TimC Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Planning to finally attend again! Hoping to arrive earlier in the week than usual, too. Thanks for setting and announcing the dates this early, BR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer dgordon Posted November 20, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted November 20, 2014 Kevin, I've been really looking to attend this for the last few years. Is it best to arrive earlier in the week? Anyone who's headed down from Ontario comments would be welcomed on how much time to plan, etc. I'd be riding down. This year I think I could swing a week! (If there is an FAQ then steer me there and I'll be sure to review) Thanks Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeper Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Arrive early. You'll need at least four days in the area to get your fill. More than that and you won't be able to ride home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFRpwr Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Alright, booked and booked! Can't wait. TMac count down begins.....189 days and counting. dgordon, there were quite a few people down early in the week last year (me amongst them). I trailered down through Bufalo, down I-77 through Pitsburgh and WV (not as fast as Detroit and I-75). Past Pitsburgh the highways got relatively interesting. The roads around NC/TN have ruined me for riding superslab so am driving down again. I found last years threads very good reading for TMac info. Cheers!

Member Contributer dgordon Posted November 20, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted November 20, 2014 Power, thank you. I will go through the threads. For me, I don't have the option of trailering. I'm okay with the slab. However may not be after if I can do this. LOL. I'd love to meet all of the people I feel I've grown to know over the years, through this board. Also, the idea of seeing so many VFR's, and their owners is overwhelming to me. Uber cool. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmythecop Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Anyone who's headed down from Ontario comments would be welcomed Thanks Dave. There are so many that the Tennessee cops are still baffled as to what state is "ONT" Here we have an Ontarian: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Dave (dgordan) -- As great as the riding is, hanging with our fellow VFRD members is just as much of a blast. It's a terrific group of people to ride and hang out with for a few days. I would encourage you to get down earlier in the week, or at least start heading south early in the week and hit some nice twisty 2-lanes through W. Virginia and Virginia on your way down to N. Carolina. If you have to, you can slab it back to make time, but try to enjoy the trip down and don't feel rushed. That's probably a better option than hitting the twisties on the way back north, as you'll likely be pretty tired if you're not used to these kinds of roads. Also, hitting some challenging roads on the way south helps freshen up your riding skills before you hit the really demanding stuff down there.
