Deal's Gap Trip

[swampduc]

we reserved rooms at the resort for may 8 - 11 of next year though 

I'm thinking I'll try to make this a yearly thing as well.

Rain, rain, F***ing rain!!!!!!

We had a great time when the sky dried up, but left early.  cabin fever is no fun down there. 
The minis were great.  Supposedly 300 showed up for the weekend.  We counted 75 in one group. 

Nice meeting you shivy.  Hopefully, we'll meet again down there.  We're working on how to hit Barber and Deal's Gap in a week.

Yeah, rain stayed with me in north GA, then at Barber. Did the track in the wet on Monday, but then it was mostly dry Tuesday 
Hope ya'll had a good trip back, Laura - was great meeting you too.
Is the weather like that every year at that time, JM?

We normally get some rain in spring, but it's been several years since we've had this much rain, and as continuous as it's been.  It's also usually not constant like it has been this year.  Normally, we get a day or two of rain and it stops for a few days.  The other usually pattern is morning showers or evening thunder storms instead of all-day rain.

tues was supposed to be a dry day. we woke up to a downpour. i nearly lost it. but that's why rain gear was invented, we sucked it up and roadea anyways (some of us MUCH slower than others)
the roads did dry out and i pushed the sprint all the way to the edges of the stradas. remind me not to do that again on public roads please.
seriously, one of the tridents on the left side is now completely missing. 

on another note, even loaded up with all my crap the "tight" turns by me felt simple. the bike feels much more like a sportbike than it did when i got there.

If anyone wants to go back, I'm trying to organize a trip mid september to meet up with my dad.. For those that don't know, he's the one that initially started marketing the area to motorcycles and is the one who named it "The Dragon"....

How much fun would it be to swap stories from back in the day with the two of us... I basically grew up riding all around there so i can be a decent tour guide if needed....

JM, can you see this?

Nope, it's blocked too 

I'll hafta look when I get home

I got there saturday and left yesterday and only got 2 days of riding.  I only recall seeing 2 monsters floating around, but I could be wrong.
