Adam, for me? It will always be May or Sept and middle of the month. Before Memorial Day and after Labor Day is the best time in the area. Especially Sept since the weather is typically great, the pollen count is down and the tourists are mostly gone.
I also have another pitfall.... my wife can never take the first 4 business days off on ANY month... Accounting can be a bear of a job... ARG!!!
I think we could start planning for Sept 9th through the 18th for next year? Any thoughts all? Same arrangements? What would you who went this time change up for next year? What worked, what didn't? Now that there is one trip under the belt, your input is GREATLY valued!
I hope that next year is less "eventful" and more enjoyable! :tup:
Thanks Billy,
Thanks again for putting up with me and feeding me on this trip.
This was a comparitively sedate pace run with Wolftamer, pokihokie and me shooting at the FZ1OA rally Akshay's Tail of the Dragon Video
Tell me that wasn't fun.... How many times did you go through while there?
I tried it again, it works! Maybe your browser is missing a plugin.
It was a lot of fun, but that road definitely requires full concentration, especially the first time you ride it. Believe it or not there were so many other great roads around that we only did the Dragon once. And I think most of us were ok with that
Well, that is the draw to the road... that it does require concentration and that it is so highly technical. It is a road for focused cornering. I rode it 6 round trips and one one-way trip in the few days I was there. I think another 25 round trips and I'll have it memorized. :tup: When I go back, I'm going to spend one whole day honing my skills in controlled cornering just riding the Dragon.
28 is also great but it's also residential so there's a lot of worry about people exiting a driveway.
I know about the other roads too and road quite a few of them. Did anyone make the Bridal Veil Falls loop? Did you all experience the slow scenic tour through Wayah Road where Crazyjoe crashed? Indian Foothills Parkway?
I'm hearing "good times" and "good riding" but not a lot of details. You're all being somewhat cryptic! :disturbed

I was totally bummed we spent that first weekend up there and didn't see any of you guys!! I went to the house the Friday afternoon but I wasn't sure which house you were in and then those driveways were scary so I didn't want to go back at night.
Maybe next year I'll get it right!! I think I need to move up there.
