Howabusa Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Glad you finally got a weekend off. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted October 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Thanks ya'll. I've need this little trip for a few weeks now. Shit at my job has hit the fan and I've been working so much.(12hrs 6 days a week)Ive literally never been so close to quiting my 23 year job ever. The bike has been packed up and ready to go for over 2 weeks but couldn't get away due to work. I was about to unpack the bike Sunday when my beautiful bride told me to stop and try again this weekend. Even she knew i was at the end of my rope. Just the slab down through WV tonight was such good wind therapy. Already feel less tension and already getting a zen feeling just being out and about on 2 wheels. Stay at a hotel tonight and will ve hitting "the snake", BRP and other road off of the brp brp tomorrow. Will probably have dinner at Cafe Rel and head to the gap resort where ill camp for 2 nights. As usual ill post pics as the weekend goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howabusa Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I know what you mean. I was feeling pissed off and stressed out. 270 miles on the bike made it all seem better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted October 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hotel breakfast this morning. Went down to the lobby to see what the offerings were and to my surprise everything was completely cleaned out all the bowls dispensers were empty. Another couple sitting in the breakfast area said a group of construction workers cleaned out the breakfast supplies this morning but the hotel attendant said he would be back with some stuff to restock in about a half hour. So I went back to the room took a quick shower went back downstairs. The hotel dude went to Hardees bought probably $100 worth of breakfast sandwiches and biscuits and gravy and set them out for the remaining Hotel guests and apologized for what happends. Some hotels would have just said fuck it that's all we're putting out but this place went out of their way to make sure the remaining guests got something to eat. So although @Tonik says the Super 8 in Abingdon sucks I highly recommend this place inexpensive decently clean and they take care of their guests even when the unexpected happens. Funny thing is the construction workers got continental-style breakfast Bagels cereal ect. But we got hot breakfast sandwiches and biscuits and gravy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSerfozo Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Loves me some Hardee's breakfast sandwiches. I never pass one up when I'm in the south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Mac Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I would have thought that Tonik would have staid at the high class "Martha Washington Inn & Spa" with his Honda Gold Lodging Card. I stay in Abingdon, VA. when I ride the Mid Atlantic Back Road discovery route that starts in Damascus, VA. Nice area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So perhaps the update was after I was there last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the place I've always stayed on my way to Waynesville (taking the long, slow route) and never been disappointed. Yeah, it's not the Ritz-Carleton, but for $60 it's always been clean and well run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted October 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Damn fine day of riding so far. Stopped for Jesus chicken in Asheville. Weather is perfect. Couple hundred miles to go. Headed to the gap. BRP, SMNP, Foothills, dragon is the rest of my day. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Got to Deals Gap later than i thought. Hit the new section of the foot hills just after sunset the sky was a brilliant red color. Had the VIRB camera running hope it caught it. Also was running video on my night run through the dragon. 20 min from the lake to the gap store. Not a bad pace considering how sketchy it is at night. You use a whole different skill set running like that at night. Got here and got my tent set up. Drunk dude next to me passing out bud lights, i ain't mad about it..lol. Not sure tomorrows plan. Proably skyway and maybe cafe rel. They have the season finally of the fidy races at the gap store tomorrow night should be a good show as always. Couple more pics of today. Got a bunch on the VIRB camera but didbt bring the laptop. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
