Deals Gap, Spring 2016
Hey folks,

A group of friends and I have saved the dates April 27 to May 1, 2016, to go back to Deals Gap. Weather on our last trip was horrible and we want to enjoy it better. The tentative schedule of events looks like this:

Wednesday April 27: Ride Hard all the way to Franklin, NC. I plan to stay in the Franklin Hampton Inn.

Thursday 28: Ride the Dragon and the Skyway.

Friday 29: Wheels Through Time Museum and Maggie Valley ride

Saturday 30: Ride Back.

Sunday: Recovery to get back to work on Monday.

Look forward to see other CBs up there then.
The ferret
Cheers!

RE: Deals Gap, Spring 2016
That will be a great ride Nemo. The forum will most likely have our rally in that area next May so the dates are quite close. All makes of bikes are welcome.

Just noticed that you are in Jacksonville, my hometown for 45 years. Grew up there in the 50's and 60's. Give me a shout if you wish to ride this way sometime.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

Well... If the forum rally will be in May, I might adjust my plan to be able to meet with the CB brethren.

I've called JAX home since 2003, when work had me exiled from Puerto Rico. Tongue I may give you a shout sooner than later when I take the CB out to stretch. Stay tuned.

I grew up in Jville too. Went to Englewood and Landon and in the 60's . That was a great "little" town back then.

What a coincidence, I started junior high at Englewood in 1960 but we later moved to Arlington area and went to high school at Terry Parker, Englewood's great football rival.

The forum rally actually is in the Summer and in Virginia this year. Are you guys still thinking Deal's Gap/The Dragon/Gatlinburg in the Spring?

This exchange was made before any firm date or place had been set I believe.

Stay tuned...
