Update on EOM routes

[HaulinAshe]

I have a suggested change to EOM-3. Going south on rt #16 from Tazewell, Va, instead of turning up I81 why not continue south on rt #16 to Mouth of Wilson and turn west onto rt #58 over to Damascus? This section of 58 is not only senic, but has some of the most technical riding around. From Damascus head north on rt #91, (very different senery) and back to Tazewell. If time permits take a side trip south from Damascus on rt #133 and visit Shady Valley, or just travel a couple miles south from town and see the worlds shortest tunnel at the state park, (forget the name.) Just another idea.

I think you just volunteered to lead a group on route EOM-3A.

Jeff: You may wish to set up an FTP for now, as I'm not sure when I'm getting access to the server back, and I know the date is fast approaching. Still waiting on some of our other folk to return from the IBA rally to set me up with access at my new place.

The delay is not Travis or Heidi's fault, it's mine for taking so long to do the route files. I should have completed them BEFORE I went to WFO.

Well I guess I'll just have to kick your *** then, And yes you should have done it before WFO :assassin:

What beverage shall I bring you for your "heal up" time

And Slappy, hope the new stuff is way better than the old, and I aint talkin bout FJRs or EOM.

Good luck with the move and all that.

Also, may I remind everyone that there is 12 days to the very start of the meet. For those arriving on Thursday, it's only 11 days, but still, that is plenty of time to get the .gpx routes up & distributed.

I find this totally unacceptable. A complete outrage. We've all been looking forward to this event for a year now and you're telling us we have to wait another 11 days?

I'm sure next you'll be telling us there is door prizes, a killer dinner planned, great riding with multiple routes, a couple tech stations and even a local dealer who'll do tires for us at discounted prices.

Yeah, a shame this is. I'm sure this event could have been nice if people would have actually stepped up to the plate and got the job done. Jessh.

Ya'll are awesome. I personally will be buying each one of you who are organizing the shindig a round of your beverage of choice no questions asked.

*ppsstt*....Hey, fencer...can ya spot me a $20?

That is no doubt a good route, however, you are looking at 450 to 500 miles and 10-12 hours and IIRC the section of 91 over the mountain is dirt - good dirt - but nonetheless dirt for about 10 miles or so. Have fun though, kick up a gravel or two for me!

EOM 3 does not travel I-81 btw, it parallels it on Rt 11.

All the suggested EOM routes (except # 6, ride and repeat twisties) are around 300 miles by design.

I've been on most of these roads at some time or other, but I don't remember riding that many miles! It must be early alzimers setting in! Guess I'll just play it as it comes. BTW, You-all are doing a great job. Thanks. :drinks:
