Shouldn’t you two be separated by a few more spaces than that . I see stories coming from this arrangement.

I moved my spot twice . Keith keep following me . Can you get kicked out of the Appalachians ? We'll try ! Lord mercy .

I feel stalked ..

As long as I don't feel banjos LMAO

 

[mastiffdave]

You should just stick to fishing , it’s safer.

All I know is I hear Banjo's and I'm out! Mikey don't play that!
Wonder how much space I'll have in the luggage for anti-banjo accoutrements aside from the standard issue?

Ah no worries -- I don't have to be fast, just faster than Chong -- and playing fairis not an option at that time!

Hi,
So EZDog and I are looking at meeting up around Bristol TN +/-
We planning on using a camping spot that would be near the rides . And have hotels close by .

This would be something like our regular gatherings that meals, campfires etc. can be shared together.

We would probably get there Thursday May 23rd and break camp Monday (Memorial Day) May 27th .

Between him and I we have equipment for food preparation.
Of coarse some meals would be at stops on rides as they play out .

Rides are not all selected yet, but one we are liking is a loop that hits The Snake, Widow Maker, and Back of the Dragon . Map says 6 hours, but we plan on cutting out the south east leg which does not include the above mentioned spots. So that might save 1.5 hours which would probably get used up on lunch and fuel stops . We would like to stop about every 45mins to 75mins for fuel and or breaks.
Map is attached.- Dragon Snake Loop

Tophats ride .. we are unsure that we will connect with them. It's not out of the question but not absolute.

Another note: If you decide you want to do your own thing for a day or whatever we won't be butt hurt.

Tail of the Dragon, we don't plan on hitting that . It's a fair ride away (3 hours) and will probably packed on this weekend.
There is planned resurfacing there this year too but no dates are set as of now that I know of.

Anyone interested please comment.
We are wanting people to join in !

I asked for that information from you long ago and you failed to provide me with any details. As a result, we made other plans. Being as we're an hour below where you are staying/starting from, we might intersect at some point or maybe be able to meet for a meal but your ride looks a little more aggressively paced than what the 4 of us are likely to do. I doube we'd get aout at 7 to meet you guy at 8am.

Awesome!
Bikes are shined, fresh fluids read to rock.
All I have left is pack the trailer.
Tow rig, is ready !

We'll have a blast .. I've talked to EZ Dog and Big Mike .. They are both locked !

Too bad few more couldn't make it. There is no shortage of ride possibilities! I'll be bringing a Butler Map which has about a year's worth of ride options !

See you when you get there !
May arrive late wendsday so I won't be travel toast Thursday. But my official check in is Thursday .
