I dont. Wish I did though. Last year when I was out of work slowmo and I went up into the mountains and had a blast.

I work for my self and usually have days off during the week when I don't have work or if I know in advance I can not schedule work if there is the
possibility of going on a ride, which I'd much rather ride during the week when there is less traffic.

Last Fri. wife and I rode up to 129-75-1/2 RRR-75>NC back 129 to Gainesville. Normally if we have a day off in the week I set to Mon or Fri. This Fri we're doing 52 to Ft. Mt. but we're staying the night with family. Shoot me a pm when you're off. I'm sure Ginger would welcome a girl along.

I have every weekend off and I ride somewhere every saturday :D But sometime my work load is slow in the week, so sometime I ride on weekdays, let me know when you ride and I will see if I can. :rocker:

I'm off for spring break from 03-Apr to 10-Apr

Riding during the week will be better for me instead of the weekends - weather permitting.

Anyone wanna go up Tuesday, 06-Apr-10, or Wednesday, 07-Apr-10?

I will do my best not to totally humiliate the youngsters this time.

And no gambling - unless you're from Tennessee, then it's cash only.

. . . but it looks kinda chilly!

On my way up one day last January, it was 36 degrees, then it got up to 55 later on. I just wear layers - works for me.

I'm up there on Friday - maybe the rain on Thursday will wash off most of the pollen

Anyone else?

glad it works for you. I have heated gear and still have no desire to ride when it's that cold! :crackup:

GreenToaster
04-06-2010, 05:23 PM
Time? Doesn't matter to me - I can leave whenever and get back whenever. FWIW, it seems the roads are less traveled before 3:30 or so.

What about 129 to RBR then Helen & north, then west?

And if anyone asks to ride the 1198 S, the answer will always be "No"

nah 60 aint bad, but it aint gonna be 60 at 10:30 and it aint gonna be 60 at all in the hills!

low of 35 and a high of 58 up north friday

I can throw on my thermal suit and be fine at those temps but my hands get cold even with liners. Wasn't brrrr'in about the high, which will only last about an hour, was brrr'in about the temp at 10:30

ok troy is making me second guess here....I dont like to ride below 50.....I thought 1030 am but maybe we should wait a little later in the day and I was talking shell top of 400? input greentoaster? and anyone else that cares to join ?

TroyBoy30
04-08-2010, 08:43 AM
we are gonna decide morning of I think. We would prob meet you guys at the top of 129 though. maybe around 1 pm?

Ok, now I'm really confused - who's Shell? Are you talking about Shelli Langstom, the girl I was riding with last year? She lives in Oregon now and she's about 120, not 400 but she does prefer top, definitely.

Input GreenToaster? With what? And who's going to input it and where! OMG, this sounds really painful.

Anyone who cares to join? Warning - you better bring a rope because I will put up a fight if this is going to turn into a gang-thing.


Or . . . did I misread something . . .

Perhaps I can help, if needed, I may be misreading your quote. Meet at 1000 hours at
Shell filling station where hwy 400 ends. Common meeting grounds and then you know the rest.

Well weather.com puts it at about 50 degrees that time of day. That is perfect riding weather, you don't know what you are missing out on.

So true!

I'm looking forward to this ride - I haven't been up there in a couple of months.

Folks you gotta remember, soon, it's going to be SO STINKIN HOT! I'll still be up there riding when it gets up to 90+, but it won't be nearly as fun as riding in weather like we'll have tomorrow. In the summer you really have to stop frequently to get cooled off and rehydrated - it's not "as fun"

Well ya'll missed a really, really great ride.

I met three guys and we all rode together - it was one of the best riding days of my life, honestly. Ya, a little chilly on the way up but what a great, great day.

They mentioned they use another sport bikers forum - started with the letter "B" I believe but I don't remember the name.

Wow, what an A W E S O M E day!!!
