    Rides

    Bear with a dumb newbie question, but will there be quasi organized rides at the rally? If so, are there maps, or even better yet, .gpx files that I can preload into my Garmin?

    Best riding anywhere ever. You will love every mile. And Suezanna Settle knows that area like the back of her hand so you're in great shape.

    I'm terribly sorry but I have not made it to that level of technology yet.
    There are some rides posted here in my post from 5/31/17

    The Google map links should give you the routes...maybe you can import it somehow???

    And lord willing & the creek don't rise, we'll be tackling a few of them as small groups.
    If you are so inclined, I am looking for ride leaders...

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Thanks! I can transform those maps into Garmin's format easy enough. I created some maps for a trip up there a couple of months ago, running out of Sylva, NC, but never made it, due to severe rain forecast for the whole time we would have been there.

    Being my first time in the area, and knowing no one (yet) that will be there, I'm hesitant to volunteer to be a ride leader, but we'll see how things go.

    Nothing like jumping in and taking charge on day 1!!!
    Seriously though, whatever makes you comfortable.
    These are all easy going people and I'm sure we'll have great fun!

    If you don't have the Butler Southern Appalachia Map, I strongly recommend it - especially if yo are going to be visiting that area often!

    We have rides planned for all 3 days. If anyone would like to ride with us it is fine. We have ridden and led many rides from this motel over the years at different events that we have sponsored.
    This would not be for anyone that does not like curves or can not ride a medium speed through curves (more for experienced riders). We will not be going really fast, will not get anyone hurt.

    If you don't mind me tagging along, Rick, I have my hand in the air...
