RandyShields Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Looks like 520 miles round trip from Charlotte, which is doable if we are not experiencing a blizzard. Tentatively in. Link to comment

But Mark - If you Canadians would just stop your Export Dumping the worst of the worst Cold Air from blasting our way, those cute cuddly furry things could be out where they belong and we could ll be out riding!

Dave, my fellow Canucks send it down this way, so it will be warmer up north. You just have to suck it up, and be a man! Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) By the way Dave, you do realize this event's in mid-February, right? ... You just have to suck it up, and be a man! Yes I do. My initial plan was to make the March SECFF. When I shared that plan with the Virtual Principal (and Midwife) here, I was scolded for such a silly thought. After all, the March SECFF would be another 40 miles or so longer ride for me (as if by this point that matters!), so the challenge was thrown down for a Feb SECFF - apparently the the wise Principal felt that The Challenge of Rain, Snow, Sleet, Freezing Rain, Ice, Black Ice and nasty Thunderstorms (like the kind that prevented me from making it last year, forcing me to enjoy the great roads and weather around Tellico Springs) are nothing for a geezer like me - but the additional 40 miles the March SECFF would entail most defiantly and unquestionably be way too much to even contemplate - let alone do - for an aging, decrepit and partial Bionic Hoosier. And now you're telling me to 'Man Up'. I guess that means you're up for the Feb ride too? Edited January 19, 2018 by workin' them angels Link to comment

Id's_OK Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Love to! Sorry I missed the most recent one. Is this going to be a day trip for everyone or does anyone want to camp out Sat night!?! Link to comment
Bernie Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Love to! Sorry I missed the most recent one. Is this going to be a day trip for everyone or does anyone want to camp out Sat night!?! Good evening Christopher, let me try to answer this question. This is normally just a lunch only meeting and almost everyone makes a day trip out of it. But there are always exceptions to the rule, for example when Foot decides to slip-slide down the mountain. I think he makes a 2 or 3 day trip out of it and stays overnight with one of the ATL guys. I think Lawnchairboy, who shows up sometimes does something similar. Also keep in mind, some of the small towns that we meet don't even have a motel or campground to speak of. Send a pm to some of the guys along your route and see if any like to meet up along the way or something like that. MikeB60 and his wife ride over from Phenix City, AL some month and they would be a halfway mark for you. I hope you can make it. PS: if the weather is really bad, you can come in the car. Of course you have to prove you are injured, a paper cut will do. LOL Link to comment

That looks pretty reasonable, and that's around Indy, of all places. I'm even more impressed, given your recent hip surgery! As for a lunch, anything's possible (but not necessarily probable. :-)) Edit: I just checked, and it's 685 miles one way! Hardly a day ride. Edited January 28, 2018 by marcopolo Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'm planning on heading that way probably Thursday, for sure Friday - weather depending. If it's real wet and frigid, I'll trailer into TN. I'm pretty sure you'd have to bring your own Cork Screw and wine glass though . . . Link to comment

Bernie Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Bump bump. Only one more week. I don't think the GSA could see it's shadow, so Winter must be over by now. Lol 😂 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I see a birthday cake so this calls for a Happy Birthday Bernie! And, I need to move to Georgia. Pat Link to comment
Bernie Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Thank you Pat and come ooonnnn down! Lots of room in Georgia and lots of red clay roads to explore. Edited February 9, 2018 by Bernie Link to comment
terryofperry Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Weather is looking decent for this time of year. Irwinton forecast. Terry Link to comment
RandyShields Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Schedule is cleared but odd weather forecast. 30s-40s and rain forecast for Charlotte, but 60s for Colunbia SC and south, with much less chance of rain. So it looks like the front is somewhere in between. Will see how it looks Sat, but bike and rider are ready if it looks like I can break through and not have cold rain for the whole ride. Need to get the K bike warmed up for some post-retirement touring! Link to comment
Bernie Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Come on Randy. It should be warmer than it has been. Link to comment
MikeB60 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 DyAnne and I are in. See everyone on Saturday. Link to comment

Indy Dave Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 My work here is done. I think I successfully kept Mrs. WTA from a sound nights sleep, and the dog is excited thinking she's going to get fed early. Hanving set chaos in motion at the abode, it's time for a cup of coffee and I'll my boxer into the wind. Next stop, Helen, GA. Link to comment

Bernie Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Great I am glad Ron and Christopher can make it as word on street has it that two others had to withdraw. One for reasons of having the flue and the other decided to break his bike so he didn't have to ride. Bummer. Link to comment
