like to ride, other than the RT ride itself, Front Royal is a pretty good place to do it within striking distance of the run.

It's the world's largest gathering of motorcycles and the world's largest annual protest. (Which is what it is, not a rally)
I stayed in Gaithersburg, Maryland, about 25-miles out from the Pentagon parking lots. In the past, I have stayed as far out as Hagerstown, MD.
