Georgia Mountains Labor Day 2011

[Sleeperhawks Mechanic]

What a beautiful ride we had this weekend!

 

Met up with Riderduke and TC Friday night in Ashville. On Saturday early morning, Eck joined us after working his Friday shift and riding all night from Charleston. We rode the Blue Ridge Mountains, ate at Pisgah Inn with a gorgeous view of the mountains, (loved all the tunnels), rode through Cherokee, had to stop at DQ. We also saw five hot air balloons in air along the ride. Off through Robinsonville on Highway 74 with a ton of bikes and then onto the Cherohala Skyway.

 

Ran into a little rain along the way but dried out soon!

 

From there we went through Blairsville and then into Elliajay for dinner at Colonel Pooles. After dinner, we took off for Stone Mountain. We checked into the hotel at 9:45 p.m.! Eck was ready for a rest as we were as well!

 

Saturday morning we had breakfast at the Metro Cafe in Snellville and then off to Blackjack's to meet up with Terry and Janis, Muffinman and Margaret. Sling and Peggy arrived not too long after.

 

Konnie, Eck's wife met us at Provinos. Then Gray Ghost and his wife and another couple arrived to join us for lunch. It was a great place to eat!

 

We left with Eck and Konnie, Rick and Peggy. We got home last night around 7:45 and just taking it easy today!

 

Here are a few pictures!

Nice pictures. Looks like you had a great time, good for you all....

For Mechanic and I, the route was 730 miles, give or take a couple miles.

 

For Eck, add another 240 total.

 

For Riderduke and TC, they should most likely doubled the the 730 miles.

 

Going from Talicao Plains, TN to Blairsville, GA, Riderduke said that was one spirited ride.

All I was doing was heading south away from the rain

As always Bobbie, your pics tell a story. Nice shots. But one thing I couldnt help but notice.....that huge conglomeration of pot bellies.

Noticed that too, I belong to that group as well. Maybe we need a new forum started here for the ROYAL STAR POP BELLIES......

 

Pop bellied James here, and kinda proud of it. This is supposed to happen after 40 anyway aint it ?

Yes Sir, It was a little more then doubled....1703 miles for 4 days. We rode about 300 miles on the BRP total for the weekend. Hit some rain everyday but all in all it was a very good weekend. The meet and eat was excellent the food was wonderful and the company was also GREAT.

Special thanks to the Sleeperhawks and Eck for the spirited ride through TN and North GA. the roads are always wonderful in that part of the country.
