Sweeper Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Thanks to the storm, my PreRide is canceled. I’m looking at trailering part way and then ride into Marion late Wednesday.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MisterBill Posted September 14, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hi Guys, I was planning on coming, had hotel reservations made, but mother nature is pretty upset at the moment. The weather radar map is showing at least rain all over North Carolina for next week. I am going to cancel plans for this Fall ride. See you at the Spring Memorial ride in 2019. Thanks, Ben for pulling this together. Bill Mersch aka MisterBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted September 15, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted September 15, 2018 wish I could come down, just got back from deals gap this morning, don't think I could do the 700 miles back to the meet next weekend, 3000 miles in 8 days is a lot for my out of shape ass.

I'm bringing rain gear just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9C1 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hey guys - I'm only able to do Saturday, so what time does the ride start in the morning? Assuming meeting at the hotel? I'll be riding out from Winston Salem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer TheJay Posted September 18, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted September 18, 2018 Some guys get out early, but most leave no earlier than 9. If you wanna be on the safe side, 8 would be good, but I think you’d be fine at 9 too. There’s always some procrastinating going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeper Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I’m trailering Robs bike in all the way from Little Switzerland. He will be riding mine. I’m warmed up...maybe a little too much.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9C1 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Looks like weather will be okay at least for the majority of the day. I'll be at the hotel around 8:30 and look for the other bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeper Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 So I pulled into Little Switzerland late Monday afternoon only to hear from Rob that Clifford (his big red truck) had decided to retire in West Virginia. I enjoyed the customary sunset by myself. On Tuesday, I rode with Bob. We put in a 220 mile day and ended it with a stop here. Rob rolled in about 9:15 after an adventurous day. We rolled out on Wednesday morning heading to Shady Valley to meet Steve but had to stop and clean off some of the previous nights adventure. We had a couple of mostly clean runs up and back on The Snake. I slacked up on pics so here is a random shot of the night life. I made some small Dragon Ballz for KanadianKen. Everyone should feel bad for Kimball because he showed up with cobwebs on his bike. Rob is a sport touring genius. What a pleasure to travel with! Rob and I take this pic every year and talk about fixing the sign. This time he fixed it. If you're not on VFRD FB, you missed a lot of pics and laughs. Misty has put up an awesome video of the weekend and I'm sure it will end up here soon. Thanks to all who attended and to Bob and Ben for organizing. The fact that there were only six VFR's at the event is a testament to how great the company is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
