So what time is everyone getting in? when are we going to start meeting up? I think I see GixxerHP down the hill at his phillips place. Looks like the swings from old bash pictures. I am out to get something to eat. I am starving and havent eaten all day
Make sure you go up on the skyway and find this pull off....you'll forget about the ride in the rain.
Wish I could be there.
Cherohala skyway?
And your not coming out?
Well since I am the first on here and no one is getting here til tomorrow :laugh, I think i will just go ride the dragon a good number of times to get familiar with it and maybe swing by the damn or skyway or both. The weather is supposed to be nice from 10-3. Friday is an even smaller good weather window and sat is supposed to be beautiful.
You have more faith that I do Big E.. Two bikes on a trailer with NO CHOCKS?? That's crazy to me!! Good luck though, may the force be with you...
I Guess the difference between the trailer and the back of the Pick-up is if a bike falls over on the trailer, it may end up sliding down the pavement. :nervous:
By the way, I have ridden bikes on the back of my Pick-up for years, using only handle bar straps, or a canyon dancer, 1,000's of miles, never had an incident. Never used a chock for transportation, not sure what that does to the forks due to the distance below center of gravity support. Maybe one day I'll do some calculations if someone else has not done it before?
I made a wise choice. Don't know about Deals Gap, but it has rained here for the past two days. You folks have a blast.
30-20% chance of rain in Robbinsville. We will think of you while carving canyons in the sunshine.

Yes it poured on me as I was on my way to the dragon at 10. It stopped about 11 and it was beautiful for about 3 hours. I just got back to my room. Time for some food!
I had a BLAST. Took me 2 round trips through before I got a feel for it and I got my knee down for the first time ever on my 4th round trip through
I am self proclaiming myself, the Rain Veteran. After yesterdays 150 miles in the rain and todays downpour going to deals gap....
