Sounds like a plan. Did 561 get back to you regarding that alternative route? I might be game for an over-nighter.

SURE!!! So who's gonna fly me and the Z4 to Cali??? :cpilot:

P.S. - Z4C only flies 1st class, thanks! :D
 
Try 151 it is tighter than the Dragon. It is about six miles long. It is about three miles north of Pisgah Inn on the Blue Ridge Parkway. 2Zero can tell you all about smoking brakes on this route.

As for the Mini's it looks like as long as we run the dragon in the morning we should be okay. It might even be nice to check out there cars as well. Once we finish the Dragon we could head out onto the Cherhola Skyway, in the afternoon after lunch.
Anyway, all and any feedback would be appreciated!

You do realize that there is usually about 400 or more MINI's there for the annual GTG. There will not be any time that is clear of the MINI's running The Dragon :wink:

Okay folks,

looks like there's a good bit of concern regarding May 3-4, given the Mini's meet that weekend (and rightfully so...)

Looked at the calendar of events on the TOTD website: pretty much every weekend has some car group event, on top of the usual weekend crowds.

What do you all think of doing a weekday meet/run? Is this a feasible alternative for those interested in doing a one day run on open roads, allowing us to maximize our time and fun?
 
I have a friend that has a mini and did the Dragon with them last year. He said there was 500 + mini's there. Sounds like wall to wall mini's. 2Zero just informed me of the trip I am planning in June the Honda 2008 will be there. I guess we will havw alot bikes with us. I hope they don't know about 151. :driving:
 
Sorry for not updating... Just a busy month for me right now.

There appear to be a few people who would be able to do a weekday run and quite a few more who wouldn't be able to. I am up for a smaller initial weeekday group run and then perhaps arranging for a larger weekend meet later in the year on a not so busy weekend. This initial meet could help in planning the larger meet. So if those of you interested in doing a weekday run are still up for it let me know here and we can set a date and start making some firm plans.

Thanks!
 
Okay for those of you interested in doing the weekday run in May, I was thinking of meeting up on the 5th (it's a monday) This will be after the Mini's meet. Please let me know if this works! Hope to hear from everyone by the end of the week so we can set a final date so those that need to make necessary arrangements can do so soon. Also do you all think we should do a two day meet and try to hit as many of the roads in the area as possible? If so let me know.
