It'll be interesting to see if they're open by then. We gave up on our hopes of May and rescheduled the annual 2-stroke meet to August. It does look like 28 and 129 in NC are open again.

maybe road upkeep. they do have rock slides occasionally that take out the road.

Wouldn't it be nice if once in a while one of the photographers would set up on the inside of a good turn?

I always take enough beer for the whole week when I go to the 2-stroke meet. Some things are not worth taking any chances with!

See post #2 in this thread.

It's scheduled for August 15th - 22nd. Interestingly, it rained and stayed in the 50s most of the week we had scheduled in May, so we didn't miss much.

ride report

left thurs the 14th. took the back way up to georgia guidestones. we gawked and took a bunch of pics. headed up ga77 went thru hart well and headed northeast to pick up 441. stopped at deepest hole east of the mississippi (tallulah gorge)
next stop franklin nc and pick up 28 and head for deals gap. this section of 28 is quite twisty so be on your A game. made it to the resort. checked in, ate, and made a run. all extra luggage stripped of the husky. ran great. shinko podiums felt quite stable. my buddy ridin my klr. opted to relax and start drinking. we did cherohala skyway to tellico plains to marysville us129. the top end of the dragon. ate some great brisket and headed back to the resort. return trip we did same as last year. great time.

yes deal's is fully open. in may, they had no beer at the store due to the dining hall(dragon's den)doing take out only. they are a dry county but they can sell beer inside the den. this allows them to sell in the store also. thankfully i had some r&r reserve to keep me going.
