Pleasanthill/ 120 to 400N up one exit. About 30 min from the bp on PH without traffic
I just went up and it was pretty busy for a Tuesday afternoon with bikers and other travelers. One cop passed us on our way downhill, I'm surprised he didn't turn around.
There were construction crews at the base cleaning up and surveying, hopefully they aren't planning on starting something this weekend.
Honestly I am not too happy with my new Falken Ziex's but I did try push them into turn's hard with less than 100 miles on them so I'm sure they will be better once broken in, hopefully by this run.
.....how long is the road on the mountain......
very long there is different ways. i say all the fwd cars ride together and rwd and awd ride with each other. noway can no fwd car keep up with a rwd on that mountain
they wont get much better, they give up pretty easily.Quote:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........
North of 85 - take 20 off of 400 ( in Cumming ) directly east and you'll come up on the Walmart and such just after you pass 985 on the leftQuote:

He turned around and i didn't know it so we kept going. . .I slow up 15 min. down the road for some Harley riders and then hear sirens and lights:police: . He pulled both of us over. He said he did 100 mph for 4 miles to catch up. . .if the bikers had not been in the way he woulda never come close. 75mph in a 45= $275 fine.:(
damn, thanks for the heads up

Can someone update the first post with all the updated info?
And who wants to still do something Saturday? I can't make a Sunday run but want to get out for 3-4 hours of driving. Who's down?
We'll just do the triangle hitting up Blairesville for lunch or dinner (depending on time of the day we leave)...
.....Thats exit 4 off of 985......right....Quote:

and to the dude with the ziex, sucks for you they ****ing blow. ive got about 2,000 miles on mine and im about to throw them away. they are complete junk.
im sorry how many FF do you that a "setup" let alone "setup" for a good road course i.e. mtn run? ive yet to see any FF "setup" to run.Quote:

Its an awesome route up to Helen and then we could all have lunch at the margarita deck in Helen. They have good food on the low. Would yall be intrested in rolling over to the Premium outlet mall at GA400 and be there at 10:30-10:45ish? I've done this route several times with another group and it good times.
i'll be at walmart. Anyone down for hwy runs :D lol.
