Owners Event - Group Rydes - Last call for feedback & suggestions....

[GnA]

If you missed the last post, I'll be coordinating the group Rydes for BRP for the Owners Event again this year.
We already received some positive feedback and great suggestions.... thank you!

So far, the plan is to have 3-4 choices for guided rydes on Thursday and Friday scheduled around the other BRP activities (Thurs Dinner and Fri lunch) and perhaps a "practice" ryde or two on Tues / Weds for those getting into the area early. :thumbup:

The top suggested rides to date are (not in order of popularity):

- BRP Ryde - (Blue Ridge Parkway - the abbreviated version)
- Cherohala Skyway
- Great Smokey Mtn Nat'l Park / Gattlinburg (pancake run / window shopping)
- Great Easy Waterfall Ride
- Ride to Highlands (ice-cream / shopping ride)
- Wheels Through Time Museum (the other way to get there)
- The Snake
- Dragon
- The Rattler
- The Giraffe
- The Axolotl
- The Mongoose
- The Peek-A-Poo
- The list goes on

Yes, there is that much good ryding in the area.
If you would please... cast your vote for the top three or four that you might like to ryde and/or make a suggestion for another.

Thanks for your help!!!:thumbup:

Bridal Veil Falls, unless that's included in the Waterfalls ride:clap:

Whatever you choose, it would be helpful to post the routes and/or the GPS info out here. This will help many plan on what rides to do, and for those of us that would prefer to do the rides in smaller groups or alone.

The Waterfalls and the Dragon! See everyone in June!:yes:

There are so many good rides available it is really hard to choose. I have been to a few waterfalls, but would like to see more if there are more to see. Combining Cherohala Skyway with The Dragon makes for a nice loop with a possible lunch stop in Tellico Plains. I will be more than happy to go on any of the routes instead of spending my time hunting down a new battery. :thumbup:

 

[Hberninger]

I'm open to any of them.

Hi Dave - I've been waiting for someone to ask... the snake and rattler are other "named" rides in the area.
I threw in the others (not real) just to see if anyone was paying attention!!!! :clap:

Google up "Axolotl" it's a cute looking little creature!!!

I was wondering about some of them, but they have so many different named rides in the area I figured you knew way more about it than I do. :thumbup:
