SE: North GA Mountain Cruise / Shin Dig
 

UPDATED

NOVEMBER 6, 2011 (SUNDAY)

meet at the following gas station at 8:00 am. We will head out around 8:30 at the latest.

Lakeland Plaza Chevron
502 Lakeland Plz, Cumming, GA 30040-2730

Well, the SE section has been kinda quiet and dead lately. Hopefully people are just recovering from Znats and Leman's.

Anyway, we need to have a mountain cruise up before the winter comes in strong. So this is a feeler / starter thread.

Early Nov might be a good time.

My suggestions are Sunday, starting early early morning before traffic really gets up and going such as meeting around 7. Leaving at 7:30. This way we can be done around 2-3 and still have a big day in.

Simple rules, dont come if you cannot follow:

A: Be safe.
B: No crossing over double lines
C: No overtaking other vehicles when not a passing zone
D: Do not ride another vehicles tail if they do not move. We all share the road, so we all should behave.
E: Its more about having fun, than being super fast.
F: Stay within our comfort zone
G: Make sure your brakes work. Your tires are broken in and set on pressure.
H: Be Safe.

Ok thats all the letters i know, so when i learn some more i can put up some more rules.

Might possibly join you guys, depends if I get new tires and brakes done by then.

brakes aint hard to do sucka! tires on the other hand is $$$

I'm in but early Nov @ 7-7:30am It will be cold roads are cold,I'm cold and Forged is having there opening on Sat Nov 5.

End of October is better it shouldn't take everybody that long to figure out if they are in or out.:twocents:

that works. End of oct works for me.

Besides the issue of it being on a Sunday instead of Saturday kinda dont work for me. And I also have problems obeying rules B-D. lol!! Would really like to hang out with some Z buddies though

so your saying, if it were a saturday you'd make it? we can get something going for people who can make it saturday vs sunday.

I'll put it in you guys hands to set a date and then I'll see what I can do. I don't have much going on any time soon. I have to get a alignment which is happening on Oct.17.

I need to be carefull till my track day incase of a mechanical failure. But that shouldn't be an issue considering the time frame. Just paranoid I assume.

I also want to test out my new GoPro I bought today.

Oct 23rd. Oct 30th is halloween weekend. Not that I expect any trick or treaters, but you never know LOL. The 30th works either way as we have not had the monthly run for Oct as yet.

i'm good for 1st or 2nd weekend of november, my whole month of october is booked tho :(

Look at you, I bet your pimp must love it when you check in on Mondays. :inoutroflpuke:

hrmm...

:bowrofl::roflpuke2::bowrofl:

ill try. i really need to cruise with yall.

Only if you bring a Focus RS or CF flying carpet.

I may be interested depending on which weekend.
Have you heard of Speed & Mischief - Charity Dawn Mountain Run - 10/23/11, Sunday?
Look for it on facebook.

Ill check that one out. But this event should be seperate from sometihng like that

Truthfully im still leaning early nov. And then thinking saturday. The SC guys can join up. and then also i wont miss the foozball.

Will depend on my flying schedule and workload, so I probably won't know until a day or two before

I'd like to join you guys. You could shoot for a Saturday and if they weather's crappy, have Sunday as a backup?

awww ok. hopefully you can.

Yeah im thinking of trying a saturday. Honestly if the weather is crappy, i'd rather just cancel it overall. For E.G if it rains all saturday, i wouldnt want to go up sunday with soggy leaves everywhere.

yea that's how i damaged my truck last year :( stupid guardrail cutting into my power-sliding-to-impress-the-girlfriend driving... :shakes head:

I'd like to try to make this, Sundays are usually better for me.

I'm off till November, so any weekend from now till the end of October and I'm in.

Baer has got a point about early morning drives though. Cold roads plus cold tires helped give me a titanium screw in my wrist and some nice scars to compliment the last time I had "fun" in the mountains.

Being cold is not all that big of a deal. Just drive about 6/10th of your skill. Which really should be done on spirited days. I prefer early mornings so I can enjoy the rest of my day. Plus I'm traveling further.

yall forgetting that the drive up there would warm the tires up. maybe i should take my bike instead of myz.

If its super cold we can just cruise. Theres nothing saying we have to go balls out. Safety first children!

Our oil temps make up for the cold. Ha

not mine. Last year in our late autumn run everyone on the radio was like man my oil temps are getting up there too high etc etc

i was like crap i cant get mine to 180!

Yea. I was just joking silly. Now go sit in the corner.

i am in the corner. (corner desk where my computer is.)

Just tell me when. Then I can try to plan. And we are driving hard. No excuses!

:iagree:

Oct/Nov is probably about as late as would be safe for the mountain cruises. The cold weather brings snow, salt, gravel and awefull roads. Hit the twisties while you can!

The mountain cruise after C&C was a great idea...

Im interested so just a couple questions. Has there been an official date set yet? Also were is the meeting spot? I live near the Greenville Spartanburg (SC) airport so just want to know how long it will take me to meet up with everyone or if I can meet yall somewhere on the road in North Georgia.

hah

Noo we must all drive 15mph..

yeah the ones after CC is a good idea, but one thing is by the time it gets going its already 11-12 and thats a late start.

Im honestly not that good with the area up there. Ill try and look it up some tomorrow.

if you go rooskey, i may just ride with you if that's cool. save me some gas and mileage on my truck. i'd just want to ride with someone once i got down there anyway

we should split into two groups. the ones that wanna go hard goes with kev and the granny drivers go with dai.

fixed :tup:

I say meet at the Gas station at the end of 400 like we did after the C&C last time around. Earlier=less traffic

I want to go way before C&O over. I'd be willing to meet at 8am at the Chevron at the end of 400.

Being Dai came up with this let him make the decision and if you can go, go. If not then.... That really would be simplier.
