That seems odd to invite others to ride your are being invited too. However, I think we need to start moving away from the only hardline members and potential members can ride with us idea. I think being a little bit more open with our rides will lead to more interest in the club and more members. I think there is no harm in inviting them along. If they are idiots we can always heckle them. ;D

Okay, I will respond affermative with the understanding on the secrecy of the area. Probably partly my fault, I just asked bob to come along, I did not say it was a private ride.

We will have guides, inviting friends and all that so not really private. But definately stress the deal with the location. Oh yeah, and no posting pictures this time!!!!! :flipoff1:

This is my reply to Bob.

Yes, that is fine. They do need to understand this is a private club ride. While light drinking on the trail is okay, heavy drinking will not be tolerated. That is saved for the hotel parking lot. Also, this is a secrete spot. They cannot say where they rode, only that it is in Monteagle. They can post no pictures to any web site. I can not stress it enough, that they can not talk about where we go.

I booked a room for myself and Jamie/Amie. We will be there sometime on Friday, probably in the afternoon.

Also if anybody is down for a Friday afternoon ride Hale Mtn is only about 20 miles from our Hotel...... I would be up for it..

If all goes well with JoAnn this week, I will be leaving sometime friday afternoon and Mapquest shows the hotel almost 60 miles shorter going up highway 65 than going through Chattanooga. So, what time would you be leaving on Friday? :dunno:

Probably around noon. I figure my normal Friday breakfast at Ken's BBQ, load and leave.

BamaTJ · Apr 5, 2010

Yeah since we are staying in Winchester and just riding Iron Gap it is faster to take I-65 up. Hale Mtn is actually closer than the hotel and it is kidna on the way. I would say maybe meet about lunch time or a little after at Hale Mtn for those that want to ride it Friday. If we have no takers I will just go to EOR and hang out at the shop.

May do Hale Mountain on Sunday. Don't want to risk breaking before the ride we planned. I hate working in motel parking lots!!!!

I am still in as long as mine gets a well needed transmission transplant in time. Should be no problem, or I will just borrow the 38' Special. Is that alright with you John? :dunno:
