i think it is about 2 hours normal speed, which is about 4 hours for us and our stops and wrong turns.

We need to do the highland ride into franklin and get some good food too.

Goober! You forgot we had that whole discussion last year...about getting over to Blood Moutain!! (and the fact it was 2 hours away)

As long as you or Capt dont navigate I think we could make it!!

I second the trip to franklin tho, and another visit to the Falls would be nice!! Maybe we could hang around a bit this time. I am SO wearing my bathing suit under my clothes this year!

Honestly tho, I dont know that we want alot of traffic on "the road". We were mostly experienced riders and it was a cliffhangar, Id hate to lose someone, it woud take days to get them back out!

I won't take noobs on that road. I was scared to take Kat and Ebbs. After Kat's experience I will require people to have a decent amount of ability and a lot of self control before I take them on the road.

I honestly never even puckered... bad ass fuck'n road... but honestly didn't phase me a bit...

only got kat cause she couldn't flat foot her bike and those steep ultra slow corners made her feel like she was gonna fall over.
