Mike, went to Gattlinburg at the end of May. Left Ann Arbor on Wed pm & rode 75 to Dayton OH, From dayton we went to Gattlinburg, th-sat we were in Gatrtlinburg, rode part of the Blueridge, The Dragon, & cherahola skyway. Sun we went to WVa & came back trough Northern OH in amish country, about 1850mi in all best trip ive ever been on!

 

Sounds great! We're heading down 69 and taking 30 from Ft Wayne to Lima, then 75 down. Stopping overnight in Dry Ridge Ky, then onto Gat. Staying there 4 nights, then taking the backroads across Tn to Nashville. 2 nights there, then 2 lane through Ind, probably stopping in Louisville for a bit, possibly overnight. Riding the backroads of Ind is really relaxing....

 

Looks like we are going to have some pretty good weather for Sat. so far, thats along ways off for these weather dudes though!!! Mike, that ride looks great to me, do you plan on stopping along the way somewhere for lunch, I don't miss to many meals!!!!! By the way Blackfly,I will bring my Digital Camera along so we can post some pics, hopefully we can get a group photo of everybody.

 

The route for Saturday comes out to about 150 miles....a nice ride. Those coming should know how far it is when added to thier trip to and from the event. This could add up to a LOT of miles.. I am planning to attend still..gonna meet up with others at ABC H-D in Waterford..

I'll have my Digital withj me for some pics of everyone for the site..

 

Lee,

I'll be at ABC H-D at 6:15 that morning. I think we'll take Dixie north (from ABC along Pontiac Lake Rd. to Scott Lake Rd. to Dixie Hwy.). If someone has a better route, fine with me. Should be a good day. See you bright and early.

 

I'll try and remember my camera. I thought that ride looked pretty good, didn't want to make it too long. The first one I made up was like 300 miles, and considering some riding a considerable distance to get to St Johns, I thought better of it and condensed it down to what appears to be about 150 miles, if we don't get lost...lol We'll let you lead the way.... [sm=biker.gif]...jk, but on a serious note, I've never been through that portion of the state so once we get past Stanton it becomes a bit tricky. Hopefully all the roads are marked well. On my last trip, the roads werre not marked and we missed a turn up in Wisconsin because of it, and had to use our internal navigational gut instincts, but we made it just fine.

 

I grew up on the corner of meadowveiw and baker, well, i lived there until the 6th grade anyway. i'm out on west kinley rd. now

 

By the way...i'm going to try to make it, but my father-in-law is having major surgery on friday, so i'll have to see how that works out.

 

I do not do mornings but will do my best t o be at ABC at 6:30am

Comming from Clinton Township, Utica to M59 across to ABC.

Looking foward to meeting Michigan riders.
