Just in case anyone is interested ...

As I mentioned in an earlier thread, a friend of mine and I are headed out towards the Tennessee / North Carolina area to ride the Tail of the Dragon, the Blue Ridge Parkway and whatever other interesting roads we have time for. Now then, we had a chance to go up in October with some members of the local chapter of the GWRRA but we prefer to go when the weather has a better chance of being decent.

 

It would be nice, however, to have a larger group, even if it's just for the trip up and back. Hopefully, more motorcycles in the group increases our chances of being seen by the cagers - at least those with their head up and looking rather than down and texting! So ... the point of all this! If there are any of you in my area (Or along the way, or whatever) who would like to join us, please PM me and I'll let you know our plans. Right now, the only thing we have locked in is our departure date - Sept. 7, a Saturday. You are welcome to join us for the whole trip, part of it or just the voyage there and back. If you like our planned route on arrival (Once we have it) you can come along or go on your own way and rejoin us for the trip back. We plan on being gone for 7 days, with an option for adding a couple of days should we feel the need to explore more. We've checked out motel prices and they are more reasonable once the summer tourist season is over. Splitting a $75 room two ways (twin beds, though - friendship only extends so far!) allows us to spend more time there.

 

Our plan is to be very flexible. Carved in stone, calculated right to the minute plans can take the fun out of a vacation in a hurry, so we are keeping ours open to last minute changes and decisions.

If you decide to ride a bit further south into Central Georgia there's a few sights to see if you can bear the heat and humidity here. Not so many twisties as the north Georgia mountains but a lot of historical and military history here should you choose to drop in. I'll even give you a tour of some interesting places should you make the trip to my neck of the woods.

That's what you get for poking him in the EYE.

We do have a few folks that run the roads up that way a lot and don't live too far. Hopefully they'll see this and maybe be able to meet up with you.
