Yes, it’s that time again. Let’s plan some stuff. I want to lead a multi-day tour. I need some input from those interested in going along. That’s where you come in. Read on, and then contact me, either by comment on this blog, or by email at The.Road.Dragon@gmail.com Please let me know which tour you are most interested in, and help me refine dates.
The basic tour concept: We do a group tour. The group stays together on the road, and stops at common destinations. We self-support, but we intend to sleep in hotels along the way. (Camping is nice, but there is a lot to be said for hot water and clean sheets at the end of a long day on the bike.)
We’ve discussed some possibilities. Here’s a sample:
- Blue Ridge Parkway North to South (approx 1 week)
- Summit Ride to the highest point in a neighboring state and back (approx 4 days to a week)
- Savannah Adventure: To Savannah, GA, stay and play for a day, ride back (approx 5 to 6 days)
- Cheaha Challenge 2: Do the same ride we did last year, but add a day and either go out, or return via the Silver Comet/Chief Ladiga Trail. (Approx 3 days)
- Challenge the MS 150 Challenge: Ride to Pine Mountain on Friday, ride the two days of the Bike MS ride, then ride back from Pine Mountain on Monday. (4 days)
Possible dates: This depends a bit on which ride we are doing.
Challenge the Bike MS ride would be September 10, 11, 12, and 13.
If we do the Blue Ridge Parkway trip, we’d want to go in late September, or the very beginning of October. That way the weather is temperate, and we miss the big tourist influx to watch the fall colors. (Much less traffic.)
The other suggestions work pretty well for the same timeframe as the Blue Ridge trip.
So there you have it. Think about it, and get in touch. Let me know if you plan to go. (This isn’t a firm commit.) Let me know when you would like to do what. I’ll tally the results and post a decision next week.
