Did you take your snake with you?
|
He was eagerly waiting for me when I got home :lol:

So what's up with the receipt in the pic?
|
maybe next year I shall return.
|
Great pics guys. Can't believe I missed you by one week!
|
Man, every time I see myself or my bike in one of these pics I get a little sad. I'm totally just living that week over and over again in my head. After I got back we had an excercise, and the whole time I was sitting on UCC I was thinking "Man, I miss trees and hills." I can't wait until next time I'm able to get away.

I liked all of them. All over.

OH I liked riding it but I liked a couple of other roads way more.
Cherohala (until my friend wrecked) and my personal fave: Foothills Parkway! |

129 was the nicest, tightest road I was on down there. After coming back here, I can see that my skill has improved from riding it. Even more than a trackday. Definitely overhyped, but we missed most of the traffic so it wasn't as crowded as I always hear. Unfortunately, the mowing screwed up a lot of other roads around.
The Skyway was fun, but too fast really. More of an effort to slow down and watch the scenery than absolute focus on riding. A lot of the roads around Suches would have been incredible if they had better pavement. The one- Blood Mountain? three lane in places- gave me a false sense of security just because it had good surface. I got in over my head and had to force myself to slow down. I thought I was going to crack my head a few places on 60 with all the rock hanging almost out to the white line. |

Cherrycola is too easy for me to lose my job, foothills too. You can get federal tickets there, which are easily over $250, which are ones I have report or I will lose security clearance. |

129 through the Gap is the best road I have ever ridden.. when there is no one on it.
But since the days of riding it for hours without ever seeing another bike, car or cop are history I don't have a fave anymore. The Foothills is a good road, but like the lake ride, it was always a great place to win a Govt issued Performance award or a visit to jail. Once you got past the 1st hard left going up, you used to be pretty safe from official observation. "sigh" |
Quote:
Oh and Cherrycola is fun but after having a friend wreck at Mile Marker 5 and see him lying face down (thought he was dead) it's kind of taken some of the shine off that road for me. One airlift to Knoxville, one broken clavicle, broken shoulder, 5 broken ribs, and a broken tibia......complete with an hour long roadside wait up from the site a bit waiting to hear if he was even alive. Yeah some of the shine of that road has rubbed off for me. :( |
Quote:
Yeah, seeing something like that is always terrible. However, there wouldn't be any roads for me to ride because I know people that have gone down almost on all these roads. :lol: |
Well I liked the Cherrycola and the Foothills for the scenery too. It wasn't just the riding-ness of them for me. :idk:
Maybe it was because I felt a lot of pressure at the Gap that I didn't like it as much. :idk: I mean, don't get me wrong, I was still grinning ear to ear for most of that road! |
the BRC is even better than the cherahola IMO
|
I missed out on the ride they did to that one....but I did get to meet NinjaKel that day so that was better imo. :)
|
Oh I forgot to add this "little" guy that I got a chance to hold while in Helen. Not sure if you can see it but I'm FREAKIN out in the pic (scared of spiders).

|

Luckily for us it was on a slower day and there was not much traffic at all. |

You know, we haven't had anyone go down on blood mountain yet, let's stay away from that fucker.
We got the Skyway/Dragon/28/Richard Russell/Wayah all covered. Seems like all the big roads are hazards for us too. |

I had fun at both...But we did more and did it together at the "first" rally Just dont take us on a waterfall hike in full gear this year |

:lol: Was the second year the Trip/NTS/me adventure down the river? That was fairly epic, very small group that year tho...Im really down for the more hanging out, less randomly going in different directions. That's what always has made it so awesome in the past, and part of what made it less awesome this past year.
|
Tuving sounds like a good single day activity.

I think I had more bruises from my "rescue" than I did from the trip down the rocks. :lol:
|
Yeah, I think I'll pass on the hike in favor of riding. Especially now that I can keep up, unlike the first year when I made it everywhere 20 minutes after you guys.
