EOM 2014 routes probably won't be touched up and posted until first of September. Lee has some new stuff to throw down for us, so we'll have more than the routes from last year.

I'm coming Thursday, riding Friday and Saturday, and heading home Sunday. That seems to have been the "classic" schedule though some folks extended that to leave on Monday to get the extra day of riding on Sunday.
Yep, same, we will fly home Sunday to get the Boss to work on time Monday.
 
In...supposedly got the last n/s 2 double bed room. So it sounds like plenty are coming. I've never been to Maggie Valley...I hope it's not too far away.

 
Damn...you guys are killing me.
Joe - it's only what, 500-ish miles each way? I'll have a 600+ mile ticket to punch on the way home Sunday. C'mon man, you allergic to mileage now?
Not at all...I'll have a 800 mile ticket to punch on the way home from NAFO Sunday.

I just can't get the time off (from work or the wife) to do everything that I'd like to do.

Wow, more routes? Cool! We attempted the twisty blast last year. Sorry to say that we didn't make it all the way through. I think that I cut out first... because I partied too much the previous night & was fading rapidly. The guys continued on & I think that I remember they didn't make it all the way through the route, either.

Yep. That route was fun, but tiring. I should have quit when you did, but I was stubborn and tried to finish. I made a minor mistake later on and put my foot down at a stop where there was no road under me. It was a big pothole right where my foot was headed. I toppled over. No harm done, but it was something I would not have done if I had not been tired.

 
I was looking @ a picture from last year from our stop where Eric's GPS took a dump. It was him, me, Joe, you & Paul. Perfectly sized group. Those twisties wore me the hell out.

I didn't know that you had taken a fall, Greg.

I saw the hole when I stopped (I almost did the same thing)...that thing was more like a sink hole.

Yup, got a couple new routes to add. Also, adding a list of stuff to do in case some of y'all want to split ride time to visit area attractions. There's a lot to see.

This is just too hard to believe ;) :)

I want to do the EOM 500, but I don't think Spanky will be up for it.
Is she gonna do the Rally at NAFO with you?
Oh yeah. She is looking forward to it.
What is the EOM 500 and the Rally at NAFO?
A 500 mile day route/loop, they will leave quite early in the AM for this one.

NAFO? LaCrosse? U know 'bout that one Allen!
I know NAFO, but what is the Rally?!
