Title: Tail of the Dragon Ride
Post by: Slack on February 26, 2012, 04:05:33 PM
I think we need to do a large meet-greet-and RIDE at Tail of the Dragon this spring.  Maybe late April / Early May (just throwing it out there).

Who would come?
When would be better?
Which local roads besides Tail of the Dragon do we ride?
Would some people be interested in camping one or two nights there?

for sure!

definitely count me in, and if we do it on a weekend i would be down for a multiple day trek. would probably trailer the moto over to have more room for gear/supplies. late april/early may works well for me. might be able to round up another local or two.

not very familiar with the surrounding area, i'm sure we can find some good routes with a bit of digging

Was there last year with a group of riders. Going again in mid July in case your time frame changes. There about 40 of us, a few more never hurts! We stay in Maggie Valley.

I used to try to organize rides down there...never could generate any real interest.  Last time we actually got a group together down there was 2006.
