Mountain Run to Helen for Octoberfest

Is anyone interested in putting together a Mountain Run to Helen this month for Octoberfest. For at least the past 3 years, we have had a Mountain Run to Helen during the month of October. I am very interested in going this year, and would like to get a group together for the ride.

I would like to suggest Saturday Oct 22 if anyone is interested.

 

working. heh

 

I could imagine the traffic up there this month is going to be crazy. How has it been in the past?

Crazy!

 

Yea traffic directly through Helen is pretty crazy on the main strip. The trick is to get onto the parallel back streets and park.

I'll be out of town the 22nd

 

dibs on the M

 

If people are going to be out of town on the 10-22, we could move it to the following week. I would just like to go before the end of the month, and next weekend is out for me as I will most likely be going to Durhamtown Plantation for some Dirt Bike/ATV fun.

I plan on taking the bike to Helen if we do this.

 

weekend of the 29th is Tech / Clemson - fat chance there

 

if you do it the last weekend in September (like we did), you get all the Octoberfest w/o all the BS.

Kind of hard to do the last weekend of September when we are already in October. Can definitely make a note of that for next year though.

 

it's slow. take the bike

 

was thinking about that, actually, if berger is taking his

 

trip next weekend to Durhamtown is booked...i'd be up for that weekend

 

seems to be a popular place for one way helicopter rides anyways

 

uhhh...sure...

 

family friend lives near there, watches quite a few Life Flights in & out

 

i'll be camping up in Rabun co. next weekend. probably wont have another weekend off till the 19th of november

 

^^ wow it must suck knowing you won't be off for a whole year

 

again...math owns him

 

swore i typed november, lol. fixed it. i'm half-asleep

 

I understand bro. I was just making a comment. It's not technically Oktoberfest but all the bars are setup for it...all the cops are out enforcing it.

You just don't have to deal w/ the huge crowds which means more beer, available rooms at the hotel, etc.

Maybe next year.

Here is what we called it:

"ride to the river to wreck your liver"

I may be using this in the future...that's awesome

 

He said september

 

So, are we shooting for next Saturday?

Does someone who usually plans Mountain Runs want to start a clean thread to put together details?

 

If you guys need somewhere to rally up, you can use my place.

I'm 20 min from Helen.

And while you're here turn a wrench and drink a beer!

 

I have been working on Charity Mountain Run, the forums is more than welcome to come and play.

 

that's cool. remember it started w/ the "BDAC" crew
