If people want to come to this area, alone or in groups, I am happy to let them chase me around some fine roads and let them catch up when I find a favorite watering hole or food trough.

When Lancer and Springman were considering coming down, I figured it would be best for them to work it out when would be best for them.

Didn't work out at all.  No big deal.

If people want to see what it is like to ride around here (at least where I go), check out the pictures that I post:

All the pictures I post are "public", so you don't have to "friend" me to see what I am up to.

Blue-Bells and Indian-Paints, huh ......   is that a brand of eye shadow and rouge?

In the middle of the night the tent zipper Ziiiipppps down and you turn in your bag, getting out your flashlight and turning it on ......  

EEEEEK !!!!!



You guys knew the Sisters were Twisted, right?  

The one on the bottom always gets kinda dirty, all writhing down there in the dust all the time you know .....

She's the Dirty Sister.

MM jest can't wait to meet her .....  NOT !!!   And he wonders why I carry a half axe with me as my get-up crutch.   Me, I'd rather wrestle with a marauding bear, any day .....

Funny you should show that picture.  I rode escort (cat herder) on a benefit ride of his at the 2010 ROT Rally.  Nice guy actually.

THESE EVENTS ARE IN PLANNING AND DISCUSSION RIGHT UP TO THE GO DAY -- THE CONCRETE HAS NOT SET COMPLETELY YET UNTIL IT IS OVER.     I am still plugging in names as people show interest, this gives us a tool for seeing who is really going plus the folks who are going can start the refinement process on dates and activities.

So far we got the following in the rough order of doing them.   Adding something is easy, talk it up some, put a firm date to it and we will see if folks are interested by if they sign up for it.



Santeetlah Lake Exploratory Trip   April 23, 24, 26   Charles,  Kent,  Jeb,  MM,  Oldfeller

This is a free trip.    Six Man Cabin has been reserved by prepaying for two nights.    We still have some floor space open in the cabin.   Trip is now open to CMA riders and "other group" riders that you can personally vouch for.   We are staying in a six man log cabin on the lake itself near the junction of Tapco Rd (Dragon road) and the Cherohola Skyway -- outside of Robbinsville, NC.

Lancer Oklahoma trip    extended to 19-28 May   Lancer,  Kenny G,  MM,  Springman,  Verslagen,  Justin,  Springman's BIL Steve,



Kickstand Lodge   June 13-18    Dave,  Oldfeller,  MM,  Stewmills,  RaleighGuy

From here it is a short hop up to the Dragon, and to all the really neat surrounding roads we love to ride.    For East Coast beginners, this is one of the closest (and the BEST) Southeastern trip possible.   Some have argued the area is the BEST BIKING IN AMERICA and I might have to agree with them.  



Indian Paintbrush Campground in Ty Denver  Late July  NEED FIRM DATES   Verslagen,  Springman,  old.indian, Thumperclone



MM's farm     Sept 8, 9 & 10    MM,  Oldfeller,  Dave,  Lancer,  StewMills



And here is a tool to use in locating some no cost camping when travelling to get to the rides:

Ditto.
I found a lot of corrosion on the decomp controller connector.
I hope that was the cause for poor bat life.

Oh, I forgot to mention it, but my brother-in-law Steve and his Hurley will be joining us. He and MM may even ride in together part of the way.
