Mountain Run Sun. 1/15/06!!!

[speedminded]

Mostly Sunny with highs in the 50's, who's up for a cool weather mountain run?

I was thinking if we still wanted to cookout I could put together everything for jambalya (aka my signature Gumbolya™) and simply add water and heat over the grill at the park...pre-cook the chicken & andouille sausage and put in tupperware containers then throw in salad shrimp for the last 5 minutes of heating...i've done it several times at the track. Would just need people to bring bowls, spoons, drinks and a couple bucks each if possible (a large pot cost me about $40 to make). The parking fee at Vogel State Park is $3.


Time: Sunday, January 15th - 10:00am
Location: Home Depot - Hwy. 400 N. across from the Premium Outlet Mall in Dawson Co.

Meet at Home Depot @ 10am or so and plan to head north at 10:30.

[speedminded]

Only two days notice?Weather is too "iffy" this time of year to plan ahead. I gave a friday before notice last time and i think i was the only one not to show up, oops :eye:

[COGCaviZ24]

hmmm... put me down as a maybe. my dad's shop is close and i'll probably working on my car. i might ride out

[Marta Mike]

I'd actually be up for it if some peeps gonna roll.

[RISKYB]

[IntegraXTR]

damnit, if only I didn't work weekends, all the good shit happens when I'm stuck

[dazn]

whats the pace gonna be like and whats the route??
im deciding whether im gonna be on two or 4 this weekend.

whats the pace gonna be like and whats the route??
im deciding whether im gonna be on two or 4 this weekend.There MAY be a possibility of the northside of the mountains being slippery either from existing conditions or possibly sand, salt, or gravel remaining from tonight or tomorrow. I'll call a couple people in Dahlonega to get an update on road conditions.

As for pace, it's not a race...there will always be some "playing" but I expect everyone to respect each other, especially with not knowing how the road will be around the turn.

I respect being near a bike and depending on the rider if I want to stay away from him/her...I would expect everyone else to do the same. I don't push bikes and despise driving next to them unless i'm on one myself....You can tell within just a couple turns a riders confidence and if they aren't 110% then i don't want anything to do with them. With the slight possibility of hazardous conditions I wouldn't recommend taking the bike unless you have a group going up that can all run together.

last time i was up there, which was sunday, the only road that really was worth avoiding is 180 between 60 and 129. the rest of 180 was fine, like near 75 and such.
there is a group of riders forming for that day but they will be a really really fast pace that wold be out of the question.
it i dont join that group ill be there with my car.

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

180 is FUN!!! But definately dangerous! I might ride out, I'll know for sure on Saturday!

180 is fine for cars, just not that great for bikes since there is still a lot of gravel and stuff on the sides of the roads in the switchbacks

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

oh yea, i know.. i ride too.. i dont think i would take a bike on it.

[speedminded]

oh yea, i know.. i ride too.. i dont think i would take a bike on it.i still owe you a ride :idb: :D :tongue:

would be fun on a supermoto or big-bore DS bike :).

actually, if the weather is decent i'll be up there on 2 myself, if the weather sucks it'll depend on whether i can go pick up my tire machine before sunday and mount up some good rubber.

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

i still owe you a ride :idb: :D :tongue:

hahaha.. i think you might still be in shock from the ride i gave you! lol :lmfao:

[Kalifornia087]

Damnit, Finally a nice sunday run, and my car is down... Hopefully it will be back up in about a month or less, and after that i will be down for anything like this.

[Kalifornia087]

oh and hey speedminded, you wanna hook me up with some good tire prices?? LoL, the bird is down, but is going to need two tires (imagine that...) as soon as it hits the road again. lmk

hehe, i was going through 180 a few weeks ago when it was still really really bad, fresh gravel and everything, still snow on the sides of the road and everything. following a drz through it watching him slide around and stuff, was great till i started sliding, hehe.

do you plan on riding with the GSB group? ?If so i might see you there.

[speedminded]

It looks like it's gonna be a perfect day for sunday drive....

[David88vert]

I went up last weekend on the bike. There was a little bit of gravel in the corners on 180. Other than that, it was good. We ran a decently aggressive pace, and had no incidents.

[UpSideDownDesi]

morning there and night y'all know where lol.
