When I look at the weather it still says "a thunderstorm in spots" for Thursday, "rain and a thunderstorm" for Friday, and a "strong thunderstorm possible" for Saturday......but Sunday did improve and is forecast for "partly sunny".
(I did refresh my browser just in case I was getting old news).
While we really won't know for sure for another 7 days what really is going to happen - I am hoping and praying for an even better forecast. And I suggest you still pack your rain gear just in case.
For my own understanding....
Wed June 10th (+/-) Lancer, Verslagen arrive at MMRanch's. Dave arrives at the Blue Ridge Campground in the afternoon.
Thur June 11th - Dave already at Blue Ridge by cabin #4, Oldfeller arrives in the PM.
Fri June 12th - MM's group packs up and heads to Blue Ridge Campground.....Oldfeller and Dave may ride to Tellico Plains to meet the group. Art Webb and Springman may be arriving at the Blue Ridge (Plans adjusted as needed to welcome the Texan's).
Sat June 13th - Riding
Sun June 14th - Riding......Dave packs up and heads home unless weather is irresistible.
Mon June 15th - Riding
Tue June 16th - Riding
Wed June 17th - Pack up and head home.
(Have I lost old_rider somewhere 10 pages ago?....Said he was coming and I just sent him a PM).
(projectfj was also very interested and I just sent him a PM).
Art/Springman: If you can arrive late Thursday or early Friday morning, we can leave the Blue Ridge as a group of 4 and meet MMRanch's group at Tellico Plains. This is a great ride with lots of long smooth curves, lots of elevation change, great views, a really nice River on the Tellico Plain side of the Skyway, and a river and Katz Deli to sit back and wait for the gathering. There is also a biker gear shop up the street in case you need some leather chaps!
