Meeting Recap- April 26, 2014

Seven of us met on this fine sunny day to plan the details of the upcoming overnight trip to T.W.O and the rescheduled ride to the Cherohala Skyway.

The start time for the Friday ride to the campground in Suches is yet to be established. As a stake in the ground I'll propose 4 p.m. at the Chevron station where East Cherokee Road and Hickory Flat highway (SR 140) meet in Hickory Flat. Those planning to go should e-mail the group accepting this start time and if a problem, suggest another time.

The June Cherohala Skyway ride is now scheduled for June 21st leaving at 8 a.m. (see Calendar for a description of the ride and the planned route).

We discussed the perils of summer detours (gravel, edge traps etc.) a la Captain Crash and his advice on the subjects of "dragging floor boards on a cruiser" and the legal aspects of motorcycling interstate.

We watched a video about flash floods and shared personal experiences of stream crossing during flooding.

Another few videos were shown just for laughs but "Smarter Every Day" came up with two, one on hockey the other that I'll call "Balloon". Rather than try to describe it you can watch it here:

Our next meeting will be on May 31st at 9 a.m.
