2talltim Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) I have this week off work all of my riding buddies can't go for one reason or another. I would like to head south for 4 to 5 days, maybe in eastern Tennessee/western NC mountians,the snake,blue ridge pky, maybe every go as far as deals gap. Im game into either spliting a room, or even camp along the way. I want to do this but I have reservations about going by myself due to safty reasons, and it would be more fun with a buddie. Id like to avoid freeways, but may jump on one for short spells. Anyone is open to join if I decide to do this regardless of your experience or type of bike, im a very patient rider and I don't plan on riding real hard on this trip, just make sure your ride is in good mechanical order. So speak out or PM me if you interested, ill be mapping a route sometime in the next week Edited August 17, 2011 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yup. I think we are going down on thursday. i can try but im going to say its a slim to non chance...they only let 10% of the work force off on vacation at once and holiday weeks are almost always full...ill ask tho..i could leave friday morning but that would be a day short and on no sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
