    Sounds dangerous :wiggle: If I've recovered from my 21st B-day by then, count me in ;) .

    Google says its up near Vogel State Park, about 2 hours north of downtown. I'll be passing through there this weekend on my fall break mountain run, might check it out.

    Blood's the destination. It's fun about 45 minutes out of Atlanta all the way to Blood. It'll be a fun 200 mile day. I lived up there for a year so if you need a good route let me know. Keep it SAFE. I'd go too, but I'm in Colorado.

    sounds good to me.And yes it will be nice with the leaves and the cool weather.Blood mtn is the big hill across from the hiker store at the gap .you know the place where all the motorcyclists turn around and race back down the road.

    I believe 129 goes over Blood Mt. Its basically part of the normal loop all the guys run up there. 60 / 180 / 129.

    sorry I don't know you're names yet, but I'll get them down soon enough.

    Edit: I am planing to just be on the main road, I know there're are trails, but I don't think we can get on them. Even if we tried.

    hard to tell ya b/c I dont have the mile markers memorized. one is coming over the Wolf Pen Gap on the side of the road. If you go up there enough you will start to realize where to umm slow down a little LOL.

    ok guys now that we're a week away, what time of day would be a good run for y'all. I can do a run almost anytime of the day, I just have to get a heads up, it's abou 45 min from my location. If you want to do a morning run, I hear those are worse, the mountian roads have rocks and dirt on them, an afternoon run, could be traffic, or a night run, it'll be dark. I can do any, just post what ya want and the majority will win it.

    how does 9:30 - 10:00 sound?
    If we could get started around then it'd be great. Make sure to bring everything ya need.

    Click Here for Meeting Directions

    Just fill in your address and we'll meet there. If you think earlier is better than I can go earlier.

    Are we going to stop for lunch or are we just going to ride around and then disperse, it'd be great to sit down to lunch with all the guys/gals. And bring anybody who wants to come, it's not suby exclusive, I have a guy bringing a Acura, a crx if he can get it running and a civic if he decides to come. So tell your friends, it's all cars welcome. Though subys will take the lead right. :cool:

    heh, I also invited the 3-digit boyz. They're a bike club and they said they'd try to have some guys out there on bikes. From what I heard about 30 of them are planing on joining us. Though it was just rumor.

    Hey, do you think that there's a closer place to meet. The bike club usually meets at the Waffle House in Lula, but I'm not sure whats closer. They said they'd meet us at there.

    also don't forget cameras, it's always good to have a few with you if you have disposeable cameras. I'm bringing my digital camera hopefully it'll have a good run. I'd bring a video camera but I can't find a way to mount it on the hood of my car, which would be cool. Anyway, hope to see a good turn out. If anybody is closer to gainesville then I can get you directions to the Lam's in gainesville, so we can ride up to clevland together if you want.

    See yall there.
