CF/TWF Rally South

[Mr Lefty]

well if your talk'n about days off for the rally... I'd say if you can only get it extended on one side or the other... do after... for the recovery...

and cool... then I'll plan on hitting the gap up on monday or tuesday depending on when everyone is heading back. I was always gonna take about 5 days off...

I think if I take 2 kinda long weekends and grab a shift or 2 between the wedding and the rally I can more easily pull it off.

I think I'm going to need at least one day off before. Our weeks start on Friday & there's no way in hell I'm going to work Thursday night then make a 600 mile run on the bike after working all night. That is, assuming we'll be heading out Friday morning.

Theres pros and cons to that. Its great because if I work monday night say I have most of monday off, however I leave work at 7am tues morning. And now way in hell would I pull an all day trip after working a shift. The upside is I have plenty of vacation time.

Tom,

Damn, I haven't been on in a while. Ebbs, Rogue, I'd like to hit the Gap with you guys after, it'll be awesome. I'm already planning on taking the weeks on either side off. As for riding up, if you guys want to meet somewhere in northern MS I'm game, me and Ebbs will be coming from the same place anyway.

A couple of the people on CF said they were still coming, but to be honest most of the usernames I'm dealing with over there are here as well, so I'm just going to pad my numbers by five and go from there. Now if the damn hotel will call me back...

Slab sucks... but it's 1000x worse when you don't have someone to ride with IMO... riding up to Trip's (Knoxville) from Rae's (Ft Walton Beach) was all slab... but it was awesome to just shoot the shit at the gas stops... though it killed our travel time... 9hr trip took 12.5

Oh please, im attached and I can do the same thing!

And true, having someone to ride with makes a world of difference, and stopping at all the lil random scenic places or "just because" is friggin awesome.

The only exception would be gas shortages, and 5-7 hour trips that turn into 12! But I wouldnt change a thing!

Just thinking about it makes my ass hurt.

Ya know, coming back from Indy by myself wasnt nearly as bad as youd think. Everyone else split off in Louisville, and altho I was sad to leave them, just crossing the country and thru the cities by myself was pretty nifty too. I gave friends my locations and plans, with text updates, and explored lil pieces of the world. I can be kind of a loner tho, i guess. There was one lil town, before nashville, WAAAAAAYYYY off the interstate, name looked interesting, so i went to check it out. A tiny lil town, complete with an old timey drug store and town square was there for me to explore and rest. I even met a few friendly locals, like the town judge as I was gearing back up. He saw me, was a fellow rider and came over to say hi!

*and after the first 1500 miles ya cant feel a thing! *

that's cause your attachment is a male... not a female with trust issues and fuck'n drama.

besides... Jason should have a bike by then and come with!

[Mr Lefty]

I think your planned route is diffrent from mine... I was going over to Ft Walton Beach to meet up with The Chi... then up to Montgomery then through ATL and up... though I'll probably try to avoid ATL and swing north on country roads...
but
