Football season is rapidly approaching and my Saturdays will be occupied through Thanksgiving. Before that occurs, I'd like to see how many southeastern FJR folks will show up for an unstructured RTE.
Saturday, August 22 is open on my calendar, so there's the date.
Scooters Bar-B-Que & Grill, 7052 U.S. 441, Dillard, GA 30537 (GPS: 34.976011, -83.383431) has good-to-decent reviews and is about 2.5 hours from Atlanta, Knoxville, and Greenville, so there's the place.
1:00 pm means no one leaves too early in the morning, so there's the time.
Unstructured means ride there, eat, say hello, and ride home.
Rain or shine, folks; we're supposed to be TOURING bikers.
I am sure you can sample a bunch of twisty roads on the way there and on the way home. I am equally sure somebody can offer up a 1-hour spin through the adjacent mountains, but I am already pushing the envelope of my host/organizer skills. (Perhaps: Dillard ---> Clayton ---> Warwoman Road ---> GA 28 ---> Highlands ---> Scaly Mountain ---> Dillard?)
Despite living my entire life attempting to jettison responsibility, I will obligate myself for three items beyond the many offered above:
1)Personally scope out Scooters prior to, done
2) Solemnly promise to get there early (barring serious catastrophe), and
3)Provide cell phone number for the inevitable last-minute ****. PM me
PS: All bikes welcome (of course) and if you want to ride here from Houston, well, you'll be welcome, too.
Yes: (as of Aug 21)
