It's all ok with us. We have entertainment with Spoiler and can wait a loooooog time poking at him. Late September sounds great and how is the camping in your area?
Sky Line /Blue Ridge ride...interested ?
Putting out the feelers to see if there's any takers on a weekend ride of the Sky Line Drive and part of the Blue Ridge Pkwy.
I did this once for another group and it was a nice weekend. Starting and staying in Staunton, VA ( pronounced Stanton ) we'd ride the entire length of the SLD ( 105 mi ) on one day, and about the same miles South on the BRP the next day. I had a deal with the Super 8 there 3 years ago @ $59.75 per room. Haven't called the owner yet to see what he could do for me this time.
There's a little fun park next door, beer n steakhouse directly behind the hotel. Walmart accross the parking lot and a whole lot of eating establishments within a 5 min walk.
October would be prime for the changing leaves/trees. But I was wondering if Labor Day weekend would be better so most would have that "extra" travel day built in......comments or suggestions are welcome. Porkchop

She only drinks once a day... from morning to night.......Maybe we all need to start drinking..............Like Ms Debbie..........and we know what's for dinner..........
A different weekend, and I may be able to go....
(but if we are camping, I ain't making the popcorn this time...)
Debbie just drinks a little Whoop-Ass and that is all she needs for taking you out....me, I'll take a few brews and watch the show...Late September or early October sounds great, so does the camping. Get permission and lets roll.........She only drinks once a day... from morning to night....

October is promising.... Wife won't camp... I have a lot to learn. How the heck can you pack stuff on bike to camp?
Share items that are needed. If you are bringing a stove then I will not. If we are using a lantern then I bring one and you don't. If we are cooking, only one brings a pot/pan. Most will eat somewhere and use the camp for sleeping or quick easy meals that require hot water only. With a little practice you will be amazed at what you can carry on your bike. The real key is not to take what you can do without. When you pack all you think you will need, un pack it and leave half at home and soon you will know just what is really needed.
Its,
I would love to come along. Time will tell. Got a pretty busy Sept (vacationing in N. Myrtle Bch for a week), then October is mostly spent in Boone, NC at my brother's place (weekends that is). My wife is definitely not a camper. And of course there is always the $$$ stuff. Damn wish I had been following this a whole lot sooner....be anxious to see what dates come up.

I'd be in for sure if you started on the south end of the Blue Ridge PW. I'm trying to plan a ride with some friends in early Octoberish from the BRPW right around Asheville, NC up to around Boone/Blowing Rock, NC.
A good idea is to take an air mattress that is as big as the whole tent, that way you don't have any extra room for your supplies to get unorganized in.... And you can always get 4 or 5 guys to help jam the air mattress into the tent...Share items that are needed. If you are bringing a stove then I will not.

You up to another ride/camp and this time take the ladies? Let me know my friend......1st or 2nd weekend in October is looking pretty good......Maybe go down to Franklin, camp in Retro08's yard and start out from there for a full days ride or find a room down that way. Always have cabin #8 at Kickstand.....OH DENNIS!A good idea is to take an air mattress that is as big as the whole tent, that way you don't have any extra room for your supplies to get unorganized in....

What's your plans? I'm hoping to be out solo on Saturday, wife has family coming in.Are you looking for a partner in crime to start up a camp? Want to get together this weekend and discuss it? Sam and I are planning to do some riding Saturday and Sunday and may make an over nighter down that way!
As far this thread/ride goes: somebody throw out a route and let's get started.
I'll post all details by this Saturday 8/20........hotel, price, date......
I'm looking at probably 9/23,24,25....Friday pm, Sat, Sun.....

Will call tonight. Actually my brother has a cabin he rents. Small place but nice. He also has the 2008 VTX1800T. He would probably love to join in for a ride. Going out to his house tomorrow, and we are doing a 190 mile loop up into VA, TN, and back to his place.
