Hey guys, It's gotten to be a bit of a tradition after the Caffeine and Octane meet(first Sunday of the month off of Windward Parkway up 400) to do a mountain run up to Wolfpen Gap. Who's up to do it this Sunday? We'll leave around 10(or whenever we get tired of walking around looking at cars) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It sure is I am planning on it as well - 8:00ish seemed to work pretty good last time Also BTW, a friendly reminder that there will likely be many cyclists training for this event at the end of this month. http://www.cyclenorthgeorgia.com/images/route-information/Six_Gap_Route_Map_NO_YEAR_Web.pdf
Thanks for organizing. I was going to post something but my car will likely be in pieces this weekend so I won't be attending.
I won't be making to to C&O, but still want to join. Has anyone decided on a time and place to meet? Last time I went, it was the Shell down the road at 10a.
I was curious about this as well. I live on the way to mountains, do you guys stop for gas along GA400 for a secondary meeting point.
If we've done it in the past months, then I'm sure we can do it this month. This will actually be my first time doing one of these post-C&O runs, so I'm pretty excited.
The Chevron at the end of 400 with the Waffle House behind it is the secondary meetup/fill-up point typically https://www.google.com/maps/@34.468...ata=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sfl9CmikmjBx343rm9gNRoQ!2e0
make sure that everyone brings 21 channel radios. from my experiance its so much easier if everyone has a radio to communicate and make sure we all can stay in touch, if you dont have any they range from $35 to $60 from walmart. on another note, how does everyone feel about having some mazda guys tag along? and DUKE!!! we have met before! a few years back i sold you a helmet! its been a while!
I would say we are in the formative stage of planning now-we have left at both 8:00a from the C&O event along with the 86 Atlanta group last time and before that at 10:00a from the Shell thats a short way down Windward Parkway on the other side of 400 Seeing Dana's post about the 86 folks maybe we can nail down a definitive plan. Leaving earlier left time for an early lunch and most of the rest of the day free.
So, lets say roll out from C&O around 8:00ish - its about 45m to get to the Chevron/WaHo by a little before 9:00a.
James, there is a separate C&O thread with that info, might check it out. The last time I got there at 6:05 and got one of the last spaces they were holding down at the northeast corner of the lot, so the earlier the better.
So I'm not gonna make it to C&O, but had fun riding up 400 with everyone last time. Any meet up location for the roll out, or should I just shoot for the chevron/Waffle House ?
Im not sure on a first meet up location for the rollout other than C&O. We may shoot over to the Shell(?...I think) on the other side of 400. If you're in the area of Windward Parkway, just stop by around 8, and you can roll out with us then. There won't be any places to park, but we should be leaving around 8ish. I'll post up tomorrow morning around 7ish if we're going to the Shell across 400 on Windward(so right instead of left off 400N).
Cool. That's where I met up last time I went. We parked over by the car wash at the shell. If not...to Waffle House! Busy day today, so I don't want to get up early enough for C&O... :/
I probably won't be going on the mountain run tomorrow. I've got too much to do around the house. I will be at Caffeine and octane though, just maybe not early enough to catch you guys. Drive safe!
I'm gonna try and be at the shell at 8 Someone please text me if you leave earlier as I'll just continue on to chevron/waho 404-3five8-239seven
Man, yesterday was fun!! Minus the rain towards the end, but I had a blast! Thanks again Chip for leading the charge, and it was good to meet everyone. I'll try to post up the pics and vids that got soon.
If y'all upload the photos and vids(especially the Go-Pro Footage), I could do a little video montage/compilation with some of the epic music I was listening to during the good part of the driving yesterday. Anyone interested in seeing something like that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
