Just got back from a Richmond ride this weekend ;D
Am now trying to plan out the rest of my rides for this years riding season.
I'll be going to CON in June and was wondering if we are having a Fall Smokies Ride this year? And if so, when?
I, of course, vote YES!!!

Will probably let Someone else do the Ride Plannin' and Leadin' this year....we'll most likely come up and hang out if there is one. I hope it continues as an Annual Event.....(IMO), it's always been a lota' fun with a lota' really great Folks..... ;D ;D ;D

I hope it continues as an Annual Event.....(IMO), it's always been a lota' fun with a lota' really great Folks..... ;D ;D ;D Ah, come on Skuuter...I honestly don't think anyone knows the roads better, and can lead a group and keep them together as well as you do. I love your ride routes, intimate knowledge of the area and you always know just how far we can go before we have to start heading back. The only others I think that could even come close are Sharron or the Kamino Brothers. We definitely have to have one this year! If you just don't feel like dealing with the BS, I'll be the official BS dealer wither...Any BS and I'll set them straight...2 choices...1. Shut the F up, ride and have fun...or 2. Shut the F up and go F yourself, we're riding...simple as that. I think the many many positives of this ride far outweigh any negatives...personally I can't even think of any negatives, except a weekend is not enough time...lol. So come on let's set this up, it truly has become an epic ride that just keeps growing...and we gotta go back to the DRAGON...I need my ruck rides

I ride most every day somewhere, and most every weekend I head off somewhere outa' my local area. Already ridden over 10,000 miles in 2010.....time for some of You to start havin' more fun, and ridin' more....best way to do it is find good ride leaders, sweeps, and roads...... ;D

I know you can handle the BS, I just thought maybe you didn't feel like having to handle the BS...lol.
Well I say we all pick a date and go up and ride...as long as Skuuter, Sharron or the Kamino Brothers are there too we shouldn't get lost or eaten by bears...lol!
How does the weekend of 10/22-10/24 sound? that's a week before Halloween so maybe less conflicts.
Is that a bad time to get rooms at Dock's, or should we be OK?

The reason I had to use the dates I used last year was DOCKS was booked solid that time of year. Fall has become a heavy scenery viewing season for Tourists. I always prefer September (First ever Fall Ride), but can't ever get dates then anymore...... ;D

Sounds to me like the first step would be finding out when Dock's has enough available rooms. dubg, you feel like taking on that responsibility?

Jeez, Skuut, if you don't lead the ride, how will I know how fast I can take the corners?

I can't even think of any negatives My kneee would like to disagree with you. Jeez, Skuut, if you don't lead the ride, how will I know how fast I can take the corners? Hell even with you leading I still don't know how fast to take the turns, imagine what my knee would have looked like if i was left to my own accord, or worse yet, think of everyone else's knee's if I had been leading.

I do have to agree that Joie leading a ride sounds kind of unsafe

I do have to agree that Joie leading a ride sounds kind of unsafe I 2nd that.....though falling within the first few hours of the summer ride and arriving with a dead scoot for the fall doesn't exactly give my vote much weight.
