Ride in WNC/Asheville tomorrow early afternoon?

[nantahala]

We're going to meet at the Hardee's at Exit 44 on I-40 (Smoky Park Highway) at 1:00 to head southwest.  Come on out if you want to join us.  There will be a VFR, ST, FZ1, and either a Tiger 1050 or an SV.  Brisk pace, unless a couple of these guys haven't recovered from the party last night or forgot to take their Geritol...  lightweights...

Great day to ride with most roads pretty empty.  I thought I saw you on 212 about 12:30 but apparently not.  Hope you guys had a great ride.

Was in church til late this afternoon otherwise I would have tried to catch you guys!  I will catch one soon I promise.  I would have skipped church today but we had a event to attend so it made for no good excuse this time.  Hope the ride was fun!

We had a very good ride today.  It did get pretty hot in a few places.  We took a wrong turn out there somewhere and ended up more south and hitting 64 towards the end of the day - we were shooting for getting over towards Franklin but didn't make it.  We came back on 64 from around Cashiers and it was pure pain riding behind a string of cars doing 30 mph...  Saw quite a few bikes out - especially Harleys and BMWs.

You caught the roads at a good time up north Rod.  With the storm that just came through there is probably crap in the roads up there now.

Everybody have a good week.  And remember that Wednesday is bike night at the Wedge down on the river in Asheville.

Sometime we have to hit a ride at oh dark thirty on a Saturday.  Once you hit lunch time the roads just seem to clog up.  64 is a fantastic road BUT you have to hit it just right.  Sunday morning is best but later in the evening it is OK too.  It has a lot of traffic during the week too.  That's why I avoid it most of the time.

Good night at the Wedge.  About 15 bikes there. Jamie James came by with a couple of his R1 clients.  The place is getting really crowded now though.  There was something with the local breweries competing for going to an out of town event and the judging was going on tonight so that bumped up the crowd.

Weather is looking good this weekend for a ride...
