Meeting Recap--February 22, 2014

Ten of us got together this sunny Saturday to lay out our ride plans for the coming months. The Brasstown Bald Reverse Ride is next up, scheduled for March 15th. On April 12th we plan to ride the Cherohala east to west after approaching from Wayah Road. For May we're thinking of an overnight, camping at Tellico Plains then riding the Cherohala west to east, then the Hellbender down to the Nantahala. June would be a ride to Highlands North Carolina for the waterfall circuit.

There was some interest in having a family BBQ at Timothy or a family picnic at Fort Mountain. We'll explore these options at the next meeting.

We viewed video clips and discussed "riding in the rain" and had a lengthy discussion  about the effect of the upcoming time change will have on riding hours. Remember, Spring forward, Fall back, so later dawns and later sunsets but the same amount of riding time between

We lived vicariously through the adventures of three riders tackling the Siberian wilderness, and two Canadians attending a BMW rally in Pennsylvania. We also had a few laughs seeing how others handled their ice/snow events.

Our next meeting will be at 9 a.m. March 29th  .
