Hey Nate.
Yes as it gets closer we will set up ride times, and meet times. Basic plan is ride map. Meet places marked with approximate times.
Group ride one day, with the lead rider waiting for second before each turn and then on down the line of the riders to the last rider. Lead rider with most experince, last rider with most medic training and cell phone.
Most likely loop. Saturday.
Leave out from the house around 830, onto Cherohala skyway, Meet at the falls, onto Tellico Plains, late breakfast early lunch. Back around (I have the roads marked at my house but I am at my dads) to the Dragon, Meet at Crossroads of time. On to Hellbender, thru to Robbinsville. Back up to the house. It takes most of the day. Alternate routes stay at the Dragon and ride it several times then stay on 129 to 143 back to the house for dinner.
Grilled burgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, mac and cheese, salad, and dessert and any thing else we need for a vegitarin diet as well.
First night ride the dragon till you get tired of it.
Chicken tortellini alfreado (chicken to only part of it) , green beans, garlic bread, salad, dessert.
Sunday some people will leave but not all.
I will want to ride the skyway. I love that road, but other people may not like it as much. Pretty much open ride day.
Nobody has to do anything they dont want to.
I have a very cool route but it will be a all day ride to get back. I am going to leave thursday morning, and come back monday evening to home.
If people wanna pay extra I will ask Ron to accept shipment of Kansas city steaks and we will eat big steaks instead.
We will need coffee, but the filters and pot are already there.
Utensils, plates, cookware, and that stuff is all there.
Laundry soap isnt but the washer dryer is.
We could always do a night ride on the dragon too, but I dont think I would go, suicidal possums and all.
