I'm gathering some of my routes and uploading them into myroutesmap app.
Anyone interested in a long day down into Georgia passing by Two Wheels Only? Some really nice roads down there I haven't checked out in years.
Right now I have 5 route plans we can pick from.
I am able to email the routes, the "Myroutemap" APP says it can be use on a Garmin. (? I'm not 100% sure?)
I have not made a GA route yet, but know most of it already! Cherohala to 68, to 60, all great road's, there's even a section of rt 66 we hit on the route back!

Not sure on your travel plans, but the Back of the Dragon, err VA 16, is going to be motorcycle only and one directional at times this weekend.
Just got back from a 3000 mile trip playing all around down that way and the locals seemed pretty excited about that.

More Mike marathon rides?
Maybe I should leave your new bike home and take the Wee instead![]()

I want to log on more miles than the last trip. Most routes are around 200 miles. Just options for us to decide as a group, or maybe break off into smaller groups for those that are up for it.

Won't be as hot this time, so we should be able to get some miles in. I'm on the SV though, so I'm not planning to do 12 hour marathon days.
Rides:
Wayah Road - Highlands - SC - GA
Cherohola - Tellico Plains - 360 - Dragon - Fontana Dam - 28

I think I'm finally done spending money getting ready for this trip!
This rachet straps to hold Jay's bike just put me over the top! No wait, maybe it was buying the Hypertrada??

Bring a gas can. Even a few gallons of fuel will help immensely if we need to top off before heading over the Cherohola (45 miles of mountains, no gas). I'd recommend waiting until you get to Robbinsville to fill up your bike tanks and spare can. That's some extra weight to haul 990 miles.

Can I pay you with a check for all the gas and the house when we get back?
Oh and I will be eating all your food all week and I'll add $10 to the check amount to cover that!

HA! I remember that.
I'll just assume I can use this chain lube that isn't mine. I mean if you guys are driving back anyways, then why should I pay for gas?

I have a Sena, and I just bought my girlfriend one. I packed almost everything I needed, but forgot the gas can, will make sure to bring it. Bike is in the pickup bed along with the ramp and toolbox. I'm not bringing my stands because of the limited space because I'm not bringing a trailer, hopefully I won't need them.
We're staying in Roanoke VA tomorrow night to break the trip up and get up to the Parkway for little bit. We'll be able to be to the house easily by 2 on Sunday, does anyone else know what time they'll be rolling in?
edit - Also, is that price correct? So I only owe $190? Score!

I checked the pricing again ($1300 for the week), it worked out to be $145 a piece. So yeah, you owe $190 for you both since you paid the deposit already. Cheap vacation!

Awesome! A little less than expected is never a bad thing!
Are you still home brewing? Are you bringing any?
Have a batch of Hef going now but it won't be carbonated in time.
Bring your libations of choice if you do chose to partake after riding is done each day. I'll be the guy in the hot tub enjoying a nice mojito.

I've never dropped a Grand. But even that amount for a week long vacation is very affordable!

Nice day of riding.
140 Mile's of 99% sweet twisty roads!!
Upper section of 28 N, to the crossroads, up the Dragon and across the Cherohala Skyway!
First issue with a Ducati resolved without costing a cent!
I Know I can't do to that again! But I know how to fix it if it happens again.
Definitely enjoy riding the new Bike!
I didn't take any pictures yet. So many from Year's past, maybe tomorrow! Need one with the new bike!

160 miles logged in, and for the most part avoided the rain. We did get a little wet ,not too bad.
Rt 143, to Rt28 south into Georgia, took War Woman Road. We had other plans for a longer ride, but the forcast was not looking good.
Not a great route but it was a quicker option back to the house.
Rt23 North back to RT 28 N into Franklin, NC to 143. Retuning to the house later after a short stay out of the rain while we kinda enjoyed dinner!
Returned back to the house with 2 more friends that arrived! The garage is now full!
