The 5 people that bothered to show up and new Ginger decided we want to do Little Swiss again next year. There is a ton to do there and we only got to scratch the surface. I want to do Callaway Peak at Grandfather Mtn and there is a bunch of little gravel roads that have potential. More than enough asphalt surfing for the street crowd and BRP for the scenery crowd. We still need to go explore Mt Mitchell too.

Big Lynn Lodge was amazing to us, so we are going to try and block out a building or more if we can get more people this time. They didn't mind our constant loud banter about strippers and porn during dinner and breakfast.

We are going to move the date back to the early june/late may time frame for next year. Any of you fuckers that skipped this time, interested for next year? We will probably start working on a date and blocking rooms at the beginning of 2012.

I absolutely want to come. Hopefully by then I will have a streetworthy machine to ride down that I wont worry about breaking down every 45 miles. I'm tired of having to miss these things.

its well worth the trip. We decided to check out the backroads by the hotel, we went past the hotel on the road there and holy shit it got crazy fun. I figured trip knew about it and he said he didnt, he figured we would just go that way.

NC 226A is probably one of the best roads I've ever seen, 190 mostly banked curves in 12 miles, 3:30 on a saturday and almost no traffic.

I was on it yesterday, sorry I missed you guys, I woke up too late to get up there before you all left yesterday. Family stuff kept me from coming on Saturday as I was in Clemson, SC at the game. 226A is only about 35-40 min from my house.

I think it's a great idea.

let me tell you this... I liked the lodge so much, that by the time I got off the BRP. I have another resv in a few weeks for the wife & I for a night while I join the leaf chasers. Luckily I'll be in the car so the traffic shouldn't bother me too much.

We love it too. We were there in June, found it by accident. Did a spur of the moment trip to met up with some friends from Florida. We trailored up in June since I am such the rookie rider, but last weekend we rode and I loved it. btw... did you guys hit rain... we had a sprinkle for about a half hour and not another drop all the way home.

My last 4 hours were steady thunderstorms in about 55 degree temps. My all-weather gear stopped holding off the water about 3 hours into the rain. That last hour was VERY cold.

Might be tough for me to make it to the next one. I'll be taking 2 classes during the summer session, which is basically 12 weeks crammed into 8 weeks. Classes start the first or second week of June and run through the first week of August. Also, my daughter gets out of school the last week of May or the first week of June, depending on how many snow days there are. I get to have my daughter more for half of the summer this year (and all future years) than I previously had, but not sure whether my half will be the first or second half yet. I'll let you know. Really hoping I can make it, but most of you know my commitment to my daughter well enough by now.

Don't know if this matters, but we're pounded at work. I'm not sure what time I'm available but if really want to come this year and six different guys have mentioned wanting to go on a bike trip with me, although that'll probably change when they find out it's not the Gap. But I know at least one is pretty serious, and I am. So the sooner we can hammer down dates the better it is for me. Tomorrow I'll try to throw some dates I have available, if it'll have any influence on the process. I hated missing the last one because of work and this year looks worse than last year. Seriously, we have five classes on board with two instructors and one more that won't teach.

The road the hotel is on is freking amazing and longer than the dragon, at least I think it is. Plus the BRP is right down the road and knowing things down there I am sure there are other good roads in the vicinity.

I have baby #2 comming in mid june so mid may is iffy right now but we will see as I def want to go but I need to see how the pregnancy goes too
