Fall B3R 2013 - Oct 19-20
Ok, so the date is set as Oct 19th - 20th.
Those who have came in the past know how I am... and how I do things. I enjoy the group effort and everyone helping out to make this a great event. This involves setup, cooking, clean up, etc... DO NOT RELY ON ANYONE BUT YOURSELF FOR YOU TO HAVE A GOOD TIME!!! if you have questions about anything, please ASK!!! The biggest part of the larger group get together is happening from Saturday evening and Sunday morning... Saturday - Oct 19 ?? - 6pm - make your way to Smokemont Campground in Cherokee NC 6 pm - At Smokemont Campground, start the fire(s), prepare for the cookout and the evening. * Anyone who wishes to help with the grilling, please, don't hesitated to help out the others. We've all been to cook outs before, so this tends to run pretty smoothly. Sunday - Oct 20 Breakfast - Individual Effort!!! - in other words, it's on you, go to cherokee, bring something, it's up to you... 10 am - For those who wish to do it, we will leave from Cherokee, back on the Parkway to Asheville. We will make 2 main stops for 15-30 min - 1st - figure it out on the way! =] - 2nd - just past Pisgah Mountain Inn (~mile marker 408) The stop at the Pisgah Mountain Inn is where I will consider the end of the event. This helps keep the GA folks from driving too far out of the way to get back home. Anyone who wishes to follow with me the remaining few miles back to Asheville are more than welcome... As we grow, things are going to change... this year I'm not going to lead a convoy on Saturday and everyone stopping in the same places as a group like I have in the years past. Not many of the over looks had space for everyone to park last year... This year no one is on "my schedule" on Saturday and I invite you to make your way down the parkway at a pace you enjoy, stopping as often as you like to take in the beauty of the area. And I will see you at the campsite later that evening. Below I am posting my Saturday schedule, for anyone who wishes to "be like a native"... Anyone is welcome to join me for all or part of my trip, but I'm serious when I say I won't stop often or for long... just stop at a few of my fav little spots... What I'm doing... 8:30 am - Breakfast in Asheville, NC - Cracker Barrel (west asheville - 5 Crowell Road Asheville 28806) 9:30 - 10am - Gas up, final checks on the car and gear... 10 am - Get on the road, head up down Smoky Parky hwy to Pisgah Hwy (NC hwy 151) to the Parkway and go South... * I'll probably make one or two short stops - 10-15 min stops - and then continue on my way... ~ 1pm - Arrive at the campground, check in and claim our group sites. 1pm - 6pm - hang out, get lunch in cherokee, get food for the evening, collect fire wood... If you have any questions, please ask... I know that Holly and Jeremy usually coordinate the ATL crowd... If you would like a list of hotels in the Asheville area for Friday night, let me know, and I'll give you to look into. http://www.blueridgerotaryrun.com/im...9/IMG_0408.jpg Picture taken by Kevin (ZGN) |
In case you are wondering, yes I just copy/pasted the intro thread from last year =]
most people who come to this know how it goes... We have Group sites 1 and 2 again this year. |
Cool. May try to make this. I love that part of the blue ridge as in my avatar
|
Oh yea :nod:
Should have the 82 back together soon and finish the setup on the 93. So count on us. :smiley309 |
Me too!!
|
I'm planning to make this again this year. Always a great time with the rotorheads.
|
i am planning on it also
|
Looks like I'll be in town that weekend, so I can hang out for a little while, as usual. I actually get more excited about having breakfast with eggs (I don't usually get that - High Cholesterol) LOL!
|
It's on my calender. Had a great time last year. Looking forward to it.
|
Looks like fun, thinking about this...
|
I'm planing on making it this fall. Always a fun time.

I should be there with at least one of the 7s.
Attachment 508923 I'm working feverishly in my spare time (LOL) to get both road worthy again. Attachment 508924 I've taught the boy how to: turn the key until it fires & then let off, change the fuel filter, distinguish which pedal is the throttle, drain the fuel tank, and pull out the choke. He should appreciate everyone's cars this year. Not that he didn't last year. Attachment 508925 I'll bring plenty of carving pumpkins. ... and beer. |
I'll be traveling South on the BRP from mile marker 199ish in Fancy Gap, Virginia near I-77 / I-81 in SW Virginia if anybody wants to meet up and caravan.

Oh well, more beer for the rest of us.
Cant get caught not doing my due diligence! |
Tray, is this still on this year? If so, only 3 weekends until B3R is on again.
|
Damn! I still gotta brew more beer, not enough at this point.
I'll be there Holly, just make sure Ray gets his butt in gear to be there too! |

I should go this year. Haven't been to this event in a long time. The bridgeport still runs. The event happens right in the middle of my fall break too.
How cold is it going to be up there this year? lol. |
I'm expecting to be at some portion of the event. My son ha a bike race weekend in Brevard, it all depends on what events he does on what days.
|
So... due to the government shut down... the campground is currently closed!!! so yeah, this make a problem for the event...
I know some people will be travelling a few hours to get here for the event... but if we don't have a camp site then yeah, that's annoying!!! i'll keep my eye one the campsite to see if it opens back up before the event... but not sure what to tell people about if they want to come or not... i know i'll still be making the drive that day... |
