Note to others on this ride - I believe I will be staying at the Deal's Gap end of the dragon - anybody staying there? This is the store/motel that sells the "I slayed the dragon" t-shirts.

I'll be near Fontana Dam. I think it's the same end of the Dragon as Deal's Gap.

There are a whole bunch of places that sell Dragon t-shirts. I plan to stop in every freakin' one of them -- that is, after I've actually ridden it. Wink

(I think it's considered bad luck to wear the shirt before you do the ride.)

I honestly don't know at this point. It's roughly 215 miles to Talihina for me, so maybe a 4.5 hour ride, including fuel and rest stops. I know I want to do it. Taking care of business at home and work may not allow a full weekend away though. I just can't predict that far into the future at this point.

Hey a weekend thing is cool with me. I don't know if that will increase the odds. I know this ride is centered on a long event, but participation in any form is better than none.
