Fw: Georgia HSTA ride

Listers,

Come join the Georgia FJR Riders Group and the Honda Sport Touring Association for an informal ride to Carolina Smokehouse BBQ in Cashiers, NC on Sunday, June 22. All Riders and All Sport or Sport Touring Brands are welcome. If you're not familiar with our groups, we tend to ride at a disciplined sporting pace for longer distances and often take multi-day group rides together. You can read about us at http://www.ridehsta.com/hsta and http://georgiasporttouring.com/default.aspx

Our destination offers a fun and challenging ride up through the little town of Tiger followed by a gas stop & break in Clayton, GA. We'll then ride the whoops of WarWoman Road, and enjoy the river and heavily forested twisties along GA/SC 28 and SC/NC 107. The BBQ at Carolina Smokehouse is fantastic.

Steve Tucker, GM of Moto 400 has graciously provided a $50 gift certificate for us to award and, of course, invites everyone to visit the dealership open 7 days per week for your convenience. Moto 400 is on the left of GA 400 about 1 mile north of the Outlet Mall. Take the left on GA 53 and then the first right & head toward the Cinema.

Breakfast is available at Lorena's Food and Spirits on the site adjacent to Moto 400. Breakfast fare is appetizing and very affordable. Seating begins at 9:00 AM on Sunday.

If the weather looks chancy for the Sunday, June 22 ride, I'll post a cancellation or "wet ride" notice on Saturday. If we have a cancellation, we'll try again the following weekend on Sunday, June 29.

We'd like to have everyone gather for a riders meeting promptly at 10:45 AM. We'll go over some suggestions for the ride and will welcome some ride leader volunteers. Our goal will be to be underway by 11:00 AM. Please have enough gas for 75 miles. We'll be doing a gas and rest stop at the BP in Clayton just north of the main intersection on US 441.

Your ride back can be as you choose with the opportunity to re-do our route or travel to Highlands and then do 28 south to WarWoman Road.

It will be appreciated if you let us know you're coming on this ride by posting on this thread. Anticipation is contagious. Let us know if you're excited to do this mountain ride.

The roads on this route are great. Lots of good twisties and opportunities to stop if you desire. And of course, there's food.....

Eric
