IA Mountain Run

[matthewAPM]

Its been a long and boring winter. Now that summer is here, I think its time we have a Mountain Run.


Mountain Run

When: June 21-22
Where: Blood Mountain
Meeting place: June 21st at 2:00pm WalMart near Mall Of Georgia


We will be traveling up to the mountains Saturday late afternoon and will be camping out. If you dont plan on camping, the runs will begin at 9:00am-ish Sunday morning.

There will be a small run Saturday night. If you do not feel comfortable with the road, please do not go on this run.

We will meet at the Wal-Mart near Mall of Georgia Saturday June 21st. Please be there at 2:00pm in the back of the parking lot.

[Elbow]

[matthewAPM]

yep. still going on. I just hope I have a car by then and not riding shoot gun

[Thighs]

^^ yeah matt i dont need your fat ass holding down my passenger side...

too bad i wont have wheels and tires by then :(

[green91]

Not to discourage you guys but if youre gonna do the run, it needs to be VERY early in the morning. I went up today and counted no less than 12 GSP and 4 LCSO between stonepile and turners corner, GSP about every .5 mile on 129 up to blood mtn and then 1 in the turnoffs right past the hikers store. 180 & 60 from suches back to stonepile was clear but there were LCSO sitting at r-ranch when i got back down.

Just a kind warning more than anything. 20+ uniformed officers within 40 miles is pretty ridiculous.

[SandM]

i'm interested, but i'm still learning how to handle the new car and i'll be in the back

Thanks for the heads up. We will do our planning Saturday night on the time we will start.

[Elbow]

Matt PM me your number, I might meet you all up there to save me some gas.

[DunDunSkeert]

[IndianStig]

Got your PM, sorry for no reply. I will see if I can come up with a new M3, Matt. If not I may join you in whatever it is I am driving then. Could you PM me the roads we are running on? We're having a huge party on the 21st so if I come up, it will be noonish on the 22nd

[Elbow]

[matthewAPM]

haha ya dude I never got a PM from you.

[Leadfoot_mf]

[00CelicaGT]

my name is already on the list and i never recieved a PM. but anyways where are yall meeting @ on sunday for the runs? and wat time so i can get my lazy asss up?

[matthewAPM]

ok. im not sure of the camp site but i know someone thats going who knows were it will be. not far from the top of the mountain. Everyone that has said they were going, please confirm that you will be attending and for those of you who are not on the list, come on!

[matthewAPM]

my name is already on the list and i never recieved a PM. but anyways where are yall meeting @ on sunday for the runs? and wat time so i can get my lazy asss up?

we will meet at the store on blood mountain at 9am

[highspeed]

So i guess youre going to come out in your car and show everyone how to drive?

Ya really.....let them all come up here on the weekend......

Chris said something about this earlier......
just so eveyone knows lumpkin county now has a weekend task force for Blood MTN and highway 60 going to Suches. This task force includes 4 Dodge Chargers and 1 Helicopter. I wish I was making all this up. Lumpkin Co. now has them out from Friday to Monday every weekend until summer ends. I know this because a friend of mine is in that task force. So if you are going to come up......don't think that you will be making any kind of world record passes up or down the mountain. Just thought you might want to know but I know someone will do it anyways. The task force was put in place because of the amount of deaths that were happening on and around HWY 129 and HWY 60. When I go up the mountain I go in the middle of the week and there is no one there hardly and I can go as fast as I want to on my bike. Just be careful and not stupid. Chris and I live up here and we hear of deaths all the time on Blood Mountain......hince the name.

[JennB]

I'm sorry but the name of the mountain has nothing to do with driver deaths. It's had that name longer than cars and motorcycles have existed.

[Elbow]

^Truth

[highspeed]

I'm sorry but the name of the mountain has nothing to do with driver deaths. It's had that name longer than cars and motorcycles have existed.

I know that!!!!! ..........i was making a statement.........and trying to help out fellow IA members who will be traveling, on purpose I might add, to a Hornets Nest. I guess you didn't get my point.....so nevermind......everybody just come up and act fools......i don't care...everyone get arrested and cars impounded......who gives a ****......just trying to help.

BTW the name comes from the Cherokee and Creek Indian battles that took place there in the 1600's......I know what the name means Thank YOU:2up:

[Elbow]

Thanks for your input, she was just saying that Blood Mountain wasn't named that from people dying on bikes and in cars. But thanks for the heads up for sure!

[highspeed]

No problem......I just get pissed when the point is over looked and something is pointed out that is quite inconsequential. All I am doing is letting you know......maybe you should use sr75 instead......just a suggestion....not to many people on there....especially cops. And since this is posted on the internet you might want to reconcider your route......or talk about it off line or by PM's or something........and just be safe

[JennB]

Wow.. thanks for completely overreacting.

[matthewAPM]

^ +1

[MC Hammer]

maybe there in my mustang

[mushroom_toy]

2 Fridays ago we all went and saw no cops. This was from 1-5pm, so I guess just use caution when yall get up there guys.

[highspeed]

Wow.. thanks for completely overreacting.

your welcome.....If I can overreact to anything else just let me know

Oh and by the way I lost a friend in the mountains a couple of years ago.....So my overreacting is just because I want to make sure that people get the point. Im just stating that I know there are going to be cops up there....just don't act stupid and I will wave at all of you when you drive by my work. G/L and end of discussion

[highspeed]

2 Fridays ago we all went and saw no cops. This was from 1-5pm, so I guess just use caution when yall get up there guys.

Where did you go? The cops are on a rotating schedule up here. In otherwords they will post on a different route at different times and days......they keep that classified though. Just be careful

[green91]

b they went up mid day

[SandM]

preciate the info. i'll still be heading up sunday morning... matt pm me an address.
and thanks for the warning highspeed... im not looking to prove anything, just for a nice drive.

[matthewAPM]

2pm tomorrow

[green91]

thats kinda late

[SandM]

so did anyone go camping???

[OnURleft]

I'm sorry but the name of the mountain has nothing to do with driver deaths. It's had that name longer than cars and motorcycles have existed.

hahaha thank god someone has intelligence..

F.Y.I for those preaching stunnas droppin' their Busa's and scratchin dur' Icon suits dubbed it "Blood Mountain," your wrong....
The name originated from the battle that took place on the mountain hundreds of years ago between Creek and Cherokee Indians, but some think the name came from the reddish color of the wild plants growing near the top...No... idiots flying off in their imports didn't give it its name either.

[green91]

I believe that has already been discussed a few posts up

[OnURleft]

Your're right. I missed it scanning by all that freaking out or what not.
