Default The Gauntlet!

Made the reservation today.

A small group of us from around south palm beach county are heading up for this ride.

Headed up Thursday to be there for Friday, Saturday, Sunday rides then home. Monday.

Good way to spend Labor Day weekend

Hope to hit many of the nice roads up there in addition to the gauntlet run on Sunday

Maybe see some others from the crew or meet some GA crew

I am interested, but will not be able to leave until Friday. I may come up an catch you for the Saturday and Sunday rides. I have looked at this one before and thought it would be a good ride.

6 or 7 hours trying to get out of FL when you leave from the south end is not a fun day just blasting on the highway

our goal is to make the trip up in one day and back in one day with 3 days of riding in the middle, not really a option on the bike. First day would put us tired and on unfamiliar/unlighted back roads at the end of a long day, trailering was the safer option.

With more time off we could have broken the ride up and ride back into 2 days and enjoyed it, but we will have to leave that to the old farts that are retired, the rest of us either own our own business or don't have a tremendous amount of vacation time so we can't make it the trip we would want it to be, but it's still going to be a great one.

Yes I know what a turn is, if I remember correctly it is were you get to use the sides of your tires that do not get used here in our state. Ride safe and burn the edges off your tires.
