September ?? Ride to Tail of the Dragon

[k9maniac]

these things happen.....

is that intersection just north of Blue ridge lake?

that's a hike! what's the meet up time there?

[Joey_Dude]

9 am is the meet time sir. Yeah its an all-day ride, none of this wannabee 1 hour ride sh*t!! Ha ha!

[k9maniac]

well, looks like I will have to go to bed extra early for that one so that I can keep up. Or not go to sleep at all. either way. So you think it will take us 3 hours from there to get to the BBQ place?

[Rollin_Again]

Would it be misleading to tell my wife that I am leaving on my bike for a while to go eat some BBQ? I guess as long as I came back with a BBQ receipt I would have been 100% truthful even if the receipt is for 6 hours earlier.


Regards,
Rollin

Ha ha, I'd rather you stay alive so make sure to get to bed early ;) Yeah GeorgiaRider wants to go through the Cherohala Skyway and I have to admit I love that road. Yeah it should take about 3 hours or so to get from that meet-up spot to the BBQ place. I don't know where you are but a fast way to get to the meet-up is to take Hwy 515. Make sure to watch your speed! I've seen cops there especially in the 55 mph zones.

GA 60 is another way you can go but it takes almost twice as long as Hwy 515 but I admit it's pretty fun.

Tell you what I'll bring some fake blood and we can say you got into an argument on the right type of lederhosen to wear. If an all-day event is just too much you could just ride with us on Cherohala Skyway, have some BBQ and skip the tail of the dragon ride. I understand how it goes with the

This ride is all about having fun and not about breaking marriages!!

[GeorgiaRider]

So Joey,
Who all is planning on meeting on this ride? I'll have at least a couple with me, Todd, Russ, or Chris. I'm hoping our weather holds out. I need a good long, A**-hurting day! I did a short ride yesterday, but just around the area.
Talk to you soon,
Gary

[Joey_Dude]

Hey Gary,

Ha ha, an ass-hurting day is always a sign it was a great day unless you're in prison! So far, we've got me, and maybe 2 other guys in georgia and 2 guys from north carolina and tennessee.

If Todd's coming, I'll bring some spare throttle cable for him ha ha!

I'm looking forward to the ride!

Damnnnnnnn guys can we please go Sat. the 27th. That would be much better, I just switched the other week to Saturdays off, and I just switched last weekend to go on the ride to Helen on Sunday. Long story short, count me in if its on Sat. Later

[DVMSVFR]

Sorry, I can't go on Saturday. I'll be working.

[Joey_Dude]

We already have the tentative date of 28th so we can't really move that to the 27th. Too many people are only available sunday. Oh well.

[Joey_Dude]

Ride is off... I hate to call it off but with the gas shortage I'm worried that if we go we won't be able to get back home. In my town over 10 gas stations are all out. Thank god I have a car otherwise I wouldn't be able to go to work tomorrow with my bike.

Once the gas situation gets better we'll do a ride. Sorry guys, it's all the hurricane's fault.

[derstuka]

I was just gonna ask you this exact question Joey....if you cancelled the ride. Awwwwww well, always next time...
