Well, I’m staying away from Dahlonega on Saturday (too bad because the wife wanted to go there while at the rally.)  There is a white supremacist rally.  So there will be protesters and counter protesters according to the local radio station.   Geez, I’m avoiding Dahlonega this coming weekend.

Bummer. It is a pretty town. When they had a kkk gathering in Pulaski, TN a few years ago they cordoned off the area and no protesters showed up so the dozen or so participants did their thing and left. No big deal.

Ignoring them is the best policy but the press and the protestors can’t do that anymore.

Dollar General for supplies(food/beer,etc).  Don't need to go to town.  Got some exploring plans, off the beaten paths most likely end up on a few dirt roads.👍💕👽

Hey who wants to hit Helen for good German food /beer late morning before the crowd gathers?

No need to go near Dahlonega, though it is typically a nice place to visit. If you are not familiar with Hell-un, I can give you some ideas where to visit. Octoberfest has likely started, so expect large crowds.

Thanks Wayne.  Have a nice evening!  My wife already has decided we’re heading to Helen, and I’m sure it will be crowded but we will handle it!

We had a good turnout. Started with 10 and ended with 11 on the lunch ride.






We did get a bit of rain Saturday night.

Bob, it was good seeing you again, and what a treat meeting your wife Peggy!
Friday night was some sweet tent sleeping weather and a break from the heat.
Saturday ride lift off was approx 10am and Wayne showed us all the smooth way to hustle a bike around the north Georgia mountain roads.

   Made it home to Tampa at 6:30, slabbing it all the way. We ( my friend Craig on the Concourse ) only hit about 5 minutes of rain in FL. Craig was truly impressed by the friendliness of the Guzzi people and was especially thankful to whoever it was who offered a dry bed in a cabin when his tent got flooded in that Saturday rain. Craig probably won't ever own a Guzzi, but he has respect.

It was nice meeting you and your friend Craig.  Glad you guys had a safe trip back.

Sorry I missed it.  But I was in Europe as a first timer touring the Alps on a rented Triumph Tiger 800.  Insane is the only way to describe it.  From the famous hairpin switch backs to the got-to-experience-it-to-believe-it tail-gating, to the crazy bonsai passing anywhere, anyplace, the riders make over there!  You just have to see it to believe it.  But I did get my Stelvio Pass T-shirt. 9000 feet and 45 switch-backs.  Like I said-crazy.  I can't believe people ride bicycles up that thing! :shocked:

I would go UP 60 to get to Batesville for a Cuban with no pickle (which is how it should be made in the first place) with you guys anytime!
