Mountain Run; Thurs Morn, July 27th

[EvasiveEF9]

Hey, I don't know if anyone would be interested in attending a mountain fun-run this thursday, but I'm looking to get a few people together. I know it's short notice, but I'm actually kind of happy as to keep the group-number down. It's more fun and safer that way. We're looking to hold it this thursday so that there will be minimal bikers up on the mountains. That, and I'm looking to get a fun run in before school starts back up again for me. Speaking of, if anyone attends NGCSU, PM me.

Anyways, I normally do these with vwvortex.com as I know several of the "hillbillies" as we call ourselves, but I thought maybe some IA'ers might be interested in joining as well.

If you'd like more details, I'll list them as they are asked. Otherwise, here's the vitals.

Who: Some IA and Vortex.com people
What: Mtn Run, cruise in pack from Cumming up to Dahlonega and ride the triangle
When: 9am, Thursday July 27th, we usuall finish the triangle around 11-12
Where: Meet behind the Chevron off Exit 14 in Cumming off 400

I expect due to that being somewhat in the middle of rush hour that people will be up to as much as 30 minutes late. Please, if you plan to come, TRY to plan accordingly. PM me for my phone number so you can call if you're running late. We try to meet at 9am, and we usually leave out of there around 10.

Hope to see some of ya'll there!

Wow, people from vortex? Man how come i never see the events on vortex haha. I would love to make it out....but i can't gotta work.

[EvasiveEF9]

Dude, that sucks. We're planning another here before too long...early august, I think.

On the vortex, check in the SouthEast forums and look up any of these key words..

Hillbilly
Hill Billy
Hillbilly's
Hillbillies

Yeah, some of them can't spell. But that's the group I roll with. The people the most frequently come out are...
sjettav
16v...1.9L
elvir
eastcobbler
snap, I know more of them by real names than by usernames. Deb, Bryson, Kris, Lee...uh...strictlygravy (gravy) umm...can't think of more. But check it out, we're always doing mountain runs, cookouts...whatever

[Flip]

I think i might try to make it out to this. I'm off thursday night so I'll probly have to stay up all night or just get a nap since i usually work nights and go to bed around 8am like i am today. I'm PM'ing you for more info...

Hey, ignore my question about where... I'm tired :P. PM me your info tho...

[hydroshutter]

On a Thursday? I'd love to go on a Mountain Run, but I wouldn't be able to make a weekday

[thegreatfnr]

Man ben your just posting the mountain runs all over the place arent ya

You guys should come out for a run some time. Its a great group of people although mostly dubs we dont mind the occasional jap import to come along

Im not gonna be able to make this one due to work but hey ben I finally got a new ride that i can take up to the hills for the next one.

Lee

[EvasiveEF9]

Sounds great, Lee. Don't be jealous of my jap, though, just because it surprised everyone on that first run and ya'll asked "What was under the hood". It's all gravy, man. You don't have to fear the D15B2.

Yeah, I'm posting this on the Vortex and on IA only. I might have a local chick in a prelude coming as well. I'm leaving it as a little more open invite since I don't think we'll be as hard as the hillbillies normally do. In addition, it's a thursday, and short notice, so not too many people can make it. This run is mostly for those of us who recently left their jobs cuz their bosses are assholes and did everything they could to keep them from continueing their education. Not that I'm in that position or anything...

Yes, I apologize for it being on a weekday, but I'll assume there will be less traffic of bicycles as well as cars. NORMALLY the hillbillies run on a sunday morning. Same time same place.

Flip, shooting you the info now.

[Elbow]

I would go but we have a Athens area IA meet that night. I have done two mountain runs in the past three weeks, I am addicted! You all have fun and be safe!

[EvasiveEF9]

Haha, safe is the only way we do. The runs are definitly addicting, just gotta know your limits.

If your meet is in the evening, come on out. We'll be done with the run probably around 12-1..that's when we normally get out. Then it's tradition to hit the Zaxby's up there. greatfnr knows how we do

I've actually got an EF meet at the varsity in atlanta afterwards in the evening, and the next day I'm departing at 5am to north carolina for an offroading meet.

Come on out, it'll be fun.

[Elbow]

Hmmm I might, I will think about it!

[Bruce Leroy]

I'm in. PM'd

[EvasiveEF9]

Received and replying now...

Simon, definitly something to think about. It's just something fun to do for those of us with late night jobs or no job at all.

[EvasiveEF9]

Oh, and to anyone who doesn't really know the exit, it's a little screwy now with alot of construction so be careful.

Exit 14
once you get off, stay to the left. It'll take you back under the exit and cloverleaf around. It'll make you head westbound. Go about 1/4 mile and look to the left, it'll be right there. We've met there several times before and it's a great place.

[Jehu]

Is the Prelude chick's car going to be up or is she riding along?

I'd love to go but between work and having done so many car related things lately, it's not going to happen. Enjoy!

[EvasiveEF9]

All gravy, there will be more.

I just got in from checking the rear brake pads, bearings, bolts, calipers-bled them, rotors, struts and contacts...all gravy and good to go.

Prelude girl, I'm not sure. I'm still waiting to hear back from her. She's the girl that spun a bearing at tunerfest, but still won best R/T (Brittoknee) so congrats to her. Hope she makes it, but at this point it's looking like a no-go.

[Elbow]

Do you have an exact address of where you all are meeting so I can see how far the drive is?

[EvasiveEF9]

Umm...I'll see what I can find...

[EvasiveEF9]

Ok, I THINK this is it...but in the directions I found it says "exit, stay right". But I'm wondering if those directions haven't been updated since the construction took place.

This is what I found though, and like I said, it sounds like the right one.

502 Lakeland Plaza, Cumming, GA 30040
(770) 888-1551

The Chevron is seriously just off the exit. (14)

[Elbow]

Ok thanks, i'll let you know if I am going.

[efman]

damn hatch still has'nt had the focus it needs and the focus needs front tires

[Cato ED-6]

I would be there in a heart beat if it was on Saturday. My 240 is in need to be ran, its been motionless to long. Its such a cruel fate, sometimes I hate my job.

[Dominic49]

I'll see about making it out with my cameras...

[EvasiveEF9]

Would love some camera action.

Check into some tires maybe tomorrow? I think I might be going in for an alignment tomorrow. I don't THINK I need it, but it's been so long, I'd prefer to make sure it's perfect.

As for those who can't make this one...there's rumors of another one coming august 6th...

[Hektik]

Hopefully ill be able to make it depends on what time i get off work. how late do u think ill be getting back home by o and how hard do yall run cause i might need to do a lil maint to my car and dont want to be riding to hard on the brakes. and pm me ur info thanx bro

[EvasiveEF9]

Usually, we end up back in Dahlonega (after the triangle) around 11-1, depending how many stops we make throughout the triangle, and such, as well as how hard we run.

There's talk of doing some photo's and video feed after the first run for anyone who may be interested in getting their cars on film. That's totally up to the driver and whoever has cameras.

As for how hard we run, I'd go ahead and take a look over on your car. No matter if I plan to run hard or not, I always run over my car (brakes, oil, coolant, brake pads, rotors, lug nuts, and tire-wear/damage) because sometimes even when you don't plan to run hard, you end up doing it anyways. We normally run pretty damn hard, but I'm wanting this run to be a little more relaxed from the norm. More than likely, I'll end up leading (unless someone takes it from me) and I make several stops here and there. I listen to the crew as to whether they want to run slower or faster. Just remember..if we start getting beyond your limits, feel free to slow down and ask us to slow down at the next break-point. I don't mind adapting to the drivers in the crew. We also normally run on the basis of the harder runners taking the front, and cruisers in the rear.

[Elbow]

If I am going I have to change my brake pads, I burnt them off basically running down Brasstown Bald alone the other week...lol

[EvasiveEF9]

Haha, I dont' know what kind of pads you've got, but I use autozone's Duralast Gold. I had my doubts, and my buddy talked me into them. I've had them about a year now, and they look like they MAYBE have two-three months wear on them? I mean they're hardly used at all, and they grip well, and handle the heat well, and I"ve done about 5 mtn runs on them. Plus...lifetime warranty rocks. I'm also on full Dot4 fluid with a rear disc swap and 4040 prop, though. Minor upgrades, nothing badass yet.

I advise Dot 4 fluid if you plan to do these here and there, and decent pads. Rotors are OEM and well abused.

At the same time...skunk2 coils all around, so I don't brake ALL taht much for curves. Tires are just 205 40R17 Fuzion ZR1's. Again, though...lightweight car.

Bottom line...I'd give the duralast gold's a go round. Well priced, good wear, and seem to handle heat well.

[PostScript]

I don't really know any of you going but I'm interested. I don't have to be at work til 4. I'll see if a buddy of mine wants to go, I might see you up there.

-Justin

[Flip]

I'm goin. I might have a buddy come on a bike. Why don't we start a tab on who all is going to come so we know who to wait for and expect when we get there...

[EvasiveEF9]

Justin, I'll be looking to have you along for the ride. It's great to meet new people. most everyone from IA will be a new face to me, so I'll probbaly spend the first hour saying hello. Maybe when I hit the varsity meets, I'll actually know people now...

I'll start the tab in the first post.

[joecoolfreak]

I might be able to come...

[Bruce Leroy]

DOn't forget me

[EvasiveEF9]

LIST UPDATED!

[Dominic49]

I'm not gonna be able to go I'm gonna get my clutch installed in the next few days... so no car camera mount bringing for me....

[EvasiveEF9]

You know a clutch swap can be done in 8-12 hours?

haha, it's cool man, hope to see you next go-round.

On another note...a mountain run is only half uphill...the rest if momentum.

[The BUCKY]

got room for a bike. i wont be flying cause i dont have any leathers but i would like to come.

[EvasiveEF9]

I'd say a flying car is MAYBE equivalent to a bike's cruise...and we don't even plan to be flying.

You're more than welcome to come along.

[The BUCKY]

sweet
