Plannine a ride to Gatlinburg and Deals Gap the week May 21st-26th or 27th. Haven't planned one in a number of years. Riding from Raleigh out and back. Not a huge trip, but should be an interesting one. Interested? Let me know with a comment on the profile.

Sounds like a fun ride, wish I could make it over there!

Let us know all about it...probably I will have to wait a long time before I get a chance like that.Enjoy!

Not a problem. Will take plenty of pics and make sure I get an album posted.

The run out to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge to ride the Dragon and the surrounding roads has been pretty well finalized. Have lodging arranged in Pigeon Forge (sorta in the middle) and will branch out from there. Leaving Wake Forest, NC between 8 and 9am Saturday morning, May 21, 2011 for a leisurley ride out. Will leave on Wednesday morning, May 25th. Anyone interested in coming along, or meeting out there, let me know.

Ride safe!



Thanks Carrie. The return date has been corrected to the 25th!

Stan..... I can't wait. I'm already getting excited...... Talk to ya soon!!

Yeah, me to. First good long run of the season, for me anyway. Date has been corrected by the way.

Real bummer....unexpected costs (replacing water heater for $1400 bucks!) just blew my cash reserves, so trip will have to be pushed back. Late summer or early fall I hope.

If ya able to ride around the last week of June we will be in Maggie Valley for a week. Maybe we can hook up for a ride do some Gem mining or white water rafting plenty of stuff to do.

I'll keep it in mind Steven. Was planning the ride Carrie is taking, but then this water heater crap. I MIGHT have a cash reserve of mad money buit back up. We'll have to see.
