^ We're still trying to work out the details. I don't know what time the ATL crowd would like to roll up there since it's only a couple of hours away from us.

I reallly want to put my name on that list, but the wife is standing over me with the "you know that we have plans" face. It looks a little like this: I have missed the last 2 or 3 mountain runs, so I am ready for some adventure. I will keep working on her!



I have an idea--Maybe my friend Ty is moving to Tennessee that weekend and he needs help. Eh? Never mind, the wife just made this face:

Have fun guys!

LOL Corey. Tell her that if you're going to endure the family thing on turkey day, she can let you have a little fun with the boys for a day.

The first time I had gone to the Dragon, we had left around 9AM and didn't get back until 5PM. We made a couple of runs and ate lunch up there. Not to mention, we had stopped to take pics. So yeah . . . it's gonna take awhile if we're going to have this many people going up.

probably do at least three runs up and back, I believe its more than 100+ turns. On the bike it would last a good 10-12 mins with no traffic.

And buddy, you'd be work out but so juiced by the adrenal glands it wouldnt matter. And plus they got like the photo companies taking pictures of you goin thru the twisties.

One had a sick-nasty Evo.

Example of them taking pics:


and yes that was me

318 turns in 11 miles.

I have the sign to prove it.



That's not counting the Cherohala Skyway... the scenery along that road is absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking.

I'm going to assume that you're talking to me.


Yeah, we can meet up along the way. That will be good.

You're going to be in La Grange for the next month? What are you doing there?
