20 th anniversary this year! We will have to put together a real shindig this year in celebration. I guess time flies when you're having fun. Hard to believe we have been getting together for this many years but here we still are. So be sure to mark it on your calendar boys and girls cause we ain't getting any younger. Hoping to see our old friends and extended family the third weekend in September.. Thats 19, 20 and 21. Till then...

Getting closer isn't it? It will be good to see y'all again. I've been wanting to do the 178 run for awhile and lets do wolf pen gap backwards this time and include Richard Russell, watcha think? Still debating Cherohala but you pretty much make that run when you come down don't you? It would be good if Sneakypete snuck his way down this year too if he can pry himself away from work long enough. Has anybody heard anything out of Englishyank lately? Would be good to see our New Hampshire contingent make another appearance..Rob, are you listening? I miss Wojo too. Does Yota even have a bike anymore? It's okay if you don't, if you're brave enough you can ride the Sportster if you don't mind the vibration and lack of anything resembling a safety feature. Blackwind, Charlie and so many others through the years who once made regular appearances... it's time for a revival!

Wolf Pen and Russell are always good. Cherohala, I do sometimes take that route on the way down depending on how early a start I get. As you well know its a great ride, however from your starting point and return it ties up most of a day. I'm sure whatever you come up with will be great rides. Seeing everyone and hanging is just as enjoyable.
Speaking of those folks you mentioned, I've been poking and reminding them over on the Facebook forums. Along with some others that have never been down.
Lee Griffin ( Tsalagi) said he may come this year. Been a while since we've seen him. Newt will be in Michigan so he's out.
As I mentioned it will be great to see you guys and whoever shows up.

The knee is what it is unfortunately, still sensitive and unforgiving. Hey, we will give it heck though...ain't getting any younger but hopefully I have got a few more miles left in me. I know it's a long ride for you but you can tough it out.

I am trying to get there. Cannot ride due to hernia but I can drive a cage. It's also harvest time in NY for our legal crops and it's close...dunno. no promises but I'd love to see everyone.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Hernia's suck. I've had both the inguinal and femoral repairs. Years later they still bother/hurt. Such is life I suppose. Hope to see ya in September

I'll be in Dahlonega Thursday around 2.
All three guests have bailed on me so I'll be riding solo, but that's ok
I'm a great Solo rider. ????

Sad to say I will not be down this year.
Really wanted to for the 20th.
But I have worn a rally shirt everyday this week
And made a stop at my local dairy queen for a blizzard.

Amazing weather and connecting with old friends was awesome. I didn't mean to imply that these friends were old, it's just a figure of speech. I'm sorry...Interesting blend of olfactory nuances, retired leaves floating about, burnt plastic, burnt oil smells, grilled ribs and cornbread. I think one of us was wearing Jean Nate', I got subtle whiffs of it.
Hope to do it all over again next year...yay!
