El Paseo Count, Smokies, Nov 7-9


David

Recommended Posts

Hey, folks, I need to get a rough count on the people attending. The original announcement was here.

 

Ken has got all our rides together, and I just need to make dinner arrangements that night. It'll be similar to last time. My John Judge will be our chef. He did pretty good last time.

 

And don't forget to make hotel reservations (see earlier thread).

 

You coming?

 

You going to be there for dinner? How many of you?

 

Can't wait to see you all again. smile.gif

DAMN! I wish I could go, but a friend is getting married that weekend and my wife is in the wedding (rehersal on Friday...wedding on Saturday). That just stinks!

 

I'm going to try to make a trip to the Smokies before the weather turns cold.

 

You guys have a GREAT time!

David,

 

I will be bringing another firend as well. He has a new 1150R like Brynda's. He doesn't ride like her though. grin.gif

Steve,

I can't ride like Brynda either! I think her form is better than mine now. She told me the other day that she was backing off so I wouldn't feel preasured to ride faster tongue.gif

You gotta love a woman like that! Not only does she ride well, she makes you feel 2" tall when doing it. God bless america!!!! Way to go Brynda.

Well my friend, I have Miami vs. Tennessee tickets which I might not be able to use (depending on scheduling) since we have a family wedding that evening. Since they're both in Coral Gables, I might just have to get drunk at one and go to the other anyway.

 

But you almost had me at....

DAMN! I wish I could go

Hi David, collar bone all healed up now and ready to finish that ride this time if we can keep Peter up on two wheels, just kidding Peter. I have reservations already and will be bring Gene Brock alone and we'll both be there for dinner also. The El Paseo ride back in April seems just like yesterday. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. smile.gifsmile.gif

Is there a group going this year? If so, which day? I missed out on that one last year. (If memory serves it was snowing at the time and the road was closed on me over the mountain)

 

P.S. Chad, if I see you headed the other direction, this time I'll turnaround and chase you. (Of course I'll probably have a brainfart and think "Wow, that really looked like Chad, blue stich and everything, but that's not a GS! Who is that guy?)

David,

 

I am looking forward to finally meeting some of the contributors to this great discussion board! Plan on arrivng early Friday morning. Please include me in on the dinner.

 

Do you have a rough count on how many have said they are coming so far?

I just talked with the manager. He had originally agreed to hold the rooms for us until today. To date we've snagged 24 rooms. I don't know how many people that translates into, with doubling up and other hotels, but we'll hold 10 more until noon EDT on Wednesday (two days from now). So if you are thinking about coming and don't have a room yet, snag one. You can always cancel later. 828/497-3118.

 

See you soon! smile.gif

Put me down as an IN.

 

And I might have 1-2 people joining me in addition to the usual suspects.

 

A bud with an ST1300 who bought the bike for stuff like this but never gets the chance now has a big fire lit under his ass to join me. He's starting to come up with a scheme that makes it work. Drew Anderson on his T595 has been contacted. We'll see where he is at that weekend as well.

Can I test his bike? I'm always careful. tongue.gif

I'll bet you could. But I've got first dibs, still haven't run into him at a time I could test ride it. I'm sure he would trade some seat time on the ST4s. smile.gif

The rides will start Friday, around noon, from the Best Western. Dinner will be informal. Nothing planned. Then an all day ride Saturday and a planned dinner.

 

Temps should be 40-60 degrees.

 

We'll have fun! grin.gif

Mr. Zoom, FWIW, my plan is to leave Thursday morning. Not sure if I'm going to stop part way to enjoy Friday morning refreshed, or just ride through. But it's likley I won't be keeping a "Zoomy" pace either way.

And...John Judge will do the same dinner for us as last time. Prime rib, baked potato, salad, drink, and desert. I can't remember what it cost last time, but I'll look it up. I guess this is all part of the "UnPlan" theme! smile.gif

 

Ken, can you have printed routes for us?

 

Schedule:

 

Friday, 1:00p: leave from Best Western parking lot for ride. Dinner on our own in smaller groups.

 

Saturday, 8:00a: leave from Best Western parking lot for ride. Dinner together at 6:30 in adjoining restaurant. Pay at the door.

 

Any questions? grin.gif
