FCR Robbinsville, NC is getting nearer.

[..]

2 weeks to go and fingers crossed no work that weekend.

I told my boss at the beginning of September I wanted the Fri, Sat and Sun off. Reminded them 5 days ago.

Changed oil, final drive oil and front brake pads this afternoon.

I hope EVERYONE attending is going to take the time to check their tire pressure, tread depth, brake pads at the least before heading to Robbinsville.

Don't let your slack maintenance at worst cause an accident. At the least cause other riders to waste time helping you to fix your bike.

Having a battery crap out or a final drive failure can ge forgiven.

Was out cleaning and looking at my Voyager. Got to looking at the rear tire and only have 2/32 left on it. It's already down to the wear bar. Will order new tire in the morning and have it on before leaving headed to the FCR.

I and others will be going to the Wheels Through Time museum in Maggie Valley.

Will the ride be spirited? Hard to tell.

Let's hope Weather Channel is wrong.  Showing 60% rain Fri and Sat in Robbinsville.

Is there a rain route?

Is there a rain route?

A couple of years ago one group went over the Cherohala and got sleet and ice.

Others of us went down 28 and got dry roads (on the way down)...

Weather people are 50% right at best in my experience. No need to worry this early.
