Roads second to none!

Just finished installing rear PR4, All Balls steering head bearings, and changed fork oil in the Strom.

Brick,
See you next week!

Excellent! See you then!

With two of our finest events coming up over the next two weekends, I can't believe there haven't been any forum posts for the last couple of days. Maybe everyone is just "getting ready".
I'd love to come over to the Big Lynn Lodge, but of course, it's sold out. In previous years we had our local Ride For Kids event near the end of July, so it was a conflict. This year our RFK event has been moved to October, so I don't have that problem. However, I do have to be in town for some work Sunday morning and a family gathering Sunday afternoon. I've considered coming over and pitching my tent at Crabtree Meadows Campground just a few miles down the Blue Ridge Parkway. We'll see how things go as the week goes by.

Geoffrey yes the BLL is sold out BUT there are rooms at some of the three other closest hotels. Switzerland Inn, Skyline Lodge, and the Alpine. All three are 3 miles one way or the other from the BLL.

I appreciate it. I've looked at the info for the overflow motels, and being in the mood I'm in right now, Crabtree Meadows seems to fit my budget better right now. Plus I rather enjoy it. I took advantage of your 'old' tent several nights going to and coming from Vermont.

Geoffrey,

My friend Dennis-Denny Gass has a room at BLL for this weekend, arriving Thur. AKAIK he doesn't have a roommate. Give him a shout on FB if you would like to share a room with him. I can hook you up in a conversation if you like.

Update... This year the Big Lynn Lodge will hand out meal tickets when you check-in. If you are staying at the BLL these meal tickets come with your room.
If you are staying in one of the overflow hotels you will be required to pay a nominal fee for your tickets.
Be sure to remember to bring your ticket with you to meal time. No ticky no eaty!
