Take it from me guys, YOU DO NEED TO DO A YEARLY GATHERING!!! We get at least 2 here in Fl., 1 in the spring (Spring Fling) and 1 in the fall (The Feast) and its a blast. I`d say hit one up in Hickory or something in the fall to catch the changing colors of the leaves. I`d try to catch that one if I can.

as long as the location i'm working on works out i'm hoping the shop will be opening around october so a grand opening ride would be perfect timing.

there looks to be alot of us that are all within an hour or two of each other so theres no reason a semi regular ride couldn't be pulled off...ken....

OK, so there's a few who are able to get close to Salisbury. Downtown is decent for some simple cruising. We have a Farmer's market on S. Main that is covered, that would be a cool place to have a meet. There's plenty of fast food type restaurants plus of course BBQ and some decent local spots.

I`m about 11 hours from Murphy or so but I`d love to make a ride up there sometime.

I'm in High Point. Not too far for me. I'm down for a ride.

RodKremer · 2010-08-17 6:55pm

I live right dab smack in the middle of NC, Sanford. About 30 mins from Raleigh, Durham & Chapel Hill, about 2/12 hrs from Charlotte.

Im down for some riding.

Would be cool to get something together for this fall.

JTinNC, I have a buddy that lives in Salisbury off of Mooresville Road near Jake Alexander. Are you near there. I usually make it a weekend visit when we hang. Maybe we can all get up at some point?

Dude just send me a PM when you plan on coming to town, we can hit the Salty Caper for some pizza and beers.

boersma31p · 2010-08-17 8:33pm

I'm in Asheville, and so is Tiggy. Got some freinds here that are up for a ride as well.

cricketman · 2010-08-18 12:50am

sounds like to me we need to put a date on the fall ride

Heelz2315 · 2010-08-18 4:43am

Just schedule it around UNC Home games....got season tix.

badbroccoli · 2010-08-18 6:34am

How about something like the middle of October? The 16th is a Saturday. Any other suggestions for a time? What place? Maybe we could do a big ride in one city and kind of travel around to new cities for major rides and maybe pick a middle ground for a simple get together ride.

lambohaha · 2010-08-18 3:29pm

I say we ride Blowing Rock then hit 221 for a while and turn right and go to Little Switzerland and then ride the Parkway to Mt. Mitchell. Wait a minute, we ain`t road bikers are we? lol Sorry

macr0w · 2010-08-18 3:56pm

I would say come to Charlotte but it seems you guys are are more centrally located up north a little ways.

I'm trying to think of something that could coincide with a bike ride that would make it more interesting to come here.

I don't know how big a factor food and booze is.

We have plenty of that.

ENVIROGUY430 · 2010-08-18 4:02pm

Burlington, NC here. Hit me up when you guys get it worked out, I'm in.

I am off 55 by the airport

MacDaddy · 2010-08-18 7:20pm

that is close.
my kids like to watch the planes take off and land so close to the road
if we happen to drive by when they do.

oldguy25 · 2010-08-18 7:24pm

yeah, I can see them take off and land from my house

johnng23604 · 2010-08-18 8:32pm

You guys are all welcomed to come up here and ride!

luckystiff · 2010-08-18 9:24pm

i'm trying to get an events schedule for Oktoberfest here in hickory. between fall scenery, that, and hopefully a shop grand opening that should pull a day together. the bands at oktoberfest here typically suck(though Junior Brown did play in '08) but if you drink enough you can get past that haha...ken....

luckystiff · 2010-08-18 9:29pm

oh and after 2 weeks of waiting for her to get the inspectors in the land lord of the building i was trying to get informed me yesterday they are in negotiations with someone who may be buying the building:rolleyes: and they don't want to rent it until they see how the sale is going to go. sucks but whatever and maybe the new owner will not be a cheapass and will do the work needed themselves. on the flipside i spent about half the day today driving around looking for alternate locations. foud a few possible leads. the heat got me and my car('67 vw squareback) beat and we headed home to cool down. gonna spend a few more hours at it tomorrow...ken...

what's up Johnny, I am hoping to to do a lot of traveling next summer as far as racing and riding goes. I finally got to the track this year and my son loves it. He is training everynight to get his legs stronger so I think we are going to let him race a couple times before the season finishes out and then next year hit it hard. Are yall ABA or NBL up there?
