The tires got a little bit scuffy - but my tires did not lose as much rubber as we normally do. I believe the difference was the cooler temperatures we were riding in - evidently riding in 90+ temperatures really accelerates tire wear!

Hay Carl

That date would be the June 25th and 26th. Weather permitting , that is Tongue

.

You ever stayed at Two Wheels of Suches Ga. ? Blood Mountain and Wolf Pen Gap are the named roads in the area , but the whole area is Dragon like ridding , maybe not as tight-twistiness but close.

You still got my phone # ? I can run up to the Dragon/Skyway for lunch on my was home then hop on Tn-30 to go home on.

Mike, No I haven't stayed there, the KSL is my traveling "home". I'm going up for the 4th weekend, then again in Aug. on my way up and back to my 50th reunion. It is a FULL days ride from here, but is a great half-way point for my trips to Buffalo and Western New York.
I have been looking for other events around, are they having that m/c hillclimb near you this year?

Mike, Post what is happening around you

I visited with my friends who run the bike shop below the Squair in Lynchburg last Saturday .

The only thing they are promoting this year is : a Flat Track Race over in the Cherokee area in east Tn. in September.
................

I haven't stayed at the "Kick Stand" in over a year now or ride around the area either. Maybe , it would be good to revisit to area before the summer is gone ?

.........................................

Our trip to Arkansas last year was nice . Its only one days ride to get there too !
The next dry spell we get I'll have to use to catch up on my hay gathering but the one after that ... I'll need to take a ride somewhere ! Wink

Great sunny day, the stream is babbling to itself, and the bikes are rolling up and down the road. I just have to leave a day early to make it home before a hurricane gets there. Darn weather! Only about 10 people are here for the holiday. Life is good!

Arkansas Trip Planning.

Last year the Arkansas trip was September 12 - 20 - give or take a day. Deb and I left home on the 12th and stayed overnight at a campground along the way....and arrived on Sunday the 13th. We rode all week and left on Saturday morning. In 2019 when Deb and I first went we were there a similar week.......the 15-22nd.

To repeat the timing - we have a choice of the 3rd week (12 - 18) or the 4th week (19-25). Your actual travel days may vary with the length of your commute.

The weather in September is generally very dry with only a few days of precipitation for the entire month. It can be pretty darn hot at times!

Does anyone have any preference about which week?

I would like to start the planning soon - so I can get the trailer spot reserved at the campground.

It takes you and Marcia a day to travel to Arkansas - so it sounds like you would want to drive to Arkansas on Sunday the 19th and ride the following week (20-25). That fits into what we have done previously - as Deb and I drive 2 days to get to Jasper. (We leave Sat 18 & arrive in mid afternoon on Sunday 19).

There is likely nothing really magic about having to leave on Saturday the 25th and anyone can stay a bit longer if they want.......in the past I have gone back to work on Monday - however we could stay a few days longer if the campsite is open. The pet sitter for Lily and the Stoopid cat is the only thing we have to restrict us on how long we stay.
