Looks like I have to bail out of this gathering.
We have a vacation for the family planned in Florida and I was planning on riding with y'all during the weekend and then riding down on Sunday. It turns out my son and daughter are arriving at the beach on Friday and will be leaving early, which would only give me a few days with them. Since I only get to see my daughter once or twice a year, I need to maximize my time with her. Tough to choose between two families. Let me know if you need my room. I'll be calling in a couple of days to release it. |

Paul and I are in. I am awaiting some parts for my GTS that were sent to be powder-coated a month ago. Everything is supposed to be in hand towards the end of the week and hopefully everything goes back together without a hitch. We are planning on arriving Wednesday afternoon.

Have you heard anything about alternate choices, OAD? My mom doesn't like ribs, though she and my dad will be glad to mark their names down for steak on Saturday...
Kevin, I can definitely understand putting your family first. We'll miss you greatly, though. I guess you'll just have to convince OAD to go for a make-up trip or something... Mark |

Mark Mike has other items he talks about for food the ribs and steak are options only and by special requests. |

I've been worried about a few things. So, for the good of the order, I took a little road trip yesterday. I can confirm the following:
Spring in TN and NC is just as good as it gets - beautiful day! Tellico Grains bakery still serves a great sandwich. Cookies too! Cherahola Skyway is still the best ~50 miles of roadway I know of Deals Gap still has the same tired collection of shirts and stickers Kill Boy has new stickers this year, as well as the old standards The Dragon is still fun and the road is in great shape, though busy for a Wed - more below. All in all a fabulous day, but 470 miles in one day is close to too much for this fat boy! But, I encountered more loonies on the Dragon that don't understand the concept "stay in your lane". Sport bikes doing their lunacy including one guy screaming around a corner, bike fully over center line and he's leaning out with his knee - fully covering 1/2 of my lane. Bunch of wanna be sports car enthusiasts that can't drive. And a pair of Harley cruisers, two up, casually motoring thru MY LANE in a corner. Takes a lot of the fun away when you can't depend on having your lane the length of the turn. See everyone in two weeks. Postscript - anyone talk to GeorgiaGirl lately? |

At best I could do a Long Day Ride, leave early... get home by dark. Bring a Computer with me for just in case. I think you have the routes posted OAD, I will try and look at them and see if the Saturday one would work for me, or at least be able to show up along the route somewhere. (Thats what I did for the last one I was able to participate in some years ago.) I was hoping one of the routes would go towards North Georgia.

Well, the current LT forecast is for more than "mountain sprinkles", but in two days of looking at next weekend, the rain chance is down to 50% - it was at 80%.
The only way the weather guessers could even begin to be correct this far out, this time of the year, is sheer luck. The Almanac has an equal chance of being correct. |

Gathering
Well peeps I'm finally home now recovering from my accident in Feb. While I was in the rehab doing some PT on my legs so that I can be better by next year for the gathering. I have bought a new used MP3 500cc with 350 miles on it and I think the first owner only rode a couple of time and then store it until now and I had the dealership change everything and put on better tires. I hope to see ya next year and be safe.

Weather update
Well, as the date draws near, the weather guessers are improving the outlook, but it still projects pretty good chance of rain. However, the showers are simply "scattered", which means we shouldn't have a total washout.
I got a PM from Willie indicating that he and his crew are going to take a pass because of the weather, but would try to come next time. I will be there, rain or shine, and hoping that the weather guessers are wrong! |

OAD, I talked to my parents last night about ribs/steak. Sounds like it's 2 for ribs on Friday and 2 for steak on Saturday (though not the same 2...). The odd one out will just order from the regular menu.

Packing up and heading out 8) Going by Atlanta Gee A to visit with my sister.
Bring package for Sticky as a commendation for all his tireless hard work in getting "Back in the Saddle Again" (Footnote: the Gene Autry version was got a lot of play time with the local bands when I was in RVN) Meeting up with OaD Thursday for the ride over, we are also meeting up with Ponydrv. It will be nice to see and ride with everyone again. |
