Ya I won't be getting there until the night of the 7th at the earliest, so I'll miss you.

Who else do we have as definites for this weekend?

 

Thanks Sprock, I got it in the mail today....

 

No sweat Indy & now for the real super top secret actual date .........LOL

 

Ok, I'm bumping this since it's been almost a week.

I'm still in (took 16 1/2 days off total)
Leaving the night of the 30th, ride till western CT, crash in a rest stop for a couple of hours, then power nap my way down on the 1st.

Staying @ the Super 8 in Front Royal (it's cheap, I get points, and I can find promo codes to knock the price down)

Leave on the 2nd for Skyline drive and some of Blue Ridge. Crash in Roanoke (2nd full day of riding is always the worst, figure a shorter day and recharge)

Oct 3rd, more Blue Ridge down to Ashville

Oct 4th, finish BRP and crash in Robbinsville.

Oct 5th, 6th, Dragon, Cherohala, tire change / maintenance

Oct 7th, travel to BMS

Oct 8-10 Museum, Vintage Festival, recharge day

Oct 11th, travel back to Deals Gap

Oct 12th, last run or 2 through area

Oct 13-15, slow ride home

I'm trying to keep the miles per day below 300 so I can enjoy the ride without burning myself out

 

All-Ride-tee!
I'll see if I can get on the road a day earlier and arrive in Front Royal on the 1st to meet you. Shouldn't be a problem. The Super 8 is ok by me, I've not checked out any lodging there yet.
Are you planning motels at all stops including BMS? In years past I have camped at the track.
I'll part company the morning of the 10th to head home, or hmmmm go back to the Dragon with you. The wife won't miss me but the dog will!

OK now, the rest of you guys need to sign on now, we are inside a month.

 

I guess I'm not gonna bother heading out there...seems like I'd be the only person at/around the Gap on the weekend of the 8th.

Y'all have fun, and I'll catch the spring get-together.

 

Hey Jim, I was reading on one of my other forums that the BRP between Roanoke and the NC state line is down right boring and to be avoided if you value your sanity. I'm thinking of taking I-81 out of Roanoke south to I-77, south to Fancy Gap and pick up the BRP there. should shave a couple of hours off

 

Hey not opposed to jumpin off the BRP for a break or if we need to make some time. I-81/I-77 could be pretty. I-40 thru the mountains at the TN/NC border is really great for a super slab. When I first thought about this ride I liked the idea of running the BRP end to end. Keep all the options open I guess.

 

2 Week(ish) Notice!

 

So which jacket?
