Just got off the phone with Iron Horse and I have changed from camping to a bunk house.


How many are staying over til Monday morning?

[XJOK2PLAY]

Out in the garage right now replacing some leaky (Leak Proof) fork seals.

Gonna ride up to KC this afternoon and load my bike up with Bigfoot and IMRICH and (SMDH) trailer my bike to the bike rally.

I may never be able to live this down.

Hmmmnnn... Well....
Now THAT'S funny, right there!

Drips with irony.

Normally we have at least 15+ that stay over Sunday night and check out Monday. Thats why I-H does a Sunday dinner. They normally don't offer a Sunday dinner, but with so enough people staying overnight Sunday they offer a dinner for our convenience. That works out great because we can take a nicer Sunday ride and know we can relax and have a nice dinner when we get back from our day ride.

See ya soon, yippie

The Lew Crew is staying until Mon a.m. as well thats 5 of us...;Were coming up tmrw and should be there by early afternoon...

[Bigfoot]

I am bringing a long haired Okie along with me. It was a last minute addition but I am glad he decided to come. Just gotta make sure he stays on the road this time

Its raining in Norfolk VA, same as last time we went this way.

Left Ottawa Monday afternoon and have gone south-east mostly on secondary roads through New York, Pennsylvania Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, enjoyed the Lucius J. Kellam Jr Bridge-Tunnel Rain mostly stayed away on the bridge and the Tunnels were dry, but torrents in Norfolk, so we are holed up at a Days Inn 100 miles short of our planned destination of Roanoke Rapids. Rain not too stressful but the knee deep water on the roads is another story.

Should arrive IH Friday around noon.

So you are saying you wanted to check out the remnants of a hurricane?
then drove right to it.

Sunny here and we hope it stays that way for the next five days. Weather for the rally is looking to be splendidly nice.

Big Top

Anybody have plans to stay in the Brents Big Tent if he were to bring his Big Tent?

Otherwise he will stay in the Bunkhouse or bring his small tent. No sense him packing the 5 man Big Top when nobody will be using it. Besides, weather looks to be nice. So no big tent unless he has some house mates that come forward.

Don't forget to fill your tank before you come in! Fill in Robbinsville, Bryson City, or if coming from The Dragon you may be able to fill at the Tuskeegee Motel.

[MaximPhil]

Packed and ready for an early start. Good to hear some of the late additions that are going to make it. Will be great to see the familiar faces and some new ones.

On Saturday am the ride groups will leave hopefully say 9:05 to 9:15. There may be some stragglers (probably me) that leaves later, say 09:30. You would certainly want to unload your gear before taking the Sat Ride. I wasn't sure where you were stopping at your friends Fri pm, if that was Knoxville or further north, but another option would be to get squared away at I-H then ride US74 to Sylva, NC107 to Cashiers, then US 64 in Brevard and join us for lunch there. We can get you registered (raffle tickets and shirt and sign on Sat afternoon. After the ride.

Have a fun ride heading south.
