" The Fall Color Ride " Let The Games Begin

[Smokinjoe-VRCCDS#0005]

Had supper tonight with ( 5 ) that are in my hometown in The Great State Of Tennessee for " The Fall Color Ride " . Lookin' forward to seeing everyone in Robbinsville , North Carolina tomorrow. Our group is hookin' up in the morning and will meander through the backroads going around our elbow getting to our thumb . Meeting some riders from Alabama and Georgia in Tellico Plains at the Exxon ( Biker Shed ) tomorrow should roll in between 1:30  / 2:30 local time and cross The Cherolaha Skyline into Robbinsville....Absoiutely no need for me to promote this ride whatsoever it sells out the Ground Zero motel year after year.  Everyone ride safe and I encourage everyone if you want to go somewhere and see something that my group ride is not going .... GO ... Do what you want and enjoy       


I will add a GO VOLS and so hope Ol' Smokey spanks that elephant's ass on Saturday.

Brother you know I love chasin' you around the mountains. It's one of my favorite things to do, but I guess all the past wrecks have taken their toll on me. I'd enjoy ridin' with the group but I feel the lack of any route or plan causes everyone to push too hard .
Instead of having a leisurely enjoyable ride knowing they can catch up everybody tries to keep you in sight. With a big group I've seen that become the recipe for disaster.
If Sugar & I had some idea of where ya might be headed we'd probably love to tag along, but the chase you to the next turn with a group of 30+ bikes jus' aint something we're up for anymore.
We'll sure enjoy kickin' tires & tellin' lies with everybody (& we'll still be right on your 6 when The Wild Bunch rolls if you'll have us) but I've laid us out a wandering 2 lane route toward the Highlands & Brevard, probably have some dogs at http://ddbullwinkels.com/Rockys/. Might even finally get my fat azz up Devils Courthouse on the BRP then see if Graveyard Fields has any color . Blue Ridge back to 74 & blast Smoky Mtn. Expressway to Robbinsville. Not sure we'll cover all that but I've left plenty of room to trim the route up as need be.

Hate not ridin' with the gang but jus' not comfortable playin' in the hunt up front anymore with that many bikes.
Like I saw you write not too long ago, "I got nothin' ta prove".
See ya 2mro 'bout dark-thirty'ish my friend, ride safe

Safe winds my friends

Colors should be outstanding for your ride

You will always be welcomed to join our local crew in fact I consider you part of our local crew 

Meet In The Middle Ride back in September left a bad taste for me and I understand 100 % and would like stated for any and all to go ride where you want . I'll be riding Saturday and anyone wanting to join me is cool but if I'm not going where you want to go that's good with me I'll see you at the fire-pit that evening.

Y'all have a GREAT time!

I"d love to be hanging with you guys but I'm working the Late model race @ Martinsville this weekend.

It probably won't be as eventful as hanging out with you guys, but it's still a fun time.



This is where the mayhem started:

Great party, Joe! You always throw a good one, and this may have been your best one yet. I heard a lot of good reviews from other attendees, and they all agreed with my own perception... Thanks for all you do for all of the rest of us!!!
