Thnaks for the heads-up, Jeff!

I planned on riding through that part of the East around then. I will seriously consider building my spring run around this destination. -Capt

Not too sure. I've been wanting to do the ride for a few years, now, but always have something else going on. My wife is riding her own bike, now, and doesn't care much for groups, so if we have a bike riding vacation available, I think she'd prefer to do something else, but......I may talk her into it.....we just need a babysitter for the weekend.

I expect to be there! It has always been a great time.

Funny I actually stayed at that Quality Inn on my way back from the "Dragon" a few years back. Alas, not enough vacation time , my bike trip this year is the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec.

You and Pete Egan, eh?

Yeah, sort of, I had already made my plans and then my Cycle World showed up with that article in it. Gives me a few pointers on places to stay. Though I will have two of my riding buddies with one of whom being of French Canadian descent speaks fluent "French" or Canadian version thereof so that will help.

Thanks for the reminder. I think that I'm in.

Hate I'm going to miss that - since I live in North Carolina - but I'll be riding in the Pyrenees.

 

[JohnBoy]

And the $50 registration is for..........?

 

[NCRick]

Hey John,

The club provides sodas and pizza at the Hotel on the Friday evening, a diner with door prizes on the Saturday night and you get a tshirt. Come on out! We have a very relaxing and fun time. I get to ride a bunch of roads that are too far from here for a day ride. We talk $hit, kick bike tires and drink beers in the parking lot in the evenings. If the weather is going to be good, we could hook up and ride there and back together. What do you think Butch? I know that Marvin will make the trip.

 

[JohnBoy]

Rick and butch,

So are you planning on staying on Mt Airy for the weekend or commuting back and forth to Asheville?

If either of you are interested in staying in Mt Airy, let me know.

I may just ride up Saturday morning and join in on the fun.

Thanks

Don't go off the edge of the road and watch out for cattle and cattle grates..

Oh and and have fun.

R1200GS! I've been on the TDI route in the Alps! Can't believe people actually ride bicycles through that.

 

[butch]

Rick, I plan on attending, talking shit and drinking beer are a few of my favorite things.
JohnBoy I think that I would be staying up in Mt Airy.
All of this is pending approval from the little boss lady. (See I'm talkin shit already)

 

[JohnBoy]

butch,

All three days?

You wanna split a room?

 

[NCRick]

Riding up and back would be cool. We usualy head out Friday morning and come back on the Sunday.

 

[rocha2000]

I'm envious. Beautiful part of the country you folks have. Was down there probably about 5-6 yrs. ago and met some great people for a few day rides.

Seems like the Blue Ridge can be a bit too tempting for serious corner carving. If it wasn't for our litigious ways, I'd say it's ripe for an Isle of Man stage.

 

[butch]

JohnBoy, I am thinking that I will head down on Fri (AM) and returning Sunday, but I am pretty flexible. Yeah bunkin up sounds good. I'll send you a PM and we can work out thr details.
